Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary in February 2025, but that’s not all they have to be thankful for.
The Live with Kelly and Mark hosts 53 and 52 respectively, have raised three children together, Michael, 27, Joaquin, 21, and their daughter, Lola, 23, and as the famous couple continue to make headlines, there’s another star emerging from their household.

However Kelly admitted in the past that she wished Lola was actually studying further from their home in the Big Apple.
"College is where you start establishing yourself as an independent person," she said during an interview on On Air With Ryan Seacrest. "I treat it like long-distance. My main concern was, 'I don’t know if you should be this close to home because I don’t want you using home like it’s your home. I want this to be your experience.'"
Close to home or not, Lola certainly has talent and has shared impressive videos of her sensational singing voice.
Lola in London
Lola relocated to London in 2024 after falling in love with the city during a semester abroad.

In the caption, she simply wrote: "Hello Lundon." Fans were quick to comment on the post, with many telling her how much they loved her style, in particular, her jacket and mini skirt combo. "I LOVE that outfit," one wrote, while another remarked: "Your outfit is amazing." A third added: "You look so great, cute outfit."

Music fan
Since 2022, Lola has been releasing singles more frequently, sharing her evolving musical sound with fans.
Lola has released four singles over the past couple of years, but no album, and her social media followers – plus her very vocal mother – are more than ready for her music.
Lola dropped her first single "Paranoia Silverlining" in 2022.
"I've been making music since I was 14," she told People. "But I never really had anything that I thought was legitimate to write about. The single explores the idea that our worst fears might not even be real, which fans thought of as both poetic and painfully relatable."
Lola's close relationship with her parents

Now Lola is older they have remained close, but there may just be a favorite parent in their household, and Kelly says it isn’t her.
"Mark's the favorite parent," she revealed to former co-host, Ryan Seacrest, adding that because Mark is away from home so much, she is the one normally imposing the rules.

“First of all, this is the first time the kids have lived with him for an extended period of time. So maybe by the end of the lockdown, we will be equal," said Kelly.
"But for years I was the one who took them to be vaccinated, I was the one who made them do their homework. I was the one who gave them cod liver oil before they made the delicious little supplements."

Lola's social media
Lola had to wait until she was an adult to get her Instagram page - per her parents’ instructions - which quickly became so popular she earned more than 298,000 followers.

Lola even once went as far as to brand Kelly’s shirtless "thirst trap" pictures of Mark, "disgusting".
But one thing Lola will not do is engage with the haters.

When the talk show host said that’s why people follow her, Lola replied: "I understand. But I just don't even think you should give them the time of day. I mean these people are sitting at home wishing they were you."
Lola in love
Lola dated longtime boyfriend, Tarek Fahmy for several years, through high school and into college. "Happy birthday to my best friend in the whole entire world. 20!!!!" she wrote in 2019. "My whole heart. No one compares to you! You make me so, so proud. I love you more."
The pair later split, and she is now dating a Brit, Cassius Kidston.

"Happy birthday to the chicest of the chic!" commented Kelly, sharing her support for their partnership.
