Lola’s Bold Decision: Moving Across the Pond
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are known for their close-knit family, often sharing stories about their children’s lives. However, recent news about their daughter Lola left them—and their fans—taken aback. During a candid family discussion, Lola announced her plans to settle in England permanently, a decision that marks a significant turning point for the 22-year-old and her family.
Lola, who graduated with a degree in music from NYU, has been pursuing her passion for songwriting and performing. During a semester abroad in London, she fell in love with the city’s vibrant arts scene, diverse culture, and opportunities to grow her career. “London felt like home,” Lola shared in a recent interview. “It’s where I’ve discovered myself and where I see my future.”
The decision wasn’t an easy one, as it meant leaving her family behind in the United States. Yet, Lola was resolute, emphasizing her desire to carve out her own path. “I’m grateful for everything my parents have done for me, but this is my journey now,” she added.
Kelly Ripa’s Baffling Reaction
When Kelly first heard the news, her reaction was anything but typical. The usually poised and composed TV host admitted to feeling blindsided. “I didn’t know what to say,” Kelly revealed during a segment of Live with Kelly and Mark. “I went from being supportive to thinking, ‘Wait, is this a joke?’”
Kelly’s initial disbelief quickly gave way to a mix of emotions, including pride and sadness. “On one hand, I’m thrilled that Lola is following her dreams and stepping into her independence. On the other hand, it’s hard as a parent to think about your child being so far away,” Kelly admitted.
Mark Consuelos, on the other hand, took the news with a bit more composure. “I think as a father, I’ve always known Lola would chart her own course. She’s adventurous, and this doesn’t surprise me at all,” he shared. However, he acknowledged that the decision would require adjustments for their family dynamic.
Kelly’s baffling reaction also stemmed from her realization of how this move would impact their day-to-day lives. “I’m so used to having her nearby, whether it’s for Sunday dinners or just catching up over coffee. It’s a big change,” Kelly confessed.
Despite her initial shock, Kelly quickly pivoted to focus on supporting her daughter. “Lola is strong and determined, and I know she’s going to thrive. That’s all a parent can hope for,” she said.

With Lola’s decision finalized, the Consuelos family has been preparing for this significant transition. From setting up virtual family check-ins to planning regular visits to London, they are finding ways to stay connected despite the distance.
Kelly shared her approach to navigating this new normal, emphasizing the importance of communication. “We’ve been talking a lot about how to stay close even when we’re far apart. Technology makes it easier, but it’s still not the same as having her in the same country,” Kelly said.
Lola’s siblings, Michael and Joaquin, have also chimed in with their support. “We’re all rooting for her,” Michael said in an interview. “She’s doing what she loves, and that’s what matters.” Joaquin added, “It’s inspiring to see her take such a bold step. She’s paving the way for all of us to dream bigger.”
The move has also prompted the family to reflect on their own journeys. “It’s moments like these that remind us to appreciate the time we have together,” Mark shared. “We’re learning as much from Lola as she is from us.”
The Consuelos family’s adaptability is a testament to their strong bond. By focusing on celebrating Lola’s achievements and embracing the changes ahead, they are setting an example of resilience and unconditional love.
