Kelly Ripa‘s daughter Lola has spoken candidly about how she was able to lean on her mother during a difficult period.
The 24-year-old joined the latest episode of SiriusXM show Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa where she opened up about a particularly testing time in which she only had her parents to turn to.
‘When I went to university my first year, I was not happy at all,’ Lola explained.
‘And also, it’s so hard because your other friends that you grew up with in high school are also going through the same thing.
‘They’re at a new school for the first time and you don’t really wanna bother them.
‘But I was going through a bit of a thing and I really felt like the only people I could speak to were my parents.
‘Like most cases, when you’re growing up, your parents always telling you, “When you’re older you’re gonna wish you listened to me.”
‘And there’s so many times in my life where I’m now like, oh my God, I completely get it.’

The 24-year-old opened up about her relationship with mom Kelly and dad Mark Consuelos
Lola admitted that she leaned on her mom Kelly and dad Mark Consuelos a lot during that spell – and was grateful that she was able to.
‘You know that your parents actually in most cases – and it’s really sad if this is not the case – but in most cases, your parents actually have your best interest at heart,’ she explained.
‘I think parents have to grow as well and understand that when your child is an adult, now we can make our own decisions for ourselves. And live with them.’
Besides their daughter Lola, Kelly and Mark also share sons Michael, 27, and Joaquin, 22.
In April, Lola revealed that she wants to recreate one of her parent’s saucy pictures with her boyfriend – although believes doing so will give dad Mark a ‘heart attack.’
Her parents set the internet alight in July 2021 when they uploaded a racy vacation snap to social media.
In the photo, mom-of-three Kelly dressed in a black one-piece, bent over while looking towards the camera as her husband stood behind her with his mouth wide open looking at her rear.
Lola declared that she also wants to recreate the snap for herself.
‘I’m going to say one thing right now. What if — POV — I post [this] with my boyfriend,’ Lola declared to her mom, before going on to ask, “What does Dad do?”

‘Oh my gosh, that’s a great idea,’ Kelly responded. ‘We should recreate it and see!’
Mom Kelly added: ‘It’s my favorite photo I’ve ever taken.’

‘It’s just so unnecessary,’ Lola remarked.
In their joint interview with People for the publication’s World’s Most Beautiful issue, the presenter continued: ‘What’s important about this photo is that I took it with the timer on my cell phone, and I just couldn’t believe that it came out that good or funny!
‘[Mark] was sort of walking behind and I was bending over and I’m like, ‘I’m going to see if this timer thing works.’
‘And it turned out to be a really cute photo.’
And it’s fair to say Lola is hellbent on copying the shot for herself with Cassius, her boyfriend.
She added to the publication: ‘No, I stand by [wanting] to recreate it with my boyfriend. And my dad is going to have a heart attack.’
