We all know Montreal is an adult entertainment capital.

From sultry burlesque shows to massive fetish-themed New Year’s Eve parties, Montreal’s nightlife scene—lively cabarets, the best LGBTQ+ bars and clubs and Magic Mike-style performances included—is anything but boring (just ask Busta Rhymes).

With 8 hotels recently ranked by MICHELIN, and luxury getaways in and around the city, Montreal is also a premier destination for indulgence.

So, when two Hollywood A-listers gave a nod to Montreal’s wild side, it came as absolutely no surprise.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the married co-hosts of ABC's LIVE with Kelly and Mark, made the revelation on air.

Consuelos kicked off the playful exchange, saying: "One of our kids, his nickname is 'Made in Montreal.' Great city."

Ripa added, "We won’t say which one, but it’s our youngest. Shout out to Montreal. We went away for our wedding anniversary—without the kids. Remember, your parents were like, 'Leave the kids with us,' and we said, 'Sure, we’ll go for two days. What could possibly happen?'"

With all the incredible things to do in and around the city, especially during the stunning fall season, the list of possibilities is endless.

Throw in some of Montreal’s most romantic restaurants, and some seriously kick ass date ideas, and Montreal’s sexy side—bird song-filled restaurant gardens and stunning rooftops included—is spicier than ever.
