Meghan Markle is sharing the special way she records all the mundane, yet special moments, in her children’s lives. While a guest of The Jamie Kern Lima Show earlier this week, Markle shared that after her two children, Archie and Lilibet, were born, she creates obscure email accounts for them that the public wouldn’t be […]
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have plenty to celebrate this time of year.
The longtime couple, who currently co-host “Live with Kelly and Mark” together, are just a few days away from celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary after tying the knot in Las Vegas on May 1, 1996.
But they had something else to celebrate first.

On April 28, Lola Consuelos — the pair’s middle child and only daughter — took to Instagram to share a photo dump of her and her boyfriend Cassius Kidston, 25, as they celebrated three years together.
“Another year of pure magic,” the 23-year-old wrote in the caption. “You’re heavenly.”
Ripa shared her stamp of approval with two red heart emojis in the comment section, while Mark Consuelos commented, “Congratulations,” with a string of party emojis.
According to E! News, Lola Consuelos and Kidston have been dating since 2022.
The post comes one week after Lola Consuelos accompanied her mother in an interview with People.
The “Divine Timing” singer joked about following in her parents’ footsteps by recreating one of their most iconic — yet “unnecessary,” as Lola Consuelos described it — photos of each other.
In the photo, Ripa is in a bathing suit bending over in front of Mark Consuelos, whose eyes were wide and jaw dropped.
"I'm going to say one thing right now. What if — POV — I post [this] with my boyfriend. What does Dad do?" Lola Consuelos asked Ripa, per People.
"Oh my gosh, that's a great idea," Ripa responded — describing it as her “favorite photo” she has ever taken. "We should recreate it and see!"
Lola Consuelos doubled down on her desire to recreate it, which she said would give her father a heart attack.
Ripa’s daughter jokes about eloping with her boyfriend
According to Ripa, there’s a limit to how far her daughter can go when following in her footsteps.
In their playful interview with People, Ripa opened up about eloping with her husband nearly three decades ago when the two got married in Las Vegas.
"We never had a day off of work, so it just seemed like the sensible thing to do," Ripa said of the decision.
Unfortunately for Lola Consuelos, recreating that moment with her boyfriend is off the table.
"We would literally die," Ripa said at the thought of her daughter getting married without her. "We would track her down and un-elope her!"
Lola Consuelos confirmed that outcome, adding that her parents “track my iPhone” and “would bring me back.”
Also in their interview with People, the mother-daughter duo open up about how much Mark Consuelos has “mellowed” over the years — especially when it comes to his daughter’s dating life.
"Growing up, he was actually frightening," Lola Consuelos said of her father. “I think it took a while for him to get over the fact that maybe there was another man in my life that wasn't my father anymore."
Ripa confirmed that sentiment.
"He did at one point practically believe that you should not date until you were 30 years old,” Ripa explains, “which I explained to him was a ridiculous thought process.”
Lola Consuelos still has a long way to go before turning 30, but she has her father’s blessing now.
“I think he obviously trusts the way that you've [both] raised me, and so I think he knows that I'll make the right decisions for myself,” Lola Consuelos told People.
“We love where he is now — super chilled. Chilled Mark is the best,” she added.
