People Magazine received an exclusive preview of of Kelly’s upcoming podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa.
The podcast is set to drop on March 22, wherever podcasts are available.
Some guests will include Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Carol Burnett and Matthew McConaughey.
In the preview, Mark talked about whether or not he would ever have more children.
Kelly, 52, asked him if something ever happened to her or they got divorced, would he remarry?
He answered no, and one of the major reasons for that is because he doesn’t want anymore children.
The 51-year-old explained: “I don’t want more kids. I’ll be an older dad.”
“Do you know how many dads I know older than you that were just starting to have kids?” Kelly asked.
Mark went on: “Yeah. And those poor bastards have no idea, because what happens next? You’re talking about hip replacements, knee replacements, and they’re gonna be that dad, not there’s anything wrong with that dad.”
“But I did it early. I didn’t plan it that way. It just happened. And we got really lucky that’s what we did when we did it.”
Mark then revealed that despite not wanting more kids, he would love to be a grandfather.
“I thought it was too early. We should have had like a good year or two years just to ourselves. But no, I think that I’m looking forward to being a grandfather,” he said.
“I’m really looking forward to that. That’s about as much parenting as I want.”
Mark and Kelly got married in 1996 and share three children together- Michael, 25, Lola, 21, and Joaquin, 20.
LIVE AND MARRIAGE
Last month, Kelly opened up about the new phase in their marriage, as Mark is set to replace Ryan Seacrest on Live.
She took to Instagram to say goodbye to Ryan as her daily co-host.
In a snap that the 52-year-old actress shared on social media, she was pictured in between the American Idol host and her love on a couch on the Live! set.
Kelly was dressed up like the character Lucy from the hit 1950s TV series I Love Lucy, Ryan was dressed as another character, and Mark was dressed Ricky Ricardo.
The set that the three were on appeared to be designed similarly to a 1950s home.
The former soap opera star wrote a heartfelt message to her 48-year-old longtime co-host in the caption of her nostalgic post.
“OK NOW we’re empty nesters. When your friends become work mates become family.
“Congratulations Ryan Seacrest on surviving six winters in NYC! I’m proud of you and am forever in your corner.”
She also gave a shout-out to her 51-year-old spouse, admitting that co-hosting together on the show does impact a certain aspect of their marriage.
“And Mark, welcome home, or to the contractual obligation phase of our relationship.”
TMI!
Although Kelly and Mark don’t appear to be having anymore children, that didn’t stop Kelly from talking about their “freaky sex life” on live TV.
The star seemingly forgot cameras were still rolling as she made the shocking confession to her co-host for the day, Deja Vu.
During a February episode of Live!, Kelly was reading an article about Yolanda Vega.
As she skimmed the piece, she shared a few tidbits, saying in part: “She travels a lot. She stays at hotels. She prefers hotels to staying in someone’s home, which I prefer also.
“I always take the hotel option when it comes to like, ‘stay with us.’ I’m like, ‘No, no, no. We’ll get a hotel.’”
Kelly continued: “Because I know how freaky Mark and I like to get – same as you and hubbylish – so when given the stay-at-the-home option, I’m like, ‘No, you guys are not cut out for it.’ Nobody needs to know what goes on.”
She went on to joke: “We want them to still love us and respect us.”
