'I just felt like we’re not that interesting, and we’re not a very controversial couple. We don’t really get up to much. I always liken us to watching paint dry,' she said.
Ripa admitted her earlier assessment was wrong, and thinks there might be something relatable about the couple that is attracting more viewers.
'I do think that there is something very possibly relatable about our relationship,' Ripa admitted.
'We have disagreements like a normal couple, and we’re not afraid to let them unfold on the air and in front of America, and I think people find a lot of themselves in that,' she said.
