Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' characters in "All My Children" had a lengthy on-screen relationship. In fact, when Ripa was shown Consuelos' picture before his audition, she had a vision that they would end up together, as the TV icon revealed on "Lunch with Bruce" in 2018 (via People). Many people probably weren't surprised when real life imitated reel life as Ripa and Consuelos fell in love offscreen too.
The sparks between the couple on the soap opera were immediately evident and chemistry like that was too strong to be denied. Although, at one point, the actors did try to deny it. The hosts of the "Comments by Celebs" podcast got Ripa to admit that she and Consuelos briefly split before they tied the knot. She stated, "We broke up, and we got back together the day before we went off and eloped."
Consuelos confirmed the break-up on an episode of "Watch What Happens Live," acknowledging that he was the one to make the move to win her back. According to the "Riverdale" alum, "When we were together, she wouldn't talk to me and that made me go crazy, so I followed her in Central Park, and then we went back to my place, and we got married the next day."
