LIVE With Kelly & Mark star Kelly Ripa has taught everyone a lesson in remaining true to oneself.

Kelly passed up a getaway with her husband, Mark Consuelos, because they wouldn’t be able to stay long.

During Live’s opening segment on Tuesday’s episode, Kelly, 53, and Mark, 52, talked about his recent soccer game overseas.

The Riverdale alum plays for Italy’s Campobasso Football Club.

Mark revealed that he had a blast with his team in Italy, and partook in enjoying the country’s cuisine with his team.

He admitted to eating very little greens, instead indulging in “pizza, pasta, and beautiful croissants.”

The married couple’s daughter Lola, 22, accompanied her former soap opera star dad on his recent trip to Bel Paese; however, Kelly didn’t.

Although the Live Wire author was personally invited by her hubby.

Kelly disclosed that Mark had asked her if she wanted to “fly with him to Italy four 24 hours.”

Instead of accepting, she said: “‘I’m Kelly, have we met,’ no, I don’t want to fly to Italy for 24 hours.”

She added that she wanted to fly to Italy for “an extended vacation or for retirement.”

IT’S A NO FOR ME DAWG

Kelly seems to be able to refuse Mark when she sees fit.

In November, she blasted Mark for making a personal errand about him.

On a past show, Kelly talked about getting a mammogram.

They discussed how more men have come to the show since Mark joined as co-host.

Kelly told them to “not get too comfortable” because of the next topic they would do.

She said that a prostate exam is “child’s play” compared to getting a mammogram.

The Live host then went on to talk about her experience as a “flat-chested woman,” which she said is a lot harder when getting the test done.

At the end of her story, Mark spoke up.

“But, you did it,” he said.

“Yeah, of course,” Kelly responded.

‘I DON’T THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT’

Mark went on to say that it is important that she gets a mammogram every year.

“It’s so important to do it,” Kelly agreed.

At the end of the discussion, Mark said: “I’m glad you did it. It’s really really important. And keep doing it please.”

“Yes, don’t worry,” Kelly said, grabbing her husband’s arm.

“I only have to do it once a year.”

“Yeah. I’ll go with you next time,” Mark smiled as he put his paper on the desk and gave his wife his full attention.

“That’s OK. I can handle it,” Kelly told him as the crowd and crew cracked up.

“I want to see what this is about,” Mark ignored Kelly’s pleas.

“I don’t think you can handle it. And I don’t need you to make this about you too,” she said.

Mark said that he would like Kelly to come with him the next time he has to get a prostate exam.
