Ripa and Consuelos joined Jimmy Kimmel Live in February and opened up about life with their three now-adult children outside of the house. The Nine Lives star revealed the one thing he does as an empty nester.
“[Their rooms are] pretty much preciously how they left them, but I’ve been going around and using their bathrooms,” he admitted to Kimmel. When the host asked why he was using his kids’ bathrooms, he responded, “Because we paid for the house and I’ve never sat there, so I wanted to sit there.”
After his explanation, Ripa jokingly added, “And, I, for one, am thankful.”
During an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the couple opened up about why they think people love their morning show, saying that people simply like “watching their parents fight.”
When host Seth Meyers asked the couple, who’ve been together for nearly three decades, if any of their adult children watch their talk show, both Ripa and Consuelos instantly replied, “No.”

“So people like to watch their parents fight, except for your children,” Meyers joked, which prompted Ripa to share the only reason their son Joaquin, will watch their appearance on the late-night show.
“Our youngest son — our youngest is 22 — and we asked him to come here tonight ’cause he was visiting us. He lives in Michigan, and he was visiting us. And I said, ‘Do you want to come see Seth tonight?’ And he goes, he goes, ‘No, no, no, I’ll … watch it on the show when it airs,’ ” she recalled.
“And I go, ‘Oh, you’re going to watch?’ And he goes, ‘Well, I watch Seth,’ ” she continued. “So he’s like, ‘I’m not watching for you. I’m just naturally watching Seth.'”
