These included a gorgeous picture of her posing alongside her dad on the beach. In the snapshot, Kelly looked stylish dressed in a neon orange bikini teamed with a green kaftan and oversized shades.

Their oldest son Michael lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn, while their youngest, Joaquin, is currently studying at the University of Michigan. 

The 21-year-old flew the nest in 2021, and recently Kelly and Mark opened up about the change to their family dynamics while chatting to People.

"It was deep, it was like a loss," Mark told the publication. Kelly added: "When Joaquin left, it was hard, the two of us and the dogs staring at each other, like 'Well, now what?'" 

"The first dinner I cooked, I'm not kidding, was for 12 people, and it was just the two of us. We sat there with this inordinate amount of food, neither one of us hungry at all."

Kelly and Mark now host Live! together

Luckily, Kelly and Mark are able to regularly go and visit their youngest son in his new home - where he is thriving. As well as studying drama, Joaquin is also on the University of Michigan wrestling team, and his famous parents often go to watch home games. 

Mark also told People that out of all their children, Joaquin is "a little reserved" and when it comes to watching his famous parents on Live, he likely wouldn't. 

"Joaquin's a little reserved. But he would turn it on. He's a drama student and he could turn it on for that hour, but I think he probably wouldn't want to do that," he explained.
