Kelly Ripa Calls Daughter Lola, 18, ‘Gifted’ as She Reveals Her Beautiful Singing Voice
You go, girl! Kelly Ripa‘s daughter, Lola Consuelos, proved talent runs deep in their famous family as the 18-year-old debuted her talented singing voice. The Live! With Kelly & Ryan host’s mini-me showed off her captivating croon as she shared two clips of her singing to Labrinth’s “Jealous.”
In the videos, Lola — who is currently studying music as a freshman at New York University — can just be barely seen as she hums along to the hit song. The brunette beauty captioned her post on Wednesday, December 18, with a simple black heart emoji.
Lola’s comments section quickly filled with encouraging messages, but it was mom Kelly, 49, and dad Mark Consuelos‘ comments that garnered the most attention. “You are gifted ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,” the proud mom gushed, while the Riverdale actor, 48, echoed with a series of heart emojis. Lola’s little brother, 16-year-old Joaquin, also left a sweet comment on her post, writing, “Wow!!! The best voice I’ve ever heard😁.”
Considering Kelly and Mark — who tied the knot in 1996 and also share Lola and Joaquin’s older brother, 22-year-old Michael — are doting parents, it’s not surprising they would be the first to support their daughter if she chooses to pursue a Hollywood career. In August, the All My Children alums were forced to face the music that their little girl was growing up after dropping her off at her NYU dorm at the end of summer.
Although Kelly and Mark struggled with letting their daughter go, the parents of three couldn’t have been more proud she was pursuing a college education like her older brother, Michael — who is also studying at NYU. Around the time they shipped Lola off to college, the blonde beauty admitted the time apart made her realize how close her children truly are.
“We moved Lola into her dorm and it’s one of those things that you don’t realize how close [the kids are],” she said on Live! in September. “The younger two are really close in age. Like, I didn’t even know I was pregnant with the third one because I was still nursing the second one!”
Luckily, Kelly and Mark get to have their kiddos under one roof for the holidays. However, the Hope and Faith actress and her handsome husband joked they have to practically bribe their kids to come home for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other family functions.
“As the kids are getting older … we know that these holidays are going to be almost coming up on the last we can all kind of dictate where they spend their holidays and [will] have to share that with their new families,” Mark shared with Us Weekly. Kelly chimed in, adding, “In the blink of an eye, your kids grow up and suddenly you are begging them to spend time with you.”
Maybe Lola will share a video singing with her mom, Kelly!
