Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' daughter Lola celebrated her boyfriend's birthday on July 10 with a heartfelt social media post.
The 25-year-old took to Instagram to share a sweet illustration of the pair inspired by a photograph of them perched on a rock in the middle of a lake. Lola looked radiant in a turquoise bikini while her partner, Cassius, wore pink swimming shorts.
"Happy birthday to my love in every lifetime. My sweet Cassius, with the biggest heart, the best smile, and the coolest dance moves. I LOVE our love. You’re forever my angel on this earth. I won the lottery with you. Thank you universe for bringing me my best friend!!!!!! The invisible string theory is a real thing!!!!" Lola penned in the caption.

The couple met at New York University, and Cassius first appeared on Lola's Instagram around 2022, one year before she graduated from NYU. It wasn't until 2023, however, that she confirmed their relationship, and has since then shared several photos with her boyfriend, including on vacation with her family.
Lola and Cassius reside in London, with Kelly and Mark's daughter pursuing a career as a singer and Cassius working as a Sports Talent Sales Assistant at Creative Arts Agency (CAA). He was born in 1999 to Simon and Rosie Kidston, the former being the founder of Kidston Motor Cars.

The image captured Cassius lifting Lola into his arms as they shared a kiss, framed by a breathtaking mountain backdrop mid-hike. In the caption, she penned: "Another year of pure magic, you're heavenly."
The couple's respected families even gathered together to celebrate Thanksgiving last year. Kelly and Mark discussed meeting their future in-laws during an episode of LIVE at the time.
"Our daughter's boyfriend's parents came over for dinner," shared Mark. "I like them so much, they're not our in-laws, but they're my daughter's boyfriend's parents."

"Rosie is divine, she's so funny, and has great energy," added Mark. "But they are six and a half feet tall."
