Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have three children. They often talk about their kids, as well as their marriage, on LIVE. However, the couple’s daughter probably wasn’t expecting them to call out her messy behavior on live television. Her mom threatened to further expose the behavior with video proof if she didn’t clean up her act. Keep reading for all the details on the family drama.
Kelly Ripa & Husband Empty Nesters
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on May 1. The former soap stars eloped to Las Vegas in 1996 after meeting on the set of All My Children. Their first son, Michael, was born a year later. They welcomed their only daughter, Lola, in 2001. Their second son, Joaquin, arrived in 2003 and graduated from the University of Michigan last year. He made his Broadway debut in April, playing young Biff in Death of a Salesman.
The couple’s oldest son also has a career in entertainment. He played the younger version of his father’s character on Riverdale. He reportedly lives in Brooklyn.
All three of their children have left home. Their daughter, Lola, moved to London, England, after graduating from New York University. She is pursuing a music career.
LIVE Host Threatens To Expose Daughter’s Messy Behavior
Lola, 24, recently visited her parents in New York City. Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa still live in a $24 million, five-story townhouse on the Upper East Side, despite their children moving out.
On Wednesday’s episode of LIVE with Kelly and Mark, the hosts put their daughter’s personal business on display. Kelly Ripa said it was “wild” what was happening in her daughter’s room in their home. “I kept hoping that she would, at some point, go into her closet and take some of that with [her] or donate it.”
Mark Consuelos recalled reminding his daughter that someday, she would have a family and would need to keep things tidy. “You’re going to be responsible for younger people, theoretically, at some point. So, you need to get this under control, or you’re gonna raise a bunch of [kids who do] this,” he told his young daughter.
The parents of three said that the messy behavior is new for their daughter. Kelly Ripa revealed that Lola won the Cleanest Camper award for three years in a row. “The teachers in school had [her] organize other kids’ desks and closets because [she was] the cleanest student,” she said before wondering what happened.
The talk show hosts jokingly threatened to air a video of the messy room if Lola Consuelos doesn’t clean it soon. The segment about their daughter’s messy behavior was just idle chitchat to keep the audience engaged. But tell us in the comments if you can relate to the struggle of getting your kids to clean up after themselves at any age.
