Here’s the scoop: Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are ready to flip the script on their family story. After 27 years of marriage, the dynamic duo behind "Live With Kelly and Ryan" is eagerly looking forward to the next big chapter—becoming grandparents! Can you picture it? These two are already brainstorming ways to make themselves the coolest grandparents on the block.
Mark Consuelos Opens Up About the Future
Mark, 52, recently spilled the beans to Mr. Feelgood, saying, “Find someone you love spending time with—someone you can stroll along the beach with, dream with, and talk about the future.” He added, “We started doing that back when we were 24, and we haven’t stopped. Now, we’re dreaming about grandchildren. We’re already thinking about what kind of grandparents we want to be. Spoiler alert: we’re aiming to be the favorites. The kind that kids can’t wait to visit.”
The Love Story That Keeps Growing
Kelly, 53, and Mark share three amazing kids—Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. They’ve built an incredible life together, and their plans for the future are only strengthening their bond. “These kinds of conversations really tie us together,” Mark said. “Even though I know I can be a bit much sometimes, and Kelly’s got all the patience in the world. Honestly, I think her patience is the secret sauce in our relationship.”

What About the Kids?
Now, let’s talk about the next generation. None of the Consuelos kids are married yet, but there’s been some buzz about Lola, 22. She’s been dating a British guy since moving to London after college. Mark told “Live” viewers last September, “Lola has a British boyfriend, and she’s picked up a few British quirks. She’s even started saying things like ‘rubbish’ instead of ‘trash.’ It’s adorable!”
Kelly chimed in with a laugh, saying, “She doesn’t have a British accent, but she’s definitely picking up some phrases. She’ll say things like ‘bin bag’ instead of ‘trash bag.’ And don’t get me started on ‘rubbish.’ She’s definitely getting things ‘sorted.’”
Matchmaking Mom on the Loose
And then there’s Michael, 26. Kelly tried her hand at matchmaking on her “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast in November 2023, suggesting her son might make a great match for Sharon Stone. “Sharon, I could set you up with my son right now,” she joked. “He’s 26. Wouldn’t that be amazing? He’d be the pride of our family.”
Unfortunately, Sharon, 65, had other plans. She politely declined, explaining that she’s only interested in men over 45. But hey, that’s just Kelly being a mom—she just wants her kids to find love and happiness. And who knows? Maybe one day, she’ll hit the jackpot and land a grandchild or two.
