Kelly Ripa Shares What She Knows About Husband Mark Consuelos’ Top Secret ‘Scream 7’ Role

 

Kelly Ripa is giving fans a playful peek into what life is like at home with her husband, actor Mark Consuelos — especially now that he’s starring in the highly anticipated horror movie Scream 7. But despite being married for nearly three decades, Ripa admits she still knows almost nothing about his mysterious new role in the film.

The seasoned TV host spoke candidly — and humorously — about trying to get details from her husband about his character, Robbie Rivers, in Scream 7 during a recent interview. Consuelos has kept everything under wraps, respecting the strict non-disclosure agreements that come with working on major Hollywood productions. Ripa says her attempts to extract spoilers usually end in laughter, and she jokingly suggests he might even be the killer in the movie, although she clearly has no real insight.

“It’s all top secret,” Ripa shared, emphasising that Consuelos tells her nothing about the project, no matter how much she tries to guess. Her comments underline just how tight Hollywood sets can be when it comes to keeping plot twists and character details strictly confidential before a film’s release.

Despite the secrecy, Consuelos has hinted that the role means a lot to him — not just as an actor but as a father. The Riverdale star explained that his eldest son, Michael, who’s a big fan of the Scream franchise, is particularly thrilled about his father’s involvement in the movie. Consuelos plans to create a keepsake version of the script for his son once the film debuts so he can relive the experience after seeing the finished project.

Scream 7 is shaping up to be an exciting continuation of the iconic horror franchise, with both new and familiar faces set to appear. Alongside Consuelos, the film brings back beloved stars such as Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, with David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley also returning to roles tied to the franchise’s legacy.

As Ripa battles her own curiosity about the film, she’s also juggling her busy life as co-host of Live With Kelly & Mark, alongside her family commitments. Although she rose to fame as an actress herself, Ripa has largely stepped back from acting to focus on her talk show and being present for her three adult children. This year alone, she’s spoken about how teaming up with her husband on television has been a joy, even if it means constantly trying to unravel his Hollywood secrets.

Fans have loved Ripa’s light-hearted reactions to Consuelos’ secretive behaviour, especially when she jokingly speculates about his character’s fate — or whether he might even be playing the role of the killer ghostface. Her playful energy has become a highlight for viewers tuning into Live With Kelly & Mark, keeping audiences entertained both on and off screen as they await more details about Scream 7.

With Scream 7 set for release in early 2026, speculation will only grow, and in the meantime fans will likely continue to enjoy Kelly Ripa’s curious — and humorous — attempts to get her husband to spill the beans.
