A look that’s to die for.
Kelly Ripa forbid her husband, Mark Consuelos, from being “in charge” of dressing her for her funeral.
While the couple co-hosted their talk show, “Live with Kelly and Mark” Wednesday, they discussed a story about a woman who threw her own funeral while she was still alive.
Ripa told the audience what she understands why the woman did so, as she has several requirements for her own celebration of life.
She first turned to the show’s longtime producer, Michael Gelman, and told him that she’ll let him be in charge of throwing the funeral, noting that she expects him to fulfill all of her requests.
“It’s going to be a destination,” Ripa, 56, insisted.
Consuelos butted in and asked his wife, “Am I in charge of getting you dressed?”
The actress, however, immediately shot that idea down.
“No! If Gelman is throwing my funeral, my stylist is getting me dressed,” she shot back.
Ripa also revealed that she and Consuelos have “already discussed” that he “should never get [her] dressed for anything,” after he previously dressed her to go to the hospital when she was unconscious after passing out.
“Let me just say, I sailed in right past the gunshot victims because I looked so bad,” Ripa quipped, revealing that her husband put her in a green leotard, soccer pants, and high-heeled shoes to go to the emergency room.
“Just to be clear, I’m not in charge of getting you ready for the funeral? I’m not in charge of that?” Consuelos clarified.
“Put everybody in charge of what they’re typically in charge of,” Ripa confirmed. “Everybody has their typical jobs. You be there, you eulogize, say nice things.”
The pair are known to playfully butt heads sometimes while on air.
Last year, they got into a heated exchange after Ripa proposed they get an “airport divorce,” meaning they would go their separate ways while traveling.
Consuelos appeared to get upset after Ripa said he gets irritated when fans approach them at the airport.
“I’d like to hear more about this airport divorce,” he quipped, to which Ripa replied, “Well, we’re definitely getting one now.”
