Looks like Kelly Ripa's daughter, Lola, might have gotten a little carried away with her spending habits. The TV icon recently had to intervene and shut down her daughter's debit card for some pretty surprising reasons. Let's dive into the details of what happened and why Kelly had no choice but to take action.
How Lola's Spending Got Out of Hand
During an episode of "Live With Kelly and Ryan," aired on Tuesday, January 21, Kelly Ripa, the 49-year-old talk show host, shared a story about her 18-year-old daughter Lola. It turns out that Lola, who is currently in college, had been using a service called Postmates to get food delivered to her dorm. Now, here's the kicker—Kelly had no idea that Lola even had Postmates in the first place.
Let me explain. Kelly mentioned that they had already set up a meal plan for Lola because, as she put it, "we’re not monsters." But apparently, Lola wasn’t too thrilled with the dining options at school. Instead of sticking to the meal plan, she opted for Postmates deliveries. Here's the kicker: ordering a simple $7 salad turned into a $25 expense once delivery fees were factored in. That's a lot of cash for just a few blocks in bustling New York City!

Why Kelly Had to Take Action
This unexpected spending spree didn’t sit well with Kelly and her husband, Mark Consuelos. They realized something had to change. In Kelly's own words, "Oh, we shut down that debit card account she had." It seems like Lola’s love for convenience came at a steep price, one that her parents weren’t willing to foot anymore.
Kelly and Mark's Family Life
Aside from Lola, Kelly and Mark also share two sons—Michael, 22, and Joaquin, 16. Over the years, the couple has been open about their parenting journey and the dynamic within their family. One particularly amusing topic they’ve touched on in the past is how Lola, their only daughter, reacts to their fashion choices.
As Kelly once told People magazine, "We have nothing to do with it literally because she’s mortified by everything we put on." But don’t let that fool you—Lola isn’t all criticism. Kelly revealed that she sometimes seeks her daughter's advice when it comes to fashion. "You know, she’ll let us know if something’s bad," Mark chimed in. "She doesn’t even bother with me," Kelly added, laughing. "She just feels that what I wear is embarrassing and awful. But then I think that means that I’ve gotten something right. … I don’t think your teenage daughters should like what you’re wearing."
