Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos
It was a match made in soap opera heaven when Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos met on the set of “All My Children” 17 years ago, married in 1996, and went on to have three kids together. The couple chugged along playing equally well-known characters – and each other’s love interests -- on the show until everything changed in 2001 when Ripa was tapped to co-host Regis Philbin’s iconic morning show and shot to mega-stardom. Eleven years later, Ripa is still going strong on the show -- now dubbed “Live With Kelly” since Regis’ departure. Since departing from “Days,” Consuelos has starred ina few forgettable films, hosted soe short-lived reality shows, and has been ordained as a minister so he could marry Howard Stern and wife Beth Ostrosky in 2008.
