Kelly Ripa says she and Mark Consuelos mess up ‘a lot’ with ‘RHOC’ star Tamra Judge and her husband Eddie
Kelly Ripa says she and her husband Mark Consuelos are often confused with “Real Housewives of Orange County” stars Tamra and Eddie Judge.
The talk show hosts, both 52, sat down with their Bravolebrity lookalikes during Friday’s episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark.”
“We get it wrong a lot, which I personally love,” Ripa told the audience.
Tamra agreed and revealed that some people had even ‘morphed’ photos of the two blonde beauties to prove their similarities.
In fact, she said, on a recent flight from New York to Orange County, a “drunk” man sitting next to her was convinced she was the “All My Children” alum.
“On the tarmac, he had three more drinks and he spilled them on me,” Tamra explained. “In the meantime, people come to ask for my photo. Then he said, “Who are you? And I say, ‘Oh, I’m nobody, I’m nobody.’

The 56-year-old continued: “And then I opened my phone because I was trying to ignore this guy, and there’s a picture of me and Eddie – Eddie had his shirt off, I was in swimsuit. And he says, “It’s Mark Consuelos! You’re Kelly Ripa!”
Tamra says she just smiled and nodded at the man before approaching a flight attendant to ask for a new seat.
“So I go up to the front and I say, ‘I can’t sit next to this guy.’ He’s so drunk,” the reality star explained. “The next thing you know, security comes, they’re taking him off the plane and he’s screaming down the aisle, ‘It’s your fault, Kelly Ripa!’ It’s your fault!'”
It turns out that Eddie, 50, was actually in the audience during the taping, prompting the show’s official Instagram account to share a photo of the couples standing side by side.
“Who’s who? 😂,” they captioned the film.
Yet Tamra isn’t the only celebrity Ripa is often confused with.
Last month, Becki Newton attended the morning show wearing the exact same pink ruffled dress as Ripa.
“Everyone says we look alike, but I just don’t see it,” the “Ugly Betty” star, 45, joked, noting that people stop her on the street “more often as Kelly than under Becki’s.”
“People fantasize in their minds that I look like you,” Ripa jokingly responded. “I know because I do it myself.”
Like Tamra, Newton joked that she lets people think she’s the daytime talk show host because she “don’t want to let them down.”
“I never know if I’m supposed to say, ‘No, no, no,’ because it gets really disappointing,” the “Lincoln Lawyer” star said. “So I smile a lot and say, ‘Thank you very much.'”
