Here’s a story you don’t want to miss! Kelly Ripa is making the most of her time off from Live With Kelly and Mark with a little family getaway. The beloved talk show host recently shared an absolutely stunning Instagram picture of herself and her daughter, Lola Consuelos, soaking up the sun during a beach trip on August 27. Let’s dive into all the details of this heartwarming mother-daughter moment.
Chillin’ by the Beach with Lola and Lena
In the Instagram post that’s got fans smiling, Lola, who’s now 22, is seen cradling their family dog, Lena, in her arms. Kelly, looking as radiant as ever at 52, captioned the post with a sweet nod to National Dog Day: “Enjoying #NationalDogDay with Lola and Lena in the dog days of summer.” It’s the perfect blend of family, fun, and furry friends, showing just how Kelly spends her downtime.
Paradise Vibes and Lola’s Music
Though Kelly didn’t reveal the exact location of her family escape, her Instagram Stories have been giving us a taste of paradise. She posted a breathtaking sunset video, set to her daughter Lola’s song “Divine Timing.” Now that’s what I call a perfect playlist for a summer getaway. Kelly, who also shares two other kids, Michael and Joaquin, with her husband Mark Consuelos, has been a rock-solid supporter of Lola’s music career.

Lola recently graduated from New York University in May 2023, and with her family by her side, she’s making waves in the entertainment world. “I’ve always seen them stay really true to themselves and authentic and grounded,” Lola said of her parents’ influence on her music. “That’s the best advice, and it’s not even advice because I’ve grown up watching them work like that. I’m incredibly grateful to have them as built-in mentors. I don’t even have to pay for them. They’ve just been there.”
Len and Anderson Cooper Step In
Fans of the Ripa-Consuelos clan might remember Lena from her cameo on Live back on July 27. Mark, looking as dapper as ever at 52, brought the adorable pup onto the stage and placed her on his lap at the news desk. Kelly, however, wasn’t present that day as she was on a brief hiatus. Who stepped in? None other than Anderson Cooper, who filled in for her during the dog-themed episode. Anderson, 56, was praised for his cohosting skills, with one fan commenting, “Y’all were great together today!”
As Kelly missed several more episodes in July, other guest cohosts like Andy Cohen, Jenny Mollen, Maria Menounos, and Deja Vu stepped in to keep things lively. The series then went on its regular summer break in early August, and Kelly and Mark are set to return with new episodes on ABC on September 5 at 9 a.m. EST.
More Summer Fun Ahead
For now, Kelly and Mark are soaking up the sun, sharing some shirtless pics of Mark to keep their Instagram followers entertained. It’s a well-deserved break for the couple, who’ve worked tirelessly on their show. As reruns continue to air each morning, fans can expect plenty more family moments from the Ripa-Consuelos crew before they’re back in the spotlight.
