A Look Back at Their Beautiful Journey
The montage featured a delightful collection of photographs showcasing Kelly, Mark, and their three children—Michael, 22, Lola, 18, and Joaquin, 17. As the soulful tune "Chienne De Vie" by Zoufris Maracas played in the background, viewers were treated to a glimpse of the family’s happiest moments. From old throwback photos to vacation snapshots, each image painted a picture of a family that’s grown together through the years. It’s clear to see that this couple cherishes every moment they’ve shared.
What’s even more endearing is how Kelly included photos with some of their closest friends, including TV personality Andy Cohen, and other extended family members. Of course, no birthday tribute from Kelly would be complete without a few shirtless shots of Mark, and she didn’t disappoint. It’s moments like these that remind us why fans adore this couple so much—they’re real, they’re fun, and they’re completely in love.
Mark’s fans were quick to jump into the comments section, showering him with well-wishes. One fan wrote, “I live for your birthday posts! So thoughtful,” while another added, “Happy birthday!!! 💕 Your family is so beautiful and the best blessings and wishes to you all!” A third fan chimed in with, “Happy Birthday, Mark. What better present can there be than to have your whole family together. ENJOY!” It’s clear that Kelly’s post resonated with many people, and it’s not hard to see why.

Words of Wisdom Amidst Uncertainty
In addition to sharing those breathtaking photos of Mark, Kelly took the opportunity to offer some sage advice during these unprecedented times. Amid the global coronavirus outbreak, she shared a list of things that she believes are “OK” and “not OK” to do to help combat loneliness. It’s a reminder that we’re all in this together and that finding balance is key.

“Because it struck a chord. Here’s my ‘It’s OK/It’s Not OK’ list,” she captioned a set of two photos on March 23. “I’m sure you have your own.” It’s a comforting thought that even in the face of adversity, Kelly is thinking about ways to help others stay positive and connected.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, it’s evident that Kelly is doing everything in her power to keep her children, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin, safe. As a source previously told Closer Weekly, Kelly places a high priority on her children’s health. Dr. Daryl Gioffre, an alkaline diet expert and author of Get Off Your Acid, shared in February, “Kelly is always looking to bring healthier SWAPS to her children in place of acidic foods, and for that, I have the most respect for her.”
