Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos gave fans a major family update on April 17 when they revealed that their youngest son Joaquin would be graduating in two weeks.
The student has spent the last four years in Ann Arbor as the University of Michigan, and Kelly shared with Live viewers that his graduation may lead to a major change for the family.
“Our newborn baby is graduating in two weeks!” exclaimed Kelly with Mark sharing that the family was “not ready yet to leave Ann Arbor yet” and that they “keep begging him to go to grad school”.

But there was one bright side to the big day, as Mark suggested that now Joaquin “is out, you can go to school, and he won’t be weirded out by his mom in class”.
Kelly then revealed that she had always wanted to go to a four-year college and get her degree, although she didn’t know what subject she would study.
“Writing or English?” joked Mark to which Kelly quipped: “I should go into broadcast, an easy A, or communications.”

The husband-wife presenting team then shared that Joaquin had long told his mom she could not attend Michigan college, even though she loved the vibe on campus, and would be keen to also pick up a sport.
Kelly was discovered while performing in The Ugly Duckling during her senior year of high school. She went on to attend Camden County College studying psychology but dropped out.

“Extraordinary. And it was senior night for the wrestling team. We had a tale of two completely different experiences,” she added. “We were in the theater and then I did a quick change in the car out of my theater clothes into my wrestling mom clothes.”
Joaquin attended the college on a wrestling scholarship.
