It’s all about family bonding for Kelly Ripa and her 17-year-old son, Joaquin Consuelos. The dynamic duo has found a fun way to connect while enjoying their quarantine in the Caribbean—matching outfits! Kelly and Joaquin were seen sporting identical "Six Gun Striking" T-shirts, and trust me, they looked absolutely stylish doing it.
Matching Style: A Mother-Son Moment
Sharing the moment with her followers, Kelly, who's now 52, posted a heartfelt caption on Instagram. “Some days they think I’m cool,” she wrote. “Thanks @sixgungibson. Consider me the seventh gun.” Now, isn’t that a clever way to describe the bond she shares with her kids? It's not just about fashion—it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime.
A Paradise of Fun and Challenges
While living in paradise sounds dreamy, the Ripa-Consuelos family has been keeping things lively and memorable. From celebrating son Michael Consuelos’ college graduation to Joaquin’s fresh haircut (courtesy of Kelly herself), they’ve managed to make quarantine an adventure. Despite some playful arguments during the haircut session, Joaquin ended up loving his new look.

“She did a really good job, I’m really happy,” Joaquin gushed on Live With Kelly and Ryan. “I feel much more aerodynamic right now. But the only thing is I turn on my phone and I have the face ID and it doesn’t recognize me because I used to look like Judge Judy and now I look like Joaquin… so it doesn’t know who I am.”
Family Style and Chore Wars
Kelly isn’t just a style icon for her kids; she’s also embracing her daughter Lola Consuelos’ fashion sense. “I’m now in my daughter’s clothes,” Kelly joked on her show. “Running out of things to wear.” It seems like the whole family is stepping into new roles and supporting each other through this unique experience.
Of course, life in the Caribbean isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. The family has their fair share of challenges, especially when it comes to household chores. Enter Kelly’s ingenious “chore wheel,” which ensures everyone pitches in fairly. One week someone might be vacuuming, and the next, they’re tackling laundry. But let’s be real—no one wants to clean the toilet. That’s a chore that never seems to get any volunteers!
Expert Advice: Chores Build Stronger Bonds
Dr. Eileen Kennedy-Moore, a parenting expert, praised Kelly’s approach on Live With Kelly and Ryan. “There’s actually research that when kids contribute to their families in meaningful ways, they feel happier,” she explained. While convincing kids to clean the toilet might still be a tough sell, the benefits are undeniable. It’s all about fostering responsibility and teamwork.
Through it all, Kelly Ripa continues to make the most of her time in quarantine. Whether it’s through fashion, family moments, or a little chore-sharing, she’s proving that even in challenging times, there’s always room for fun and connection.
