Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa’s children have grown up right before our eyes. Their daughter Lola Consuelos turned 24 on June 16, and to celebrate their Gemini girl, the couple shared a tearjerking Instagram montage full of baby photos, home videos, and a lot of love.
Mark and Kelly have never been shy about celebrating their kids, but Lola’s always held a special spot as the only daughter. The video includes precious moments of a newborn Lola to a grown-up young woman. It also gave a sweet look at Mark and Kelly two decades ago when they were young parents doing their best. “Another year lovelier! Happy birthday Lola , our favorite daughter,” they wrote in the caption.
Over the past few years, Lola’s gone from college student to aspiring singer, with full support from her parents. She had a viral moment singing Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” in 2024 and released her own single, “The Watcher,” in September.
What’s interesting is that Lola’s voice has seemingly come out of nowhere. Ripa explained in a 2022 interview that she and Mark have no musical talent. “She definitely is interested in you know, well, I guess showbiz is the record industry, but it’s like, we have no musical talent between the three of us,” Ripa told Access Hollywood, including her older brother Michael in the mix.
Lola has also found love with Cassius Kidston, and while her boyfriend stays out of the spotlight with a private Instagram and zero tags, they’ve been going strong, and it seems like they even live together.
The talk show duo has famously overshared about their empty-nester life, even joking that it’s a “total freak show.” “The first one is like a bit of a shock. Each one, the second one, is like, no big deal. Third one, for 24 to 48 hours, you’re going to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, what have we done now? Now it’s just us,'” Ripa said on the show in May. “And then your entire life becomes nudity in the household, wherever you want. Total freak show all the time.”
