Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have been working together on LIVE since 2023, and viewers get to find out a lot more about the couple’s personal lives each morning on the show as a result.
The pair are known for being incredibly honest and aren’t afraid to say what they think either!
During May 21st’s episode, the couple were discussing downtown Manhattan, which is notoriously known for its young, hip crowd.
While Kelly thought that it wasn’t that disimular to parts of the Upper East Side – where the couple have lived for over a decade – Mark had a contrasting view on their neighbourhood.
“Everyone is young downtown,” Kelly said, as Mark added: “Uptown is a little different.”

“You’re closer to that,” Kelly replied. “I’m going to challenge you,” she continued. “When you go into Central Park, people running are also very fit, there are a lot of runners…”
“If you get out of the park and go East, not so much,” Mark replied. “That’s big talk from someone who lives in the very area you’re disparaging,” Kelly responded.
Mark then joked that when they first moved to the area, he was mistaken for the dog walker due to being so much younger than the majority of the residents.
All jokes aside, Kelly and Mark are clearly very happy with their choice of neighbourhood, where they have been living since 2013.

The $27 million, 7,796-square-foot Upper East Side townhouse has been turned into their “forever home,” and Kelly recently told Architectural Digest that they had no plans to move again.
“We’ve moved several times in our lives, but no matter where we go, for me, this is my forever home,” the star explained. “When I walked in here, I was like, ‘This is the final place where I will live.’ I love this house so much.”

The five-story home is a modern marvel, boasting touches of French and old Hollywood glamor, which Kelly revealed was inspired by the film Mommie Dearest.
It has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, an extravagant foyer that resembles a hotel, and an elevator to take the family up to their rooftop, which has its own bar.
