"I'm gonna tell you what the secret is," she said.
Consuelos asked her, "What's the secret?"
Ripa hysterically confessed, "You have to have wide feet; my feet are extremely wide."
"Yeah," her husband of 30 years quickly agreed.
'I'm Like Living in My Wrong Career Path'
Kelly Ripa said she did not know 'why' she was born with such 'wide feet' until now.
The longtime daytime host continued the joke by saying she may have chosen the wrong job altogether.
"And I didn't know why I was born with these wide feet. I never fall down. But I realized I'm meant to be a grape stomper...I'm like living in my wrong career path," she claimed.
Consuelos could not resist making a joke of his own about the supposed amount of space his wife's feet take up.
"Yeah, a lot of like cubic space," he teased.

Ripa is no stranger to poking fun at herself during the Live television show.
During the June 15 episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, Ripa made another funny confession about her "upper thighs."
She asked, "I don't know if there are women over 50 in the audience?" To which women in the audience applauded as they raised their hands. "Oh my gosh, so many of us! There is something that happens once you go over 50 that happens to our upper thighs that didn't happen before."
"It's like a clapping sound every time you sit down. Do you know what I'm talking about?" she said.
This time, her husband defended his wife, sharing that he'd never noticed the new "clapping sound." He went on to say, "You say you hear it, but I haven't really heard it. It doesn't sound like a clapping sound."
