Kelly Ripa admitted she is not the romantic type.

At one point during the episode, Ripa brought up a study that claims men "crave romantic relationships way more than women do," which she found "not surprising" while relating the research back to her and Consuelos' marriage.

"When I think of who is romantic between us, I would say you are. Do you agree?" Ripa asked her husband, who laughed as he replied: "I do agree."

Aware she's a "non-romantic," the mom-of-three — who share kids Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 22, with Consuelos — said she has to "really focus" when it comes time to show that kind of affection to her partner.

"I'm like, 'Hey, sweetie,'" the Riverdale actor said sweetly before switching into a more macho tone as he mocked Ripa.

"You’re like, ‘Hey, what’s up,'" he quipped, deepening his voice.
