Mark Consuelos revealed that he and Kelly Ripa have used Live with Kelly and Mark as a "safe space" to work through some marriage issues.
The 54-year-old has been his wife's permanent co-host for almost three years, and he admitted during a recent appearance that their home life can sometimes bleed into their work.
Mark was a guest on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday and was asked by a member of the audience if there have been any "on-air conversations with Kelly that led to arguments at home."
In response, Mark said "no," but did admit that they may bring arguments from home into the studio.
"Um, no. No, no. But sometimes, we bring up stuff on air because it's kind of a safe space," he confessed. "'Cos there's an audience there, and you can kind of make a joke out of it," he added in explanation.
Kelly and Mark have been married since 1996, when they eloped in Las Vegas one year after meeting on the set of All My Children, in which they starred as on-screen love interests, Hayley Vaughan and Mateo Santos.
Kelly previously said that she knew Mark was 'the one' before she even met him. "I saw my husband in a photograph before I saw him, and I knew," Kelly said during an interview on SiriusXM's Radio Andy.
"I wasn't looking to get married... but when I saw him, the photograph of him, I saw my entire future with him flash before – like I saw it. And I don't believe in any of that, but now I do. Because of that moment."
Not that marriage is always easy. Kelly has been open and honest about how they've made their romance a success.

Last August, Kelly and Mark discussed the idea of looking for love again should their almost 30-year marriage end, and Kelly had a very specific list of qualities she would require her "next husband."

Making it clear she would look for nothing but companionship, Kelly added: "He has to have severe [erectile dysfunction]. Severe," before joking: "And like, at least $6 billion in the bank."

"I would mourn the loss," he said to a confused Kelly, who replied: "The loss of your marriage?" Clarifying, he stated: "Well, I'm assuming you passed away because why would you ever leave?"
