Her husband, Mark, chimed in with a joke, asking, “Did you have her take out the rubbish?” referencing British terminology. Kelly continued, “But it’s very funny, she doesn’t have a British accent,” before Mark playfully added, “Did she speak like Madonna did back in the day?”

Mark Consuelos, known for his strong bond with his children, previously shared his views on their relationships in an interview with People. He expressed how much he values spending time with his kids and their partners. “That’s kind of the goal after you raise them… We’re still raising them, but they’re adults, so we’re not really. They’re on their own for the most part. But I was just really thrilled and honored that my kids would want to spend time with me and my wife. And not be embarrassed by bringing their boyfriend or a girlfriend around,” he said.
It seems that Lola’s British boyfriend has seamlessly integrated into the Consuelos family, making her return home even more exciting.
