Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos Recall Wedding Regret and Joke About Dating Apps

During a June 12 episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa said she still regrets not spending extra on flowers for her 1996 Las Vegas elopement with Mark Consuelos, noting the cheap $179 ceremony left her with an awkward photo of her hands.

Later, the couple playfully debated how they would fare on modern dating apps, joking that they might be matched together and referencing the infamous Ashley Madison breach. Ripa suggested they wouldn’t survive on a dating platform, while Consuelos admitted curiosity about the kind of “action” they might receive.
