While Ripa, 54, commented on Inaba's youthful glow, telling her, "You don't age," the dancer and choreographer insisted that it must have to do with her stress-free dating life.
"Singlism is probably why I'm not aging because I don't have a relationship," Inaba, 56, joked, saying that it's "very easy to manage life now and I get to kind of do whatever I want."
"You're dating yourself," Consuelos, 53, chimed in, to which Inaba agreed, before insisting, "I'm more than dating myself, I married myself."
But Inaba then revealed that her single life could eventually change, as she said she does have a "companion" right now, though she was very clear that he is "not a boyfriend."
"I highly suggest companionism," she said to the studio audience.
Ripa wanted to know if it was more like a "friends with benefits" situation, but Inaba maintained that it's really just "companionship," and that there's no "sexual relationship" between her and her companion.
"He's the person I call when I need somebody, and I'm the person he calls and it's really beautiful," she added.
