Ripa and Consuelos married in 1996 and share kids Lola, Michael and Joaquin
Even as Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ children have grown up, the family of five is still as tight-knit as ever.
The Live talk show hosts have been married since 1996, and the couple share three adult children: Michael, born in 1997, Lola, born in 2001, and Joaquin, born in 2003. After sending their youngest, Joaquin, off to college, Consuelos and Ripa became empty nesters. But when they do reunite under one roof again, Ripa makes sure to cherish the moment.
“It sure was nice having the chickens back in the nest for a couple of weeks. Back to life…..back to reality ♥️♥️♥️🥺#summer#vibes,” she wrote under an Instagram post of her three kids.
As the All My Children alum turns 54 on Oct. 2, 2024, today, take a look at some of her family’s cutest photos over the years.
