Kelly Ripa considered having a fourth child: What sparked her baby fever?

Kelly Ripa's joy over pal Andy Cohen's newborn son sparked major baby fever for her -- so much so that she broached the subject of having another child with husband, Mark Consuelos!

During Monday's episode of "Live With Kelly and Ryan," which Cohen was co-hosting, the pair discussed Ripa visiting Cohen's son, Benjamin, who he welcomed via surrogate in February, with the rest of her family over the weekend.

"I was putting it out there for [Mark] last night," Ripa explained on Monday after showing viewers photos from their visit. "He was like, 'It’s all right. Let’s be grateful for what we have.' And then he put on 'Game of Thrones' and fell asleep, which was the anti-aphrodisiac."

Cohen backed up Ripa's story, adding that she's not his only female friend who found herself wanting to have another child as a result of spending time with Cohen's adorable son.

"He is causing women all over my life to start re-ovulating," he laughed. "Kelly came over, her body was responding in ways -- I was like, 'Whoa!' … I do have to calm the ladies down a little bit."

"He really does make me want to have another baby," Ripa responded. "He’s confused me into thinking [I want another]."

Ripa, 48, is already a mother to three children, who she shares with Consuelos, also 48: Michael, 21, Lola, 19, and Joaquin, 16.

Ripa and Cohen have been friends for several decades, and the "Live" host was integral in helping the "Watch What Happens Live" host prepare for his first child as a single father. Cohen, 50, revealed back in February that "Kelly Ripa helped me find my baby nurse," adding that she is "incredible."

Since welcoming his son, Cohen has been sharing a slew of cute snaps of baby Benjamin on his Instagram account, which you can see in the gallery below:
