Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ youngest son, Joaquin Consuelos, is branching out into brand new territory.
The 23-year-old actor, who recently wrapped his debut Broadway run in the Tony-winning revival of Death of a Salesman, is now making his modeling debut.
Joaquin took to social media to share that he was part of a new fall campaign by Burberry, featuring a collection of 170 portraits taken across four cities to celebrate 170 years of the luxury fashion house.
The youngest Consuelos sibling, who is repped by CAA, posed for his portrait in New York City (with other portraits coming from London, Shanghai and Seoul) dressed in a honey beige coat atop an off-white ribbed sweater, paired with charcoal gray slacks, a button down underneath, and a blue baseball cap.
Joaquin wore one of the brand’s newest pieces, the mid-length Camden Heritage Car Coat, which currently retails on Burberry for nearly $2300.
Of the brand’s newest collection of outerwear, it’s described as: “Introducing ‘170: The Anniversary Portraits’. Across four global cities, 170 individuals come together to celebrate 170 years of Burberry, each bringing their own perspective to ten signature styles.”
“Together, the portraits capture the enduring spirit of Burberry outerwear through the stories of those who wear it.”

It also took home Direction, Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play (Laurie Metcalf), Scenic Design, Lighting Design, and Sound Design. It was also a box office success for much of its run.
In fact, what made the show even more special for Joaquin was that he made his Broadway debut in the same season as his dad Mark, just weeks apart in fact. Mark played the male lead in the revival of the comedic play Fallen Angels.

And when asked about whether he’d do it again, he replied: “I really enjoyed this, and I’m already mourning it — I’m already sad that it’s going to be over. And now I want to do everything. I don’t want to limit myself.”
