Have fun with their family! Kelly RipaAnd Mark Consuelos have welcomed three children since their 1996 marriage — and love cracking jokes about them.
Michael was born 1997. He became an elder brother when Lola came four years later. Joaquin followed Lola in 2003. Now theLive with Kelly and RyanHost and Riverdale stars’ brood is all grown up.
Ripa engages with her children via social media, even though the journalist is known for gushing about her children on her talk-show. In May 2018, the All My Children alum posted an Instagram Boomerang video riding an inflatable version of a mechanical bull, which her daughter said made her feel “extremely uncomfortable.”
“Then unfollow me,” the New Jersey native wrote back. She captioned a screenshot of the interaction: “She’s more of an @theellenshow fan,” referencing Ellen DeGeneres.
Ripa clapped again at Lola one year later. It all started when the Emmy winner posted a throwback pic of her husband hugging her, captioned, “#fbf 2007 Those hands.”
“Is the caption necessary?” the teenager asked with a face-palm emoji. Her mom’s response? “Gurl bye,” with a waving hand. When a commenter came to Ripa’s defense in the comments section, saying Lola was “jealous,” the three-time mom said, “No she’s just grossed out. That’s my daughter.”
Ripa and actor are not afraid to share their secrets about their relationship. “When there’s special married couple time in our house … he’s immediately mean to me afterwards, and I don’t like that!” the dancer said of sex with her husband in February 2017. “I think it’s bizarre. He becomes shorter with me. You see what I mean? Like, irritated. … You were so loving, like, three minutes ago.”
After Ripa apologized for the joke, Consuelos said, “I just wanted to set the record straight that no one can be mean after something if they are unconscious. I sleep.”
