Kelly Ripa is getting as honest as it gets about what her husband Mark Consuelos was really like when they were about to welcome their children.

The star is not one to shy away from occasionally throwing her husband under the bus with her cheeky and candid comments, and her latest is no exception.

The longtime pair have been married since 1996, having eloped a year after they met and started dating on the set of All My Children. They share three kids together; Michael, 25, Lola, 21, and Joaquin, 19.

Kelly took to Instagram to hilariously air her grievances on Amanda Hirsch's Not Skinny But Not Fat official Instagram page, where she reshared a post from the Today Show asking what people's partners were really like while they gave birth.

"What is one thing that your partner did, said or brought to the hospital that really helped you through your birth experience?" the Instagram post read, citing an expecting dad as the man behind the query.

The star did not hold back

Talk about bad timing! And it didn't stop there. The morning show host doubled down, adding that another one was: "I'm going to the batting cages since you're going to be here a while."
