Mark Consuelos surprised Kelly Ripa with his on-air confession that he shared a ‘passionate kiss’ with a football fan over the weekend.
The LIVE With Kelly and Mark co-host, 53, admitted he gave a stranger a kiss while celebrating his soccer club Campobasso’s victory.
While speaking to audience members and Kelly, he revealed that he closed his eyes and kissed the fan (seen celebrating at the game).
Mark admitted he was so engrossed in the celebrations that he simply planted one in the fan.
He explained that after his team won, which was “a big deal,” he “ran toward our fans” and ran into the plexiglass barrier, which was up because wins “are very dramatic in Italian soccer.”
“In the adulation, in the celebration, on the field, when we found out the other team tied and we’re champions… we ran to our fans,” Mark said.
‘I’m running and I see this lady. Let’s call her my aunt… maybe someone else’s aunt. Not my aunt. Someone else’s aunt. And we look at each other and she’s very excited. And there’s this glass, and we get to the glass, and you know what? I kissed her.’
Meanwhile, Kelly didn’t believe his story and begged to see proof.
The mother-of-three, 53, added: ‘Do we have any pictures of this? Don’t we have images of it?
And since there was no camera evidence, Mark continued trying to convince his beloved wife that the moment really happened and that he wasn’t lying about the ‘passionate kiss.’

I put one on him. It was a kiss, but a passionate one,” she said before sharing a shocking detail.
“I actually closed my eyes,” he said before Kelly stepped in and said, “That’s not happening.” You never close your eyes!’
‘I closed my eyes and my back foot came up. I put one on it.
His wife replied: ‘That’s incredible. With your mouth open?
‘No no. It was like a kiss. “But he was passionate,” Mark insisted.
Meanwhile, Kelly began speculating about their “emotional affair.”
‘Did you have an emotional affair?’ Kelly said, causing Mark to quickly backtrack and add, ‘No. By the way, he could have been a boy. I don’t know.’
Kelly jokingly added, “Don’t try to save yourself now.” You’ve already branded this as someone’s aunt.
