Kelly Ripa's Daughter Lola Shines At The CNN Heroes All-Star Tribute

Let’s face it—time really does fly by faster than we’d like! Just the other day, Kelly Ripa was holding her newborn daughter, Lola, and now she's all grown up. On December 17, Kelly’s 16-year-old daughter made a rare public appearance alongside her famous mom, and wow, did she ever turn heads with her stunning presence. Lola is blossoming into a beautiful young woman, and it’s impossible not to notice.

Here’s the scoop: Kelly and Lola graced the red carpet at the CNN Heroes All-Star Tribute in New York City, an event where Kelly was hosting alongside her good pal, Anderson Cooper. This outing marked Lola’s first red carpet appearance with her mom since the New Jersey Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony back in May 2017. It’s always exciting to see the next generation stepping into the spotlight, and Lola certainly didn’t disappoint. Check out the video below for some incredible photos of Kelly and Lola together!

Family Life with Kelly and Mark

Kelly and her husband of over two decades, Mark Consuelos, welcomed Lola into their lives back in June 2001. The couple has also raised two sons: Michael, who's now 20, and Joaquin, who’s 14. It’s heartwarming to see Kelly and Lola bonding at this event, especially since it was a special night out for just the two ladies. You can bet Mark, Michael, and Joaquin were probably feeling a little left out!

But you know what? It's moments like these that remind us how important it is to cherish the time we spend with our loved ones. For Kelly, this evening must have been a mix of pride, nostalgia, and pure joy as she watched her daughter shine under the spotlight.

Kelly and Lola's Social Media Drama

Now, here’s something that adds a little humor to the mix. If you’ve been following Kelly Ripa, you might know that she recently shared a #TBT Halloween photo of Lola on social media without asking for her permission first. And let me tell you, Lola wasn’t too thrilled about it.

“I’m never allowed to post a photo of her—ever,” Kelly confessed during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “I thought, ‘She can’t get mad at me for posting an eight-year-old photo. It’s a Halloween throwback Thursday.’” But guess what? As soon as Kelly posted it, her phone started ringing—it was Lola!

“I was debating whether or not to answer it,” Kelly laughed. “I was like, ‘Maybe I shouldn’t… but what if it’s an emergency?’” Lola’s response was firm: “Take it down right now! My friends follow you for some reason and they will see this!” And just like that, Kelly obliged. The matter was settled, and it’s now a running joke in their household.
