Kelly Ripa Reveals One Thing She Won't Do If She and Mark Consuelos Split originally appeared on Parade.

Kelly Ripa revealed that she won't ever get "naked again" if she and her husband, Mark Consuelos, ever end their marriage.

During the Wednesday, July 2, episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa, 54, wondered what would hypothetically happen if she and Consuelos, 54, ever broke up. If the scenario were to ever come true, Ripa said that she would not be interested in dating again.

"Let's just say you were to leave me. I can say with 100% certainty that dating is out of the question," Ripa told Consuelos. "I've had three kids, there's too much to explain."

Not only did Ripa say that she wouldn't be interested in a relationship, she added that she didn't see herself wanting to be physically intimate with anyone else.

"I'm not ever getting naked again — and I resent having to get naked in front of you sometimes," she said. "I'm like, 'No, no, no. Light out. You can wait until dark. Also, turn off that light, and also turn off your cell phone light. I want it pitch-black in here. And no unexpected touching!'"

The mother of three seemed confident in her decision in the theoretical situation, while Consuelos laughed along with the audience.

While Ripa wondered what her life would be like if they split, there's no denying that she and Consuelos are still very much in love. During a March episode of their talk show, Ripa and Consuelos discussed what love meant to each of them.

“What is love? I mean, I guess the meaning of love for men and women should and probably is naturally something different,” Consuelos said at the time. “I mean, just subtly different.”

After he joked that love "is spending a quiet afternoon with you just watching me watch sports," Consuelos added, "No, I love being with my family. We didn’t have a family back then. Love's evolved."

Meanwhile, Ripa said that “love is too complicated to define.” She continued, "I’ve been in love with you since the day I met you, and beyond loving you, I really like you a lot."
