Kelly Ripa shared a humorous anecdote about a time she left her husband, Mark Consuelos, to care for their three young children. While Ripa was away filming a show in Chicago, their youngest son, Joaquin, was only six months old.
To ensure her children were well-cared for, Ripa hired multiple babysitters to work in eight-hour shifts. Upon her return, the final babysitter humorously cautioned Ripa against dying, as Consuelos was reportedly unaware of where essential items were kept.
This story emerged shortly after Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on May 1, 2026. The couple, who eloped in Las Vegas in 1996, have three children: Michael, Lola, and Joaquin, all of whom are pursuing their own careers.
Their eldest son, Michael, works in television production. Lola is pursuing a music career in London, while Joaquin is set to act in a Hulu pilot. The couple expressed their enduring love and commitment, calling their marriage the best decision they ever made.
