Kelly Ripa seemed overjoyed to have her three kids all “back in the nest for a couple of weeks,” as she said in a gushing post on Instagram. Ripa had kids Michael, 25, Joaquin, 19 and Lola, 21 with her husband Mark Consuelos.

Ripa and Consuelos met in 1995 on the soap opera All My Children and eloped the following year. They’ve raised their children in Manhattan, New York, which makes sense given Ripa’s eventual longtime gig as the co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly alongside Regis Philbin, eventually becoming Live! with Kelly alongside Michael Strahan and now Ryan Seacrest.

Consuelos has continued acting with recent stints in shows like Riverdale and Only Murders In The Building. Ripa and Consuelos also operate the production company Milojo together which has produced several documentaries and reality series.

Ripa will also be touring next month for her book Live Wire Long-Winded Short Stories which fully releases on September 27.

As for their children, Michael’s Instagram calls himself an “Attempted director” and “aspiring actor,” Lola is a singer who recently released a single and Joaquin is a University of Michigan student studying theatre performance who is also signed to their wrestling team.
