Snooze! Kelly Ripa revealed to Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday, Feb. 19, that she thinks her husband Mark Consuelos has narcolepsy.
Ripa, 44, explained how the family including their three kids, Michael, Joaquin, and Lola, recently went away to Turks and Caicos, away from the New York City cold. "It was so funny because our friends were texting us, like, 'Don't come home! My face hurts!'" she said of the freezing temperatures in the Big Apple.
While the kids went swimming and "looked for conch," mom and dad were up to other activities.
"I just sort of laid out," Ripa said of her vacation. "And Mark slept the entire time… He slept the entire time he was there."
Kimmel, who struggles with narcolepsy himself, then asked Ripa: "Is he exhausted in general?"
"I always say there's narcolepsy," Ripa responded, "but I call it Markolepsy because he falls asleep constantly."
The bubbly Live! With Kelly and Michael host then provided several examples of the strangest places her husband has ever fallen asleep. “Well, any awards show ever in the history of time," Ripa joked. "Even when he's been nominated. Like, out like a light… He fell asleep one year at Gelman's house, my executive producer Michael Gelman. Mark excused himself to the bathroom and he never came back."
Ripa, who feared that he was "horribly sick," instead found her husband, 43, "snoring" on the bathroom mat. "I said, 'What is with you?! You haven't even had anything to drink yet!'" she recalled. "He goes, 'That bath mat looked so cozy.'"
The actress also admitted to stalking celebrities during her chat on Jimmy Kimmel Live! "I will come up and take selfies with them," she noted. "People really avoid me at all costs." The one person she was most excited for was Madonna, whom Ripa met at a party last year.
