Kelly Ripa is a doting mom to three grown-up children, and was feeling all the emotions over the weekend as she took a trip down memory lane.
The Live with Kelly and Mark star took to Instagram to share a gorgeous photo of herself when pregnant with daughter Lola, now 22, while posing with husband Mark Consuelos.
In the caption, she wrote: “Easter circa 2001. @instasuelos. (Lola wasn’t quite hatched yet, hence the ONLY reason for these slacks) #FBF.”

Fans were quick to comment on the post, with one writing: “Awhhh.. love the baby bump ! You both look sooo young and beautiful,” while another wrote: “How cute you look, Kelly you both are so young, but a beautiful couple having a baby.” A third added: “This is amazing to see this 2001 photograph and knowing this is Lola, who had not been born yet. Such a sweet memory.”
Kelly and Mark are also parents to sons Michael, 26, and Joaquin, 21. The family are incredibly close and will no doubt be reuniting over the Easter weekend.
Lola lives with her parents but is also spending a lot of time in London, where her boyfriend lives. She met him after studying in the UK for a semester in 2023.
The couple’s oldest son Michael lives closeby to their family home in the Upper East Side, in Bushwick, Brooklyn, while Joaquin is a student at the University of Michigan.

Lola is an aspiring musician and has released two singles in the past few years. Her mom and dad are incredibly supportive, and she previously opened up about valuing their opinion when it comes to her music.

Chatting to People last year, she said: “They love it. My parents are the last people to sugarcoat anything when it comes to my singing. They are going to tell me if it sounds bad! So when I saw they had a good reaction and liked it, I felt reassured.”
