“I don’t know about you in your marriage, but I’m going to go personal. Are you an evening person or a morning person?” Ripa asked host Amanda Hirsch on the latest episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast.

“Definitely not morning. Don’t breathe on me in the morning,” Hirsch replied.

This is when 54-year-old Ripa quipped, “Men are morning people. He’ll never learn. He’s a guy.” But Kelly revealed when the two began working together, the “Riverdale” star had to change his ways, “I said to him, ‘Here’s the thing. There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can’t always be your way. ‘Cause it feels like 90% of the time it’s your way. And now that we work together every day, it’s gonna have to sometimes be my way, and my way’s at night only.”

In fact, the talk show host admitted they don’t have sex every morning anymore and it’s a secret benefit to working with her husband.

“The greatest thing about this job, this thing has like, almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week. Which is like a miracle,” she jokes.

Then the two women got to talking about morning kisses, how Mark loves to kiss Kelly in the morning, which she’s not a fan of either.

“I have a retainer in. I gotta rip that out. And he’s got his nasal strips on. It’s like we are the most repulsive, disgusting people.”

The ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’ host continues, “May this show last until he suffers from erectile dysfunction. He’s in his mid-50’s now. Shouldn’t that be happening now? I was promised!”Kelly and Mark met in 1994 at his screen test for “All My Children.”
