• Kelly Ripa joked that she and Mark Consuelos "settle" their problems through "sexy time."
• Consuelos joined his wife as cohost of "Live with Kelly and Ryan" for Monday's episode.
• During the episode, Ripa revealed that Consuelos is a very attentive husband in more ways than one.

Kelly Ripa hilariously revealed that she and husband Mark Consuelos deal with issues through "sexy time."

Consuelos joined his wife as cohost of "Live with Kelly and Ryan" for Monday's episode.

During the episode, Ripa began to explain that "everything" for her husband is "settled with-" before Consuelos cut her off.

"Love," the "Riverdale" star said, with Ripa adding, "Love and sexy time."

Ripa went on to explain that Consuelos prefers to "nip" problems "in the bud" through being intimate, and is very attentive when she's upset about something.

"'Oh, you're upset? I know how to take care of that.' 'Oh, you don't feel good about something? I'll take care of that.' 'Oh, you're feeling like maybe you're overworked? I got you. I know what you need,'" Ripa said Consuelos asks her when she's got something on her mind.

"Listen, that's how I deal with stress," Consuelos added.

The couple have been married for 25 years, after meeting on the set of "All My Children."

Ripa and Consuelos recently dropped off their youngest son, Joaquin, at college, and the "Live with Kelly and Ryan" host got candid about the moment in a conversation shared on the show's Instagram account.

"It was actually brutally painful," she told cohost Ryan Seacrest. "I gave him a hug and I said, 'I did not realize that 18 years would go so fast.'"
