Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos spent some quality time with their daughter on a recent trip to Greece, which was a sort of belated birthday and graduation present for Lola, who turned 22 on June 16.
During Wednesday’s episode of “Live With Kelly And Mark,” the married TV presenters spoke about the more memorable moments, some of which were captured in a series of snaps posted to their respective Instagram pages.
The couple, who share a similar travel style, like to avoid big crowds when on vacation and instead spend time in the great outdoors, like hiking.
After sharing a bit about her hikes along the beautiful landscape, Ripa made sure not to forget the “most beautiful part of the hike”, which was a beach full of naked people.
“Mark and I were doing this other hike on this island and we happened upon a nude beach,” explained the 53-year-old New Jersey native, adding, “And I don’t mean a topless beach, I do mine all naked.” , total nudity. And it’s always boys and it’s always… the wrong guys.’
Natural state: Kelly Ripa, 52, and husband Mark Consuelos, 52, opened up about their recent family vacation to Greece with their daughter Lola, during which they also stumbled upon a nude beach
Recalling the day they happened to hike to the nude beach, Consuelos recalled seeing a man “participating on a conference call, literally naked.”
Another memory the Riverdale actor took away from this experience was noticing all of the people lounging and playing in the sand in their natural state without wearing sunscreen.
Ripa seized the moment to show off her comedic timing, quickly adding, “A lot of burnt francs and beans,” she said during the episode.
And it turns out the pair may have sidestepped a potentially awkward moment on that beach as Consuelos turned to his wife to tell her he thought he recognized one of the nudists.
“Mark thought he saw someone he knew on the beach. He says, “Hey, I think I saw so-and-so” – I don’t want to upset him – He says, “Am I right?” I think, “I’m not turning around.”
Ripa and Consuelos decided to avoid talking to this person in all their nakedness and decided to mind their own business and keep walking to their next destination.
The “Live With Kelly And Mark” stars, who celebrated their 27th marriage anniversary on May 1, also opened up about their special time with Lola, which came more than a week after her birthday.
The trip to Greece also comes more than a month after celebrating Lola’s graduation from New York University, more specifically from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU Tisch.
