According to US Weekly, Ripa named her daughter after the Barry Manilow’s song “Copacabana.” Ripa was in labour and on her way to the hospital when the hit song started playing in the taxi. The lyrics mention the name “Lola,” and in that moment the couple knew it would be a perfect name for their daughter.

Their eldest, Michael is already in college. But that doesn’t make preparing Lola to leave any easier for the family. An emotional Ripa shared a throwback picture of Lola’s christening with the caption:

“#tbt 2001 from your Christening to college. In the blink of an eye. I’m not crying. You’re crying ?(actually Daddy’s sobbing) ?”

Lola is Ripa and Consuelos’ only daughter. Looking strikingly like her mother, she has a close relationship with the television host. Ripa often shares hilarious anecdotes about Lola such as, her walking in the couple being intimate, on her 18 birthday. Ripa recalls the moment saying:

"She shuts the door and you hear, 'You just ruined my birthday! And my life!”

Now that Lola is off to college, the couple might be able to get a little more privacy. Ripa has always joked about how excited she is to be an empty nester. With two out the door, they have one more child wating for fly out the nest.

Ripa has always stayed relatable to audiences, often sharing and over-sharing details of her life. With two children in college, she is sure to keep viewers entertained with college mom stories.
