LIVE TV MELTDOWN: Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos’ Son Joaquin Hijacks the Show With Shocking On-Air Stunt — What He Said Left His Parents Frozen, the Audience in Chaos, and Millions Wondering If It Was Scripted or the Wildest Prank in Talk Show History!

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos may have tons of loyal viewers, but their children are not among them.

The soap opera actress and the Missing star, both 54, appeared on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where they opened up about why they think people love their morning show, saying that people simply like “watching their parents fight.”

When host Seth Meyers asked the couple, who’ve been together for nearly three decades, if any of their adult children watch their talk show, both Ripa and Consuelos instantly replied, “No.”

“So people like to watch their parents fight, except for your children,” Meyers joked, which prompted Ripa to share the only reason their son Joaquin, 22, will watch their appearance on the late-night show.

“Our youngest son — our youngest is 22 — and we asked him to come here tonight ’cause he was visiting us. He lives in Michigan, and he was visiting us. And I said, ‘Do you want to come see Seth tonight?’ And he goes, he goes, ‘No, no, no, I’ll … watch it on the show when it airs,’ ” she recalled.

“And I go, ‘Oh, you’re going to watch?’ And he goes, ‘Well, I watch Seth,’ ” she continued. “So he’s like, ‘I’m not watching for you. I’m just naturally watching Seth.’”

Consuelos and Ripa married in May 1996, one year after meeting on the soap opera All My Children, and they have been together ever since. The last few decades have been busy ones for the couple as they spent them raising their three children: Joaquin, Lola, 24, and Michael, 28.

On an episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast released Tuesday, July 15, the Live with Kelly and Mark host explained why her children being nepo babies is not necessarily a bad thing. She responded to the topic of nepo babies by revealing that her children graduating without student loan debt is one result of her and her husband’s wealth she finds “comfort” in.

“I think my kids feel, like, very fortunate in general,” she said, noting that “they don’t have student loans.”

Ripa also shared how her children feel knowing they don’t have to carry that weight. “There’s, like, a comfort in knowing my kids got to graduate knowing that they weren’t having to climb out of a mountain of debt,” she told host Amanda Hirsch. “They are so appreciative and so grateful.”

Although the All My Children alum and the Riverdale star are willing to give their children everything, Ripa explained that they kept their kids lives “really normal” as they were growing up.

“I also think we kept their worlds really normal when they were young,” she said. “They always, from the earliest ages they could, had part-time jobs, always. And … in their friend circle, they were like the only ones to have jobs.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Ripa opened up about how the loyal viewers of her talk show are like extended family members, especially when it comes to her family.

“Our children are fully aware. They’ll meet people on the street that will come up to them and say, ‘I watched you grow up. It is such a pleasure to see you as an adult,’ ” Ripa told Hirsch.

She explained, “When my kids were little, they had the opportunity to come on and do, like, little segments … and people got a glimpse into their lives. And then they grew up, and they move on, and they move out, and they move out of the country in some cases, and and people don’t get to regularly check in with them.”
