The actress and television personality took to Instagram to go “back to reality” in a sweet sendoff to her three children. The new photo depicts Ripa’s three children, Joaquin, 19, Lola, 21, and Michael, 25, whom she shares with husband, Mark Consuelos. Ripa captioned the photo, “It sure was nice having the chickens back in the nest for a couple of weeks. Back to life…..back to reality ♥️♥️♥️🥺#summer #vibes.” It looks like Ripa and Consuelos got some extra bonding time with their children this summer, but as the season ends, life starts to pick up again. The Live With Kelly and Ryan co-host had a pretty busy summer, however, as she’s currently hosting the new ABC show Generation Gap, described by ABC as a game show in which “Family members work together to answer questions about each other’s generations.” Ripa is also preparing for the release of her new book Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories on Sept. 27, followed by the book tour. This will be the 51-year-old’s first book, featuring stories from her real life about everything from parenthood to her upbringing in New Jersey. Meanwhile, Ripa’s kids have also been busy. Both Michael and Lola had birthdays at the beginning of the season in June, which Ripa posted about on social media. On top of that, Lola released her first single, “Paranoia Silverlining,” not long ago. She thanked listeners with an Instagram post showing herself in the music studio, stating, “Thank you for showing paranoia silver lining all the love and support.” Michael started started acting a while back, picking up the craft from his parents. He even played a teen Hiram Lodge in Riverdale, the younger version of his father’s character in the show. As for the youngest, Joaquin, it looks like he currently goes to the University of Michigan and is a talented wrestler, at least according to his Instagram page. More Entertainment:
