'Kelly and Mark' host Mark Consuelos' hot-guy essentials
In honor of New York Fashion Week, Mark Consuelos asked his wife and co-host, Kelly Ripa, what she prefers to see him in most.
Her reply? “Absolutely nothing!” Anyone who watches “Live with Kelly and Mark” knows the two — who’ve been married for 27 years and are parents to Michael, 26, Lola, 22, and Joaquin, 20 — positively sizzle. “The key to our on- and off-screen chemistry is deep admiration, love and trust,” says Consuelos.
But when it comes to fashion, the former “Riverdale” star turns to another woman. Ashley Pruitt has been styling the actor for seven years, helping to create his signature look that often includes Canali, Tom Ford and Ralph Lauren.
“She knows what I’m thinking and is never afraid to correct me when I’m wrong,” shares Consuelos, 52. “She pushed me to wear a double-breasted Celine tuxedo at this year’s Oscars, which I wasn’t sure fit my style, but it’s now one of my favorite pieces.”
