There is no denying Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' luxury townhouse in NY is nothing short of incredible. But it appears a $27 million pricetag doesn't buy perfection.
In a new interview with digital lifestyle magazine, Mr. Feelgood, Mark gave insight into their Upper Eastside property and a worrying secret inside.
It was while opening up about his fear of enclosed spaces, when he made the revelation about the home he shares with his wife.
"I'm claustrophobic," he confessed. "I found out when I was about 38 years old. I went scuba diving and I had a panic attack 30 or 40 feet down. That was weird."
Mark continued: "Then when I started going into elevators, I started feeling the same sensation. And I started getting it on plane journeys — I'd flown all my life and then it kicked in.

The Riverdale actor then confessed to a big challenge he faces inside their home. "We have an elevator in our townhouse and I have a little stash where I keep some anti-anxiety medication just in case I get stuck. I haven’t been stuck yet, but people have been stuck in that elevator."

They're now empty-nesters with all three of their children, Joaquin, Lola and Michael having left home. But they appear to be reveling in their new life as they now also host their show Live with Kelly and Mark together too.

"She definitely challenges me in the best possible ways," he said of Kelly - who he has been married to for 27 years. “I’m just crazy about her when I look at her. Something happens. That was the initial thing — I can’t not be with this person."

And I love the fact that as we go on, especially as it's been 27 years now, the chapters in the book of our love story are just so different. Every chapter is so unique and we have so many great memories.
"Even though I know I’m highly annoying and she is extremely patient. I would say that’s definitely a big factor in our relationship — her patience."
