Kelly Ripa Says She And Mark Consuelos Are In A “One-Way Trolling Relationship” On ‘Live’: “I Love To Troll My Husband”
On Live with Kelly and Mark this morning, Kelly Ripa chewed out a trend among teen boys of “chewing facial fitness gum to get chiseled jawlines,” but only because regular gum will seemingly do the trick.
Sharing her amusement by the fad, she continued, “And let me tell you something. You don’t need facial fitness gum. You can just chew gum!”
Alongside Mark Consuelos, Ripa recalled her own experience with having to let go of gum.
“Because as you know, my dentist, years ago, made me quit gum because my jawline was becoming so developed,” she explained, “that he said, ‘Do you want to look like Mark?’ And I was like, ‘Well, I mean, Mark is handsome! I’d like to be a handsome woman!'”
However, her jaw — or as Consuelos put it, her “mandibles” — was becoming so developed that she ultimately made the decision to “quit the gum,” which she said was “hard” to do.
“It was my favorite thing to chew,” she added.
Consuelos chimed in, acknowledging that “there is tougher gum to chew.”

“Is that what this fitness gum is?” he asked.
Ripa replied, “I guess so, but I think all gum does the same thing. You chew it, and it develops your mandibles,” which elicited a chuckle from Consuelos.
She also issued a warning to avid gum enthusiasts in order to save them from the same facial fate.
“So just beware, gum chewers out there. You could wind up with a square head like me,” she joked.
