Speaking with PEOPLE for the issue, Consuelos said he values “a sense of humor” when it comes to his relationship with Ripa, to whom he has been married for 23 years and shares three children: Michael, 22, Lola, 18, and Joaquin, 16.
“I would also say intelligence, but you already have to be smart to be funny,” said Consuelos.
