Kelly Ripa is no stranger to the spotlight, but when it comes to winding down after a busy day, she’s got a guilty pleasure that’s making her health tracker go haywire—and it’s not what you’d expect.

On Wednesday’s Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa revealed that watching the hit crime series MobLand, which stars Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, leaves her stressed out to the max.

“I’ve been watching this show called MobLand,” Ripa confessed, “and it’s so good, but it stresses me out so much that my health data on my Oura Ring basically tells me I’m having a heart attack as I’m watching it.”

MobLand’s Gripping Drama: Too Much for Ripa’s Heart Rate

For those who haven’t yet caught the show, MobLand is a Paramount+ crime drama that explores a gritty world of organized crime and moral dilemmas. With heavyweights like Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan taking center stage, it’s no surprise that Ripa’s nerves are on edge. But the impact it’s having on her sleep numbers is another story entirely.

“I will say that my sleep numbers are really affected,” Ripa continued, pointing out a direct correlation between watching the show before bed and the fluctuations in her heart rate, as tracked by her Oura Ring.

Ripa’s admission not only highlights her passion for the series but also offers a peek into just how intense the show’s drama can be. It seems MobLand is too good for her to take lightly, leaving her heart racing and her sleep disrupted.

Mark Consuelos Weighs In: “Murder Trials Put Her Right to Sleep”

Interestingly, her husband Mark Consuelos couldn’t help but add a humorous twist to Ripa’s over-the-top reaction.

“But listening to a murder trial is completely fine for you,” Consuelos joked, referencing Ripa’s penchant for crime podcasts, particularly the Karen Read trial.

To this, Ripa quickly agreed, quipping, “Murder trial puts me right to sleep.” Apparently, there’s something about real-life crime drama that calms her nerves, while a fictional mobster tale keeps her on the edge of her seat.

The Power of ‘MobLand’ and the Impact on Health

Though it may sound like an exaggeration, Ripa’s Oura Ring isn’t the only device tracking the toll MobLand is taking on her body. As the series airs new episodes every Sunday at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Paramount+, Ripa and Consuelos’ late-night habits are providing endless entertainment. However, it’s clear that MobLand has a very real impact on Ripa’s nightly routines.

The episode also provided a hilarious insight into how Ripa and Consuelos navigate their downtime. Consuelos shared that when they travel west, there’s no TV in their room, opting instead for podcasts like the true crime saga involving the Karen Read trial.

“You’ll have that on, or a Dateline special,” Consuelos explained. “It helps [Ripa] go to sleep.”

Health Tracker Insights and the Power of TV Dramas

The conversation between Ripa and Consuelos highlights how intense TV dramas—especially crime thrillers like MobLand—can not only captivate viewers but also affect their physical and emotional well-being. Whether it’s the gripping narrative or the chaotic world of mobsters and crime bosses, it seems MobLand is giving Ripa a serious dose of adrenaline, much more than she bargained for before bedtime.

But what does that mean for the future of Ripa’s sleep? Well, it seems she’ll have to find a better way to wind down after a night of binge-watching intense mob dramas, or at least make sure her Oura Ring is fully charged to keep up with her heart rate fluctuations.

The Power Couple’s Nighttime Rituals

Despite the stress caused by MobLand, Ripa and Consuelos’ evening habits paint a picture of a dynamic duo who manage to unwind together—whether through true crime podcasts, intense dramas, or playful banter about how much sleep (or lack thereof) they’re getting. Their camaraderie is evident, and it’s clear that their relationship thrives on shared moments—even if it means engaging in some light-hearted jabs on live TV.

Catch the Latest Episodes of MobLand

For now, Ripa will continue to be drawn into MobLand’s world of suspense and intrigue. As for her heart rate, it seems she might need a break from mob bosses to reclaim a more peaceful night’s sleep—unless, of course, she finds herself hooked on the next thrilling episode.

New episodes of MobLand drop Sundays at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Paramount+. But before you get too wrapped up in the mobster drama, just make sure your health tracker is ready to handle the excitement.
