Kelly RipaandMark Consueloshave a solid 27 years of marriage under their belt, but there’s one thing they’ll never agree on!
In an interview withEntertainment Tonight, theLive with Kelly and Markhosts revealed their surprisingly different recollections of their first kiss.
The pair first locked lips on-screen in 1996 while portraying theirAll My Childrencharacters Hayley Vaughan and Mateo Santos, respectively.
TheRiverdaleactor, 52, shared that he was “really surprised” about the kiss at the time because she “slipped the tongue.” However, Ripa, 52, adamantly denied his version of events.
“That is not true!” she protested, with a laugh. “That is alie.”
“It was the ’90s, so it was fast and loose,” Conseulos said with a smirk. “Big tongue.”

The actress continued to argue, insisting to her now-husband, “I never French [kiss] on set. That’s my own personal rule — no Frenching on set.”
The couple first met on the set ofAll My Childrenwhen Consuelos joined the soap opera in 1995 and began dating soon after. They tied the knot in May of 1996, and their characters followed in their footsteps with an on-screen wedding in 2000.
