There are many celebrities whose kids become social media stars as their photos are uploaded on the social media networks such as Instagram, Facebook, etc. However, some celebs want their children to have a normal childhood, far away from the glitz of the showbiz.
Kelly Ripa, the American actress, dancer and co-host of talk show Live with Kelly and Ryan, is also one of those celebrities who have kept her kids away from the spotlight. Kelly is married to actor Mark Consuelos and they both are proud parents of three kids - Michael Joseph Consuelos, Lola Grace Consuelos and Joaquin Antonio Consuelos.
Kelly and Mark made sure that the childhood of their kids is not affected because of the celebrity status of their parents. For almost a decade, people did not get to see much of these three kids in view of the fact that they attended very less events with their parents.

The good thing is that the situation is changing now and we will get to see a lot more of these youngsters as Kelly is getting active on social media network, especially Instagram. The mother of three is posting not just recent photos but the old photos of the kids as well.

Lola is the middle child as she was born in 2001 and very soon, she is going to turn 17. However, she looked all grown up when recently she was seen in a photo which was taken before her prom night.

Lola does not like that her mom posts her photo on Instagram so Kelly asked her a question to Lola on her talk show as to why she is robbing her of the privilege of posting her kids’ photos on social media while some parents do it immediately after clicking.

Lola may have earlier asked her mom not to post her photos but this time she made an exception as this was a special moment. She went for a prom night and Kelly uploaded her pics and her date on Instagram. Undoubtedly, Lola looked very beautiful just like her mom and many online users were mesmerized with her beauty. Lola wore a simple spaghetti strap lavender dress which had a high side split and ruched sides and it cost around $395.

Lola negotiated pretty well and made her parents give her extra two hours for the prom night. But the superb move that she made was that she came back a little early (15 minutes) and gave the impression that she is a responsible girl. Kelly told this while was talking on her talk show about the rules and regulations that they both have framed for the kids and they have to be followed even on the prom night.

Fans are going gaga over the fact that Lola is not just very beautiful but she also looks a lot like her mother Kelly. She has been seen with her mom on a couple of occasions such as in the New Jersey Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony where she was seen walking while holding her mom’s hand.

Once, Kelly has said in an interview that if there is a feeling of disliking for her among her kids, this means that she is doing the right thing. As per Kelly, she feels that Lola does not like her but she is not concerned about it as she is a mom and not a friend. We are sure that one day, Lola will get to understand the viewpoint of her parents, especially mother.

When Kelly was supposed to host the CNN Heroes – All Star Tribute Event, Lola was also seen supporting her. In fact, the teenager stole all the attention which her mother would have got, wearing bubblegum pink sweater dress, pumps and elegant gold jewelry. There is no wonder that everyone’s eyes were on her.

Last year in November, Lola made a surprise guest appearance at her mother’s show Live with Kelly and Ryan and joined her for the Thanksgiving cooking segment. During that segment, Lola also joked that her younger brother is Kelly’s favorite to which Kelly said that she doesn’t have favorites, she has the least favorites.

Lola’s birthday is on 16th June and this is the time when the graduation ceremonies take place the most. The graduation ceremonies of Michael and Joaquin took place on the same date and it was quite obvious for her to be furious. Well we can understand how she would have felt sitting in convocation on her birthday.

If we look closely at the facial features of Lola, she has got her complexion from Mark but her high cheekbones come from Kelly. Her hair is also of the same color as that of Mark’s and she has all the qualities for which anyone can go crazy. One thing which is true for sure is that kids of Consuelos and Ripa are perfect blend of beauty and elegance.

Just look at the photo, it may be from the days of Lola’s childhood but it clearly shows that she has been a cute child from the very beginning and now that cuteness added with hotness is making everyone crazy for her. Mark also looks smoking hot in the photo and undoubtedly, the daughter is no less charming than her parents.

In 2007, Mark and Kelly founded a production company called Milojo which they named after their kids – Michael, Lola and Joaquin. In 2014, the Hollywood Reporter called Kelly as one of the most powerful people in media. The production company started with an Emmy-nominated feature documentary The Streak which narrated the story of Brandon High School Wrestling team and its 34 years old winning streak.
