Kelly Ripa Celebrates Her Daughter Lola's 19th Birthday with Sweet Throwback Pictures
Proud mother Kelly Ripa paid tribute to her only daughter and mini-me, Lola, on her 19th birthday with a sweet post on Instagram.
Kelly Ripa is a proud mother of a 19-year-old daughter, and she is more than elated. Sharing a series of throwback photos of her baby girl, Ripa described her as "the heart and soul" of their family before declaring her undying love.

While Ripa kept her sweet words to a minimum on her Instagram page, People Magazine reports that wasn't the case on yesterday's episode of "Live with Kelly and Ryan," where she revealed how the entire crew was going to celebrate the birthday.
When she's not singing, Lola entertains her followers with Tik Tok videos and keep busy during the lockdown with online classes and Netflix.
The show host disclosed that they were going to mark her daughter's birthday with a red velvet cake, which will be made at home, alongside a sushi takeout, after which she expressed her sentiments about Lola growing up, saying:
"The days are long but the years are short… I've blinked, and my daughter is 19 years old. I'm so proud of her."
The Daily Mail notes that husband Mark Consuelos wasn't left out of the celebration as he also took to his Instagram page and followed in his wife's footsteps of sharing only their daughter's throwback photos.
Mark also kept his caption short but didn't fail to insert multiple heart emojis to express his love for his baby girl. Kelly and Mark are doting parents to two other sons, Michael 23, and Joaquin, 17.
HELLO! Magazine reveals that Lola wanted a low-key celebration as she asked her parents for one gift, and that was to sleep in on her birthday.
This was obviously hard on mother Kelly, who is filming for her daytime show while in lockdown at their holiday home in the Caribbean.
However, co-host Ryan Seacrest didn't fail to joke about the situation as he hinted that what Lola really wanted was for her mom to walk in while she's asleep and to wish her a happy birthday on live television.
According to Elle Magazine, the 19-year-old is a sophomore at New York University and majors in music. She often shares clips of her sonorous voice on her Instagram with her latest being a rendition of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black."

While she's not a regular on her mum's show, Consuelos made a few appearances, including a Thanksgiving segment cooking segment in 2017 where she jabbed at her mom for choosing younger brother, Joaquin, to be her favorite.
