Kelly Ripa’s daughter Lola gets very enthusiastic response upon return to $27 million family home
The LIVE with Kelly and Mark hosts also share sons Michael and Joaquin
Kelly Ripa’s entire family is seemingly back together! As the summer months roll by, and after a brief vacation in Switzerland, the TV star and her husband Mark Consuelos’ three kids are back home.
Michael and Joaquin Consuelos, their two sons, came home for the summer earlier this month, and now it’s time for their daughter Lola Consuelos to do the same.
Kelly and Mark share two dogs, Chewie and Lena, both of whom have cemented themselves as among the most adorable members of the Ripa-Consuelos clan.
Lola, 23, recently moved to London to spend more time with her boyfriend Cassius and to continue building her music career after spending a semester abroad there while studying at New York University.
Since 2021, Kelly and Mark have been empty nesters, with Michael now living in Brooklyn as he works with Bravo on the Real Housewives series while also sharpening his skills as a writer and actor. Joaquin, meanwhile, is a student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Kelly asked, “Do you think dad and I will be able to handle it when you kids are out of the house?” and Michael quipped in response: “She’s already adopted a dog, you’ve been preparing for an empty nest, I think you’ll be fine.”
He added: “My mom paces around the house holding Lena like a Bond villain,” and Kelly fully agreed. She joked: “There is something so wrong about my relationship with that dog.”
