Live morning television got very homoerotic this week.
On Thursday, Live with Kelly and Mark dived head first into Sean Cody fantasy territory compliments of co-host Mark Consuelos flashing his bulging muscles as he poured himself into a University of Michigan wrestling singlet to spar with a college athlete. Michigan boys know how to party!
While his wife, Kelly Ripa, watched from the sidelines, the 52-year-old got into the ring with Mason Parris, a buff University of Michigan athlete who is considered to be “the most dominant wrestler in college.” This is a lot to take in before we’ve even had our first cup of coffee!
“Mason, just remember, he is your father’s age, so just take it easy on him,” Ripa said of her hunky hubby to the young jock.
Once the match started it was evident that the former All My Children star was way out of his league.
Performing a series of aggressive moves, Parris tossed Consuelos around like a rag doll by lifting him over his shoulders, rolling him on the floor, mounting him from the back, and eventually pinning him down to the mat.
While Consuelos tried to put up a fight, he eventually relented and gave in to his younger competitor. It’s all about relinquishing control!

Interestingly, many of the countries that have printed these stamps don’t have particularly friendly histories when it comes to gay people.
Despite not coming out on top, this isn’t the first time Consuelos has gotten into a fight on screen with a much younger hunk.
During his tenure on the teen drama Riverdale, the actor engaged in some sweaty shirtless boxing scenes with the show’s main star KJ Apa.
Besides indulging in daddy/son fetishes, Consuelos has a history of being a staunch advocate of the LGBTQ+ community.
In addition to be best of friends with queer celebs like Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper and Jake Shears, Consuelos and Ripa were both honored with the Trevor Project’s 2019 Champions Award for their commitment to supporting the organization’s mission to end suicide among LGBTQ+ youth.
Prior to that, the couple were the creative force behind Logo’s 2017 reality show Fire Island, serving as executive producers on the series which documented the lives of 6 gay men spending the summer at the queer New York beach community.

While Ripa has been co-hosting Live since 2001, Consuelos became her official co-host in April as the show was rebranded Live with Kelly and Mark.
Married since 1996, Ripa has made a hobby of sharing thirsty photos of her husband’s fit physique and we’re not mad at it.

I miss Kathie Lee Gifford……

Who?

Naw. Having her christian nonsense spewing makes me never want to watch her again, even if she’s an advocate of LGBTQ+ community, her captivation with Christianity makes me believe she’s not 100% dealing with reality. I mean, how could she be when she believes in sky fairies?

Ben, take an online course in sarcasm. Please, for the benefit of all.

@abfart
Who would miss that old bag Kathie Lee who’s anti lgbtq? If you hate yourself bc ur gay or bi, get therapy. If you’re a GQP troll, go to H€LL!

So do I.

Kathie Lee is satan but these two are no better. Just a boring show. Who watches this crap?

What exactly was Kelly Ripa’s role in Regis Philbin’s “voluntary” retirement? Unanswered questions remain.
PapaBearPgh
I have wondered that myself.
ShiningSex
He was old as f*ck. He’s dead now.
She’s just as boring as Kathie Lee was. Her “husband” looks just as boring.

Mark and the Michigan wrestler were not evenly matched. Putting side the fact that Mark is over twice his age, the young guy is much taller, probably outweighs him and is a champion wrestler! I believe Kelly and Mark’s youngest son went (or goes) to the University of Michigan so that may have had something to do with it as well. Having said all that, Mark is, and always has been, off the charts hot.

Not at all interested in this and didn’t even bother reading the article after seeing a few photos.
Kelly Rippa/Mark Consuelos….. Nope!

A very good call!

The BEST daytime talk show Latino daddy…MUI CALIENTE!!!

Are there others?
I saw Kelly & Ryan Live in person once in NY. Never again. They keep you waiting forever, then let you in…to the gift shop.

I think Mark Consuelos is incredibly sexy
cuteguy
Mark Consuelos used to be a stripper so I’m glad he kept his sexiness
ScottOnEarth
Seriously, Mark Consuelos is one of the sexiest men on earth. Period. More importantly, he seems like a very sweet, kind man and, as mentioned above, has always been a Queer ally, along with funny/sweet/smart/gorgeous Kelly. I could never even think of watching “Live” as long as Ryan Seacrest was on but Kelly and Mark are the perfect pair to host the show. They obviously have great chemistry and I wish the entire hour consisted of the two of them telling their hilarious stories.
PapaBearPgh
I have always wondered if either of their sons have come out yet. Also, I had wondered if Mark, in his early years, might have swung both ways?

Sons Joaquin and Michael are dating each other. Just a casual thing, nothing serious.

I had a massive crush on Mark when he was on AMC…and damn has he aged well! Muy caliente!
ShiningSex
He looks as boring as his wife. Ridiculous! Stupid article on NOTHING. Waste!!!!
At least get someone good looking not boring

I’ve heard that Kelly and Mark are my neighbors. I know that Kelly has been seen at my neighborhood gourmet pudding shop. The staff say that Mark is a hunk. Both are apparently very nice.
