Mark Consuelos is despairing at the chance to win back-to-back titles during the 2025 sexy man’s living season.
On the September 26 episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, the talk show host, 54-year-old responded to the competition in the category of sexy football club owners in the annual reader choice poll. The owner of Campobasso FC, who won the sexy talk show host in a reader’s choice poll last year, faces Tom Brady (Birmingham City FC), Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mack (Welkham AFC) and David Beckham (Intermiami CF).
When his wife and co-host Kelly Lipa read out finalist Beckham, 50, Consuelos admitted “Goodbye, marquee mark.”
“We have finally found someone who can slap his dignified podium, which has been won all the time,” said Lipa, 54.
The three fathers suggested that they could use the talk show platform to win him, but Lipa retorted, “As far as I’m concerned, Beckham doesn’t have to talk.”
Consuelos then said to the retired soccer star, “David! Let me win this. David! Bex!”
But even he knows it could be a long shot: “If I lose to someone, it has to become David Beckham.”

Later on the show, the two brought in fellow talk show hosts (and former sexy talk show host rivals) Jimmy Fallon to chat about the Consuelos category.
“There’s no doubt, you got this. This is your victory. Beckham?” Fallon, 51, said he dismissed the football star with waves. “Beckham should bow in respect for the competition.”
The former Four plotted as if they were teaming up, and Consuelos asked Fallon if he could use his writing team to create anti-Beckham campaign ads.
“He’s got enough awards. What does he want?” Fallon said. “We’ll talk to (his wife) Victoria.”
Lipa added, “He is married to Victoria for God. What more does this man want?”

Last year, competition was escalating between Consuelos and the hosts of The Tonight Show. Consuelos and his family threw support behind Fallon, but Live With Kelly and Mark’s hosts won the poll.
In fake beef, Consuelos revealed a pair that exchanged “a lot of text” about Fallon’s “hatchet job.”
After the victory, Lipa asked her husband if he felt “sexy” with his new title.
“No, I feel the exact same thing… If you become a dad, you really… you see yourself through the eyes of your child, and I think it’s time for sexy to just disappear,” he replied.
