Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos kicked off their morning in full married-couple chaos — and fortunately, Live‘s studio audience was laughing with the couple and not at them.
Ripa arrived in style for the Tuesday, December 9, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, which is why it was hard to believe when the blonde beauty revealed she barely made it to set on time.
Sporting a long-sleeved, light-blue blouse with a tie-front detail, Ripa was smiling through the stress as her husband and co-host gave her his stamp of approval after checking her out upon sitting down for the show.

Consuelos — who was dressed casually in an olive green shirt, navy zip jacket and dark-wash jeans — couldn’t help but tease his wife as she continued getting ready after the cameras were already rolling.
As the pair sat down at their studio desk, Ripa immediately began adjusting her pants and making sure her shirt was properly tucked into her navy blue trousers.
“Are you still getting dressed?” Consuelos asked, clearly amused.

Kelly Ripa said her outfit was ‘missing a lot of things.’
“I’m missing a lot of things,” she laughed, though Consuelos assured her, “It looks good!”
Ripa gave herself one last once-over and realized she forgot to put on her belt, but decided to not let the morning’s messy start impact her mood.
“Look, it’s fine. We’re all together. I think my fly is up. We’re fine,” she confessed while pulling the zipper of her pants closed.
“We made it,” Consuelos chuckled, with Ripa echoing, “Somehow, we made it.”
