The ‘LIVE’ co-hosts joked about the unexpected third wheel in their marriage.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have been happily married since 1996, but now Ripa is questioning her place in the relationship thanks to her husband’s so-called “other wife.” In a playful promo for their upcoming ESPN series Running with the Wolves, the LIVE co-hosts joked about the unexpected third wheel in their marriage.
In a clip previewed by Entertainment Weekly, the couple navigates a shift in their family life as they work to maintain not only their roles as co-hosts on LIVE With Kelly and Mark but also as co-owners of the Italian Campobasso Wolves soccer team.
Ripa revealed that her husband has been spending more time with a new partner, someone she jokingly refers to as his “other wife.” The person taking center stage in this new partnership is Matt Rizzetta, a fellow co-owner of the Wolves.
In the clip, Consuelos is seen with Ripa, talking to their daughter Lola Consuelos via video chat. Suddenly, he leaves their conversation to take another call.
“Oh shoot, this is Matt. I’ve got to go talk to Matt. I’ll be right back,” Consuelos admits. Ripa told their daughter, “Dad has to talk to his other wife.”
Ripa later confessed in the clip, according to EW, that she believed their partnership on the team would be more of a “silent-partner investment.” However, it’s since become clear that her husband’s “real work wife is Matt.”
This left the daytime talk show host to ask her husband of 29 years, “And I am now the… what would you call me?” “We’re a throuple!” her husband quipped.
Running with the Wolves takes the couple on a journey with Campobasso FC. This Italian soccer team is known for its devoted fanbase and rich history.
The couple decides to purchase the team, and the series shows how deeply they become connected to the town, the team’s players, and its success. Consuelos spoke to ESPN about his experience as an owner and how it’s changed his and Kelly’s lives.
“This has been an incredible experience, but also a lot of pressure. Kelly will tell you how all-in I’ve been, from 3 a.m. calls with coaches to picking players and even meeting with fans face-to-face,” he explained.
“It’s given me a whole new appreciation for what it takes to run and grow a club. I played football growing up and in college, but this ownership role has completely changed my perspective. Alongside our partner Matt Rizzetta, we feel a real responsibility to this region and its fans to keep pushing the team forward,” Consuelos concluded.
Running with the Wolves is in four parts. It airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+.
