The couple co-owns an Italian soccer team named the Campobasso Wolves.
In a preview for the project, Ripa and Consuelos could be heard playfully bickering as the blonde beauty sarcastically calls out her husband for spending too much time with someone new.
The silly moment occurred while Kelly was on FaceTime with her and Mark's daughter, Lola Consuelos, 24, as the chat was interrupted by Matt Rizzetta — a fellow co-owner of the Wolves.
"Oh shoot, this is Matt. I've got to go talk to Matt. I'll be right back," Mark informed Kelly and Lola, as the Hope & Faith actress joked to her daughter: "Dad has to talk to his other wife."

Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa Tease Their Marriage
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos star in a new docuseries 'Running With the Wolves.'
Kelly and Mark — who also share sons Michael, 28, and Joaquin, 22 — love to joke around with one another about their marriage, which has lasted nearly 30 years.
Just two months ago, the Riverdale actor joked around about finding a younger lady to date if he and Kelly were to ever breakup.
During an episode of Live With Kelly and Mark at the end of May, the longtime lovers were discussing a topic point about how men handle breakups worse than women because males "place more importance on romance and they experience greater mental and physical health benefits from being in a relationship."
Mark Consuelos started co-hosting 'Live' with his wife in April 2023,
The research prompted Kelly to tease Mark, stating, "I know if you and I broke up, you would absolutely fall apart, completely."
"That's true," Mark agreed, though he took a jab back at his wife by joking, "but I do feel like someone would be there on the other end just to pick me up and make sure I'm okay. Pretty sure."
"I'd have to get used to their college schedule and all that stuff," he quipped, as Kelly exclaimed: "Oh my God. Oh, dear God, I hope I live to see your second wife!"
