Inside Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos’ NYC Family Home Where They Raised Their 3 Kids
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' house witnessed much of their 27-year marriage and the growth of their three beautiful children. However, the couple became empty nesters after their youngest child left home for college.
There's no place like home for Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. Nestled in the heart of New York City, their family house — once bustling with their three kids Michael, 25, Lola, 21, and Joaquin, 20 — showcases their penchant for elegance and comfort.
Through Instagram posts, Ripa frequently gives her followers a virtual tour of their exquisite abode. Her snapshots reveal every remarkable detail, from the opulent foyer to the spacious bedroom she shares with her husband of almost three decades.

The house exterior captivates with a black gate graced by two welcoming lamps. Step inside, and the grandeur of the foyer instantly seizes attention.
It highlights a stunning Chinoiserie-inspired metallic wallpaper covering a smaller entryway leading outdoors, with silver-embellished closet doors standing regally next to a marble fireplace.
A staircase adorned with plush floral carpeting leads to the second floor. The primary bedroom speaks volumes of their refined taste with soft color accents, a textured panel behind the headboard, and a chic beige settee perched at the bed's foot.
Meanwhile, their living room cozies up with a plush gray couch and an elegant glass coffee table holding a collection of books, including Ripa's own "Live Wire."
Matching the house's palette, block curtains drape the floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen is equally mesmerizing, with a centrally placed island, metallic faucets, a gray marble backsplash, and pristine white cabinets.
A vanity mirror above a marble-finished sink serves as Ripa's makeup station in the bathroom.
But when the kids left for college — Michael and Lola at NYU and Joaquin at the University of Michigan — the once bustling house now echoes with a quieter rhythm. Ripa admitted adjusting to the empty nest wasn't easy.
"The best part is no laundry...no dishes. Nothing," she joked. However, the serenity made her nostalgic, wishing for a slowed-down past when the kids were young.
Their first dinner sans kids was an overly ambitious feast for 12, making them recognize their quiet home's enormity.
Yet, they didn't wallow for long. Instead, they embraced their newfound freedom. "We ate on our schedule, hiked, even went rock climbing – quite a thrill!" shared Ripa.
The couple looks forward to spending quality time together as they co-host "Live with Kelly and Mark," appreciating this new chapter in their lives.
