Kelly Ripa may have all adult children, but she manages to maintain a youthful glow.
Yet, at 51, her oldest son is currently 24 years old, as of this writing.
Nevertheless, it’s evident that bothRipa and Consuelos make it workwhen it comes to marriage and family.
(It was then called “Live!
With Regis and Kelly.")
Her youngest son, Joaquin, was born in 2003 (viaUs Weekly).
“They came on when I first got here, and I was pregnant.
They come back on, and I’m still pregnant.
They must think I have the gestational period of an elephant!”
Originally, she and Consuelos had agreed to name their firstborn son Joaquin.
“Michael was supposed to be named Joaquin.
“We lost them before they got a chance to meet Michael.
We named Michael after both of his grandfathers.”
I used to see in color and now everything is gray!”
The story of how Lola was named is equally intriguing, though much less cringy.
According toET, dropping off her son for college was “actually brutally painful” for Ripa.
And he didn’t say anything.
He was just giving me a hug,” Ripa explained.
“He turned to walk away and I said, ‘Wait, Joaquin, one more!’
And he kept walking.
And I knew that it was happening to him too, the emotion.”
After Ryan complied, Ripa blurted out, “Zero, zero baseball games.”
