Kelly Ripa has been hosting LIVE for over 20 years. Her real-life husband, Mark Consuelos, joined her as co-host after Ryan Seacrest left. She opened up about pressure to quit the talk show. Keep reading for all the details about the shocking situation.
Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos Sneak Into Daughter’s Singing Debut
Kelly Ripa’s love story with her husband is well-known. The two met while starring on the ABC soap All My Children in the 1990s. They eloped to Las Vegas, Nevada, after a year of dating. The couple went on to welcome three children: Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22.
Their daughter, Lola, moved to London, England, a few years ago after falling in love with the city during a semester abroad. She’s pursuing a music career. Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa’s daughter recently made her debut singing performance ahead of the release of her first EP. And she specifically banned her famous parents from attending.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos told LIVE viewers all about it earlier this week. “She was so nervous leading up to this thing. And we wanted to go, but we didn’t want to add any more pressure by us being there,” Mark said.
He added, “Told us not to go, so we thought we would sneak into London and just kind of be on the side, somewhere in the crowd. And the first part of the caper is we went and bought hats.” He compared the hats to those worn in the drama Peaky Blinders.
The couple did sneak into the performance. But their daughter quickly spotted them in the small room. Hello! magazine captured Lola embracing her parents.
Kelly Ripa Facing Pressure To Quit LIVE
Kelly Ripa told viewers that her daughter did “so good” in her first performance. Now that their three kids are out of the house and starting their adult lives, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are enjoying their time together. However, their daughter wants them to quit LIVE and move overseas with her.
“Lola is always trying to get us to move to London, as if we don’t work in New York. She’ll leave us these subtle hints when she’s home, when there is something on sale in London,” Kelly Ripa shared on the daytime talk show. She said that her daughter wants them to buy a “castle.”
The LIVE host joked that her daughter thinks her parents are richer than they are. “What I love the way she thinks of us [as] Bezoses,” Kelly Ripa quipped, referring to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos.
While her daughter is pressuring her to quit LIVE and move to London, Kelly Ripa is happy where she is, at least for now.
