On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos kicked off their Live With Kelly and Mark episode with a very special celebration — their eldest son Michael’s 29th birthday! 🥳
“Good morning! Today is our eldest son Michael’s birthday,” Mark announced with a proud smile. Kelly chimed in warmly, “Happy Birthday, Michael!” before adding her signature touch: “Remember, you weren’t born until 7:17 p.m., so technically, it’s not your birthday yet. You haven’t made your grand entrance yet!” 😄
The couple couldn’t resist reminiscing about Michael’s birth. Kelly recalled jokingly, “I was watching Entertainment Tonight and thought, ‘Can we wait until this episode is over?’” Mark shared that her labor was long, requiring them to spend the night at the hospital, but thankfully not as dramatic as another patient’s experience. “I remember hearing someone giving birth in the hallway,” he said. Kelly added, “I thought I’d arrived too early… but then, hearing that, I realized I got there just in time!”
Over the years, the Ripa‑Consuelos children have made several adorable appearances on the show, sharing laughs and family moments with the hosts. Michael himself surprised Kelly earlier this year during her 25th anniversary episode, reflecting fondly on memorable Live moments: the infamous Louisiana swamp tour where he tossed a snake on Kelly, her almost jumping out of the boat, family holiday specials, cooking segments, and of course, the unforgettable “golden wiener” win. 🐍🎬,type=downsize)
Seeing Michael in the studio on his birthday brought pure joy to Kelly. “I’m just looking at you, and I’m like, ‘I can’t believe you’re here,’” she gushed. It was a heartfelt reminder of the love, laughter, and shared memories that have defined the Consuelos family through nearly three decades. ❤️
With three kids — Michael, Lola, and Joaquin — and countless on-air moments filled with laughter and warmth, Kelly and Mark continue to show fans that family truly is at the heart of everything they do.
