Kelly Ripa is no ordinary mom, she is a humble mom. Or at least, she’s all in on the meme when it comes to her daughter, Lola.
Ripa, who shares grown children Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 21, with husband Mark Consuelos, proved she was more than aware of the latest internet trend when she commented on one of Lola’s latest social posts.

Lola uploaded a series of pictures to her Instagram account last week — including two photos of herself sunbathing, one without a bikini.
“Is this humble?” she referred to the carousel of images TikTok influencer Jools Lebron’s iconic “very demure, very mindful” video, which has gone extremely viral.
Ripa, for his part, commented, “Very attentive.”
Ripa and Consuelos, who married in 1996 after meeting on the set of All my childrenhave shared some NSFW stories of their own through the years. In fact, the couple – who have long been open about their close relationship with their children – have described their most embarrassing family moments along the way.
Back in 2019, theLive with Kelly and Mark hosts recalled the time Lola, then 16, admitted her parents were having sex.
“‘You just ruined my birthday! And my life!'” Ripa quoted her daughter as sharing the awkward encounter with the audience on her talk show at the time. “‘And I used to see in color, and now it’s all gray!'”
However, it’s not just Lola who has accidentally witnessed her parents’ personal time – as Ripa and Consuelos find out at brunch the next morning, both Michael and Joaquin have had the misfortune of doing the same.
“The other kids are like, ‘Oh, yeah, you remember that one—? They all started sharing stories about when they left [in on us]”, Consuelos joked. “And I’m like, is somebody knocking on this house?”
“No one knocks!” Ripa exclaimed in agreement. “No one knocks in our house!”
