Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos’ Sons Are Even Taller Than Them in New Pic

by

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are coming up short when it comes to their sons.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos shared a Christmas photo showing how much their sons, Michael, 28, and Joaquin, 22, have grown up. It’s clear the boys have reached new heights, both literally and figuratively!

I was so happy to see Kelly and Mark’s Christmas photo! They were beaming as they hugged their sons, who have seriously grown up – they’re already taller than both of them! It was such a sweet family moment.

The holiday highlights also featured Lola Consuelos, 24, performing a live music set, and the family enjoying a visit to the Hyde Park Christmas Wonderland in London.

Kelly shared a photo of a Christmas carousel and wished everyone happy holidays on behalf of her family.

Kelly is used to being shorter than her sons, so she wasn’t expecting a fan to recently tell her she looked “taller in person.” She was surprised by the comment!

The actress, who starred in All My Children, recounted a recent interaction on the December 8th episode of Live With Kelly and Mark. According to Decider, someone told her, ‘You’re a tall lady. I actually thought you were short.’ She responded by pointing out that she was wearing relatively flat shoes and is usually four inches taller than she appeared at the time, implying she’s even taller than they thought.

But Kelly took the opportunity to relish in her newfound height. 

She explained she responded with, ‘Thank you! Yes, I am tall. I seem even taller in person, and I appreciate you noticing.’ She continued that she actually straightened up, putting down her backpack to fully extend her spine, took a deep breath, and reached her maximum height.

She added, “I grew taller as she was telling me how tall I was.”

Mark jokingly responded that he’d never received a similar compliment, saying, “Honestly, no one has ever said that to me.”

Kelly and Mark have created a lot of wonderful memories with their children, not just during the holidays. Here’s a look at some of their sweetest family moments.

After not sending a child back to school for the first time in two decades, Kelly decided to revisit a memory from 2008 to fill the empty space.

In a photo shared by their dad on Lola’s 19th birthday in 2020, it appears Michael is playfully surprising his younger sister.

Joaquin is surrounded by love at his high school graduation.

Kelly jokingly shared that @instasuelos learned he won’t be living with @joaquinconsuelos when Joaquin starts college at the University of Michigan this fall. She mentioned this while visiting Ann Arbor.

In March 2022, Kelly took a short vacation to Detroit to see the Wolverines compete in the Division 1 Wrestling Championships.

Even though Joaquin was only a first-year student and didn’t compete in wrestling this year, Kelly admitted on a live broadcast after returning that watching the matches was incredibly stressful and aged her significantly.

After pandemic-related delays in 2020, the family was finally able to travel to Greece and Italy in June 2021.

Kelly said what started as a graduation trip for her oldest son and niece ended up becoming a celebration for the newest members of the family, too, after it was delayed for a while.

Kelly loved a family photo taken during their trip to the Mediterranean so much, she used it for their 2021 holiday card.

Kelly shared an old Easter photo from 2012, jokingly referencing her teenage child’s often-disapproving reactions – a common theme on her social media posts.

Mark wished the “spectacular women” in his life a happy International Women’s Day. 

“Happy Valentine’s Day to the loves of my life!” Kelly wrote from the heart on Feb. 14, 2022.

Kelly celebrated the fruits of her labor on National Sons Day, Sept. 28, 2021.

In 2021, Kelly Ripa’s son, Michael Consuelos, shared a heartwarming throwback photo with his mom to celebrate her 51st birthday. He wrote a sweet message wishing her a great day, calling her a strong inspiration and playfully referencing an inside joke – he calls her a ‘T. Rex’ as a compliment!

In August 2020, Kelly Ripa posted a fun recreation of a family photo from 2003 on Instagram. She sat with her youngest son, Joaquin, on her lap, and her older children, Michael and Lola, posed perfectly to match the original. Kelly joked that things might look a little bigger now, but they definitely pulled off the remake!

In May 2020, Kelly and Mark celebrated their oldest son, Michael’s, college graduation. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the ceremony was held virtually. Kelly shared her joy on Instagram, writing about Michael, “And just like that, you graduated! The happiness and pride you’ve brought our family is beyond words. I love you so much.”

Kelly shared a nostalgic Instagram post comparing photos of her kids from 2011 to 2019, joking that ‘the walls have gotten smaller’ as they’ve grown up!

“The Graduate #2019,” Kelly wrote on Instagram celebrating Lola’s final days of high school. 

Kelly receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015 was an all-hands-on-deck event.

Kelly matched her son’s gown and the flowers at Joaquin’s middle school graduation.

When your family is this beautiful, you would likely be posing for selfies more often than not too. 

Holidays always bring family together and this famous crew is no exception. 

In 2003, Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, attended the opening night of the show A Year With Frog and Toad at Maxine’s in New York City.

In 2001, Mark and Kelly brought their son to the premiere of Atlantis: The Lost Empire at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.

This family always manages to have fun, no matter where they go – whether it’s a warm, tropical destination or a chilly, snowy one.
