Mark Consuelos says he'd stay married to keep dog Lena
Mark Consuelos said on 13 August that he would remain married to keep daily access to his dog Lena, after his wife Kelly Ripa mentioned a Pennsylvania bill that would treat pets as family members in divorce cases, during a segment of their morning show in New York City. Earlier on 11 August, the hosts joked about the proposed legislation, with Consuelos noting he would stay married solely to retain custody of their dog.
