There will be no flowers and a box of chocolate waiting forWendi McLendon-Coveycome February 14.
During an appearance onLive with Kelly and Ryanon Tuesday, McLendon-Covey revealed that she does not celebrate Valentine’s day with her husband Greg Covey — in fact, in 25 years of marriage, they’ve never once participated in the holiday.
“Listen, I’ve been married 25 years, just like [Ripa],” she said. “And here we are 25 years later, not celebrating Valentine’s Day, which is the key to a lasting marriage.”
McLendon-Covey said her 2022 Valentine’s agenda will include some self-care — and will be separate from whatever plans Greg may have for himself.
“There is nothing in Valentine’s Day that you need to be a part of. It is a bust at our house,” she said. “I’m probably going to do sheet masks and he can do what he wants.”
“I don’t need anything — whatever, I sound like a real shrew,” she joked.
But the actress did reveal a holiday that she goes all-in on: “St. Patrick’s Day, I go off. That’s my husband’s birthday.”

McLendon-Covey’s aversion to Valentine’s Day is nothing new. In 2016, shetold PEOPLEthat rather than celebrate their love one day a year, she and Greg make a point to appreciate each other on a daily basis.
She continued: “He makes my breakfast every day. We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day because what’s the point? Every day is pretty good, you know?”
During Tuesday’s episode, McLendon-Covey also joked about yet another major celebration she plans to skip out on. When Seacrest playfully invited Greg to his house for Valentine’s Day dinner, she suggested that the two should also watch the Super Bowl together.
“I don’t even know who’s playing. I didn’t realize it was this weekend and I’m trying to make plans with people,” McLendon-Covey said. “They’re like, ‘You’re not coming to our Super Bowl party?’ No, I’m not.”
