Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are enjoying life as empty nesters, but that doesn’t stop their kids from stealing the spotlight. On a recent episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the couple shared family vacation photos that delighted viewers. Their three children — Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22 — joined them for some summer relaxation on the tennis court and by the pool.
In one snapshot, Mark Consuelos’ son Joaquin stood out. Shirtless by the water, the 22-year-old looked like his father’s twin, both showing off their fit builds and strikingly similar features. Fans were quick to notice the resemblance, pointing out that the youngest member of the family seems to be taking after his famous dad in more ways than one.
Mark Consuelos’ Son Shares His Parents’ Spotlight
According to People, Ripa and Consuelos have often spoken about the shift to an empty house, but they keep their kids close in spirit. In February, the Riverdale actor joked on Jimmy Kimmel Live about using his children’s bathrooms now that they no longer live at home. “Because we paid for the house and I’ve never sat there, so I wanted to sit there,” he laughed, showing his trademark humor.
During a separate appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the couple revealed that their adult children don’t watch their morning show. However, Ripa recalled one exception: Mark Consuelos’ son Joaquin admitted he would tune in to Seth Meyers’ show — though not for his parents. “I’m not watching for you. I just naturally watch Seth,” he teased.
A Family Built On Humor And Bond
Despite the jokes, it’s clear that family remains at the center of everything Ripa and Consuelos do. They frequently celebrate milestones together, whether on vacation or at home. With Mark Consuelos’ son Joaquin now drawing attention for his uncanny resemblance to his father, the family bond seems stronger than ever.
The couple, who have been married nearly three decades, continue to charm audiences by blending personal anecdotes with relatable humor. Sharing these candid family moments reminds fans why they’ve remained beloved for so long.
