- Kelly Ripa posted a photo on Instagram of her and husband Mark Consuelos' three kids, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.
- Ripa is happy to have her chickens back in the nest before the summer ends.
- The brothers and sister are beaming in front of a pool and bright blue sky for total #summervibes.
Three kids means three busy schedules to coordinate, never mind when mom and dad happen to be all-star TV host Kelly Ripa and actor Mark Consuelos. But Michael, Lola, and Joaquin Consuelos were able to make it work and spend time together as a family for the last few weeks of summer — and Kelly captured the adorable moment on Instagram.
"It sure was nice having the chickens back in the nest for a couple of weeks," she wrote. Mama bird missed her kiddos. And so did Mark, who commented, "Love those chickens." The adoring comments rolled in, especially from fans:
- "Good genetics here."
- "Beautiful family."
- "They are stunning! Glad you enjoyed your time with them!!"
The three siblings have their arms around each other, all smiles, with the eldest Michael and youngest Joaquin in trendy shades while middle-child Lola has perfect beach-wave hair. While the specific locale of this poolside family day is unclear, the clear skies and hilltop gazebo suggest an ideal spot to hang before summer is over.
Kelly adds at the end of her caption, "Back to life…..back to reality ♥️♥️♥️🥺#summer #vibes." And what's reality for the Kelly and Marsk family? Well, both parents and their children definitely stay busy — hence why this group pic is a rare find.
Kelly, the longtime Live with Kelly and Ryan co-host, has been juggling more than a few projects of late. She's filming her new ABC trivia show, Generation Gap, as well as prepping for a tour about her new book Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories (to be released on September 27, 2022). Fans definitely notice when Ripa is MIA from Live, but the actress needs quality time with her husband and children just like the rest of us.
Their three kids are just as busy, always making their mom and dad proud. Like his parents, Michael has delved his toes in the directing, writing, and acting industries, currently playing the younger version of his father's character Hiram Lodge in Riverdale. Lola, who graduated from New York University in 2019, is pursuing a career in music, and you can listen to her latest single "Paranoia Silverlining" now. Youngest Joaquin attends University of Michigan where he is part of their wrestling program.
Kelly and Mark are Hollywood's beloved long-term couple, having met as on the set of All My Children and eventually tying the Knot in 1996. Despite the hustle and bustle of every day work, from balancing their separate careers with their production company Milojo, Kelly and Mark still finds ways to come together with all *their* children.
