Kelly & Mark's Jay-Z Secret Weapon for Cool Points
22 Oct
Summary
- Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos revealed their Jay-Z connection to their kids.
- Their children initially doubted their parents' 'coolness' and celebrity ties.
- A recent encounter at a Knicks game finally convinced their youngest son.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos found an unexpected way to boost their cool factor with their three children, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. The couple admitted to feeling uncool during their kids' teenage years, facing mockery from their children and their friends.
To counter this, Ripa and Consuelos revealed their past appearance in Jay-Z's 2003 music video for "Change Clothes," featuring Pharrell Williams. However, their children remained skeptical for years, dismissing the story as a fabrication.
The turning point came recently when Mark Consuelos took his youngest son, Joaquin, to a Knicks game. Joaquin was embarrassed by his father until Consuelos encountered Jay-Z, who greeted him warmly. This interaction finally convinced Joaquin, leading him to excitedly tell his mother that their father knows Jay-Z, admitting he had thought they were lying about their connections.
Kelly Ripa humorously suggested that their children should utilize the internet and Google to verify such claims in the future.
