Who needs superheroes in the skies when you could have Mark Consuelos’ abs flying high over New York City?
The Live cohost became the object of his spouse’s affections on Friday morning’s broadcast, perhaps more enthusiastically than in the past, as Kelly Ripa showed off her husband’s (steamy, revealing, shirtless, etc.) new photoshoot for Stuart Weitzman shoes — plus one alleged outtake in which a nearly naked Consuelos posed with only a thin shirt tied around his waist.
“I am happy to announce that Mark, yes, our Mark, Mark Consuelos, is the first-ever Stuart Weitzman men’s global brand ambassador,” Ripa said on the air, just before she showed off her husband’s figure in the photo campaign. “I got ahold of some of the photos from the photoshoot. Would you like to see? Believe it or not, this man is selling shoes. That’s right, shoes!”

The show then flashed a few photos from the project on screen, showing Consuelos wearing shoes, socks, and, uh, very little else.
“I was like, what? Are there shoes involved in this?” Ripa joked, before showing a photo of Consuelos sitting down wearing only footwear and tiny underwear. “Yes, shoes. Shoes and underpants!”

“Of course I thought I would show you my screensaver on my phone, which is a photo that wasn’t approved, but I think this unauthorized photo needs to be seen,” Ripa said, before tilting her phone screen toward the camera to show Consuelos almost in the nude, with the aforementioned shirt tied around his waist.
Consuelos also revealed that he kept some of the brand’s products, including a pair of boots he wore on the show that morning — and proved it by lifting his leg up to the table to show the studio audience.

Near the end of the broadcast, Monica Mangin joined the pair to discuss Black Friday deals on select products, and pointed out when Consuelos removed his footwear to get a rub-down from an automatic foot massager. “Oh, you even got those fancy boots off? Look at that, Mark!” Mangin exclaimed.

The campaign marks Consuelos’ first notable horny endeavor since winning PEOPLE’s Sexiest TV Host award earlier this year — though he and his wife consistently transform Live into a hotbed of sensual revelation each week.

Consuelos’ appearance in the Stuart Weitzman ad campaign caps a two-year stretch of steamy on-air moments for the couple, which also included a 2023 segment Ripa dedicated to “WikiFeet weirdos” that saw the spouses trading foot massages on camera.
The couple’s annual Halloween episode also reflected the recent uptick in sexy vibes, as their costumes involved everything from a new Inside Out emotion named “Libido” to Consuelos dressing up as Anthony Ammirati, a pole-vaulting athlete whose endowment swept the internet after his penis brushed the bar at the Olympics.
