Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos Celebrate Son Michael's Virtual Graduation

A Special Day for the Consuelos Family

Hey there, let’s talk about a truly special moment in the life of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. They recently celebrated their son Michael Consuelos' virtual college graduation. The 22-year-old wrapped up his last semester at New York University amidst the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic. To make this milestone unforgettable, the proud parents took to Instagram to give him a heartfelt shout-out.

Words of Love and Pride from Kelly

On May 21, Kelly Ripa, the ever-charming host of "Live with Kelly and Ryan," shared a touching post on Instagram. She wrote, "And just like that, you graduated college. MJC, the joy and pride you have brought our family is indescribable." She went on to express her love, saying, "I love you with all my heart. #NYU #2020." In the accompanying photo, Kelly and Mark were seen sporting their "proud mom" and "proud dad" tassels, while Michael looked sharp in his graduation cap and NYU Tisch School Of The Arts shirt.

A Separate Message from Mark

Mark Consuelos, the dashing star of "Riverdale," also took to Instagram to mark this significant occasion. He captioned his post, "#Happy virtual graduation MJC. We are so proud of you. #Quarentinegraduation2020. We know it’s not what we all expected, but we are so grateful to be all together on what I know must seem like the longest family trip ever." This just shows how much this family cherishes togetherness, even in unconventional circumstances.

A Look Back at the Journey

It wasn’t just a one-day celebration. Kelly first celebrated her son’s graduation journey on May 15 by sharing a throwback photo of Michael wearing his gown. She reminisced, "#Fbf 2016. Four years passed in the blink of an eye and today you take your final exam in college." The comments were filled with heartfelt messages, including Mark sharing two flexed bicep emojis and Kelly’s friend Lucy Liu saying, “Yay, Michael!!! I can’t believe time flew so quickly. What an amazing achievement for you both and for Michael!”

What's Next for Michael?

With a degree under his belt, Michael Consuelos is now ready to conquer the world. He’s already dipped his toes in the professional waters by helping his mom produce the end of her show. But don’t get me wrong, Michael doesn’t seem entirely thrilled with that role. Kelly shared this amusing anecdote with her cohost Ryan Seacrest during the May 6 episode of their show, saying, “He’s like, ‘Uh, yeah.’” Laughter ensued, and we’re sure Michael will find his true calling soon.

So, don’t worry, Michael. The world is your oyster, and you can achieve anything you set your mind to!
