Lola Consuelos is the daughter of Live with Kelly and Ryan host, Kelly Ripa, and her actor
husband, Mark Consuelos.
Lola's not in "the biz" (yet), and her social media accounts are private, but fans of Live
have watched her grow up before their very eyes.
As of early 2018, she's 16-years-old and starting to step out — and we're catching up on everything-Lola.
Baby face
Thanks to Kelly's Instagram, Live fans have glimpsed her family's off-camera life, including
TBT shots of all three of their kids, Michael, 20, Lola, 16, and Joaquin, 14.
Ripa even threw-back to a chubby baby Lola from a 2001 Hawaii trip.
And for Lola's most recent birthday, Mark posted a video of her, writing, "16 years
ago I got the best Father's Day present...This is how I'll always see you."
Can you even stand the cuteness?
Typical teen
In 2014, Kelly spilled the beans to Wendy Williams on what life was like with a then-13-year-old
Lola.
"I don't think she likes me, but I don't care.
I'm like, 'I'm not your friend, I'm your mom.'"
So what was the big beef?
Kelly revoked Lola's phone and internet privileges after catching her on Instagram, instead of
studying for a Spanish test.
Kelly noted that she and Mark try to respect their kids' privacy, except when it comes
to social media.
"If you want to write a letter or write in your journal, I'm not gonna read that.
If you wanna tweet about what a pain in the butt your mom is, I'm gonna see that."
But sometimes it's Kelly who crosses the line.
On The Tonight Show in 2017, Kelly revealed that one of her TBT photos got her into some
hot water with her kid.
Lola, who was dressed-up for Halloween as the Gorton's fisherman, in the pic, called
Kelly and demanded she take it down.
"I'm never allowed to post a photo of her, ever."
"That's not fair."
"Exactly.
Why did I have these kids if I can't exploit them on social media."
Flashing lights
There's nothing quite like a dose of the L.A. high life to make a girl wanna move to Hollywood.
And that's exactly what happened in 2016 when Lola temporarily lived in La La Land while
her dad was there shooting the Fox series, Pitch.
According to People, both Lola and her older brother, Michael, made the trip with Mark,
doing internships with "film houses" while they were visiting.
Kelly shared Lola's excitement about the extended cross-country trip on Live.
"My daughter was like, 'OMG, are we moving to L.A.? Should I start applying to schools
now?
Cuz I know all the schools out there."
Mark confirmed Lola's California dream, telling ET,
"She wants to figure out a way to live here permanently.
There's UCLA or USC.
[I told her] in a few years, come out and do that."
The cool dad
Lola accompanied her dad to the L.A. premiere of Nine Lives and was clearly a bit starstruck.
She told ET that seeing her dad rock the red carpet raised his cool factor, saying,
"It's cool, I like it.
I'm like, you're actually kinda cool.
I didn't think so before, but now, you're cool."
From a teenager, that counts as a total complement.
Future fashionista
Lola turned heads with her latest red carpet appearance, stepping out for 2017's CNN Heroes
All-Star Tribute alongside her mom, who was co-hosting the ceremony.
She also "brought it" the year before, for the same event.
But her most infamous dress-to-date was from her Sweet 16.
And it wasn't the outfit her parents agreed to let her wear.
Kelly explained how Lola had the dress altered after they all agreed on the neck and hemlines,
saying,
"It was to the knee, and the arms were covered, and the bosom was covered, so it was a great
compromise."
But then Lola made a few last-minute adjustments.
Kelly explained,
"The dress had been cut up to the gynecological area and the neckline had been brought down."
All crushed out
So is Lola crushing on anyone these days?
Well, if her dad has anything to say about it, she's not!
In a 2016 interview with ET, Mark was asked how he was "handling having such a beautiful
teenage daughter."
Mark replied,
"I hate three people and I haven't meet them.
Those are her first boyfriends—I haven't even met them yet!"
But he went on to support Lola, saying she makes good choices.
TBD on who she picks!
Hosting mini-me
For Thanksgiving week in 2017, Lola appeared in a hilarious cooking segment on Live, where
she was charming, funny, and totally held her own in spite of any teenage awkwardness.
"So how many generations have we been making this recipe, tell the audience!"
"Zero.
We've never made this before."
The real revelation from the segment, however, came at the end when Lola revealed that she'd
like to host the show:
"I just think we should host the show one time."
"Oh, you two host the show?
What a great idea!"
"Ryan and I can take the day off."
Sounds like the cat's out of the bag: Little Lola's all grown up — and she's got stars
in her eyes.
