Mark Consuelos Explanations to Kelly Ripa
Consuelos expressed his desire to embrace a new role as a grandparent rather than an older father with extra responsibilities. He and Ripa are embarking on an exciting chapter, anticipating becoming grandparents. Ripa noted that many older men she knows are taking the same path.
Reflections on Raising Children
Having raised their three children, Michael (25), Joaquin (20), and Lola (21), Ripa and Consuelos can now enjoy the joys of grandparenthood. Ripa celebrated Joaquin’s 20th birthday last month, sharing throwback photos on Instagram and reflecting on how quickly time passes. On “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Ripa said, “It feels like only a second had passed.”
New Ventures
In addition to focusing on family, Ripa is excited about her new podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera,” co-created with SiriusXM and Milojo Productions, her company with Consuelos. Launching March 22, the podcast will feature guests like Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Carol Burnett, and Matthew McConaughey.
New Beginnings
Consuelos’s excitement about becoming a grandfather highlights life’s new beginnings and the chance to embrace different roles and experiences.
