Ripa & Consuelos Cut Kids From Christmas Card!

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are shaking up their holiday traditions by cutting their three adult children, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin, from their annual Christmas card. The decision, revealed on "LIVE with Kelly and Mark," stems from the couple's desire to avoid the lengthy approval process for family photos.

Mark Consuelos humorously noted that they are tired of waiting for their children's sign-off each year. For this year's card, they embraced a playful approach by posing with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders while on their show, even donning matching tracksuits and silver pom-poms.

This move follows past instances where the children's lack of cooperation led to alternative card choices, such as a photo of Mark with his "Riverdale" cast. Fans have largely supported the couple's decision, especially since their children are in their twenties and living independently, marking the Ripa-Consuelos household as empty nesters.
