Kelly Ripa Shares Glimpse Inside Mother-Daughter Trip to London With Lola Consuelos-InfoExpress
It's live with Kelly and Lola.
Kelly Ripa gave followers a look at her weekend getaway to London with her and husband Mark Consuelos' daughter Lola Consuelos.
The talk show host posted a picture to her Instagram Story on Oct. 22 of herself and Lola leaning their heads against one another as they smiled for the camera.
The mother-daughter-duo kept it fresh faced, with Kelly rocking a patterned scarf, a slicked-back bun and diamond earrings, while the 22-year-old wore a black coat with her brown hair loosely framing her face.
Kelly wrote above the snap, "With my [heart emoji]."
As for the reason behind the trip? As the 53-year-old explained on the Oct. 23 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, per People, "I was in London, our daughter—as you know—is moving to London, so I went to help her find a flat."
Telling her co-host and husband about British slang, Kelly continued, "We all speak English but our languages are completely separate. The terminology. You're not a renter, you're a letter. So when they were talking about ‘letting,' I was like, ‘What are we letting? What are we about to let happen?'"
And apartment hunting aside, Kelly—who also shares sons Michael, 26, and Joaquin, 20, with Mark—gushed over how the trip was much needed.
"We were saying that we've never had just a mother-daughter trip, just the two of us, that didn't involve either, work or some sporting event or being surrounded by other kids or a younger sibling or an older sibling," the All My Children alum confessed. "It was just us. We had the best time. She is so much fun."
And Mark was more than happy to have his favorite ladies get some quality time together.
"It's nice that you got to spend time, like, a girls trip with your daughter," he noted. "That's so cool."
Kelly added, "We get to visit our daughter in London, which is a great excuse to go to London!" to which Mark replied, "I'm so glad you had that time together. That's really, really special."
And as Lola embarks on her new journey across the pond, it's safe to say she'll have mom and dad's voice in the back of her head at times.
Back in July, Lola took a moment to praise her parents for instilling a good work ethic in her and advising her to always "be respectful."
"I've always seen them stay really true to themselves and authentic and grounded," she told E! News. "That's the best advice and It's not even advice because I have grown up watching them work like that. I am really grateful to have them as built-in mentors, I don't even have to pay for them. They've just been there."

For the first September in at least 20 years that she didn't have a kid to see off to school, Kelly filled the void with a throwback from 2008.
Looks like Michael's about to get the drop on his little sister in this pic their dad shared on Lola's 19th birthday in 2020.
Joaquin is surrounded by love at his high school graduation.
"Looks like @instasuelos just found out he won't be @joaquinconsuelos roommate in the fall," Kelly teased during a trip to Ann Arbor before Joaquin started at University of Michigan.
Kelly took a few days off in March 2022 to watch the Wolverines compete in the Division 1 Wrestling Championships in Detroit.
Still a freshman, Joaquin didn't wrestle this time, but still, Kelly said on Live upon her return, "It took years off my life watching these young men."
The whole family finally made it to Greece and Italy in June 2021 after the pandemic had other plans in 2020.
"Last year's graduation trip for our oldest son and niece was delayed long enough to become a graduation trip for the family newborns as well," Kelly shared.
This family pic from their Mediterranean getaway turned out so well, Kelly made it their 2021 holiday card.
"Happy Easter from the year 2012 because Lola approved this photo," Kelly captioned this throwback, never missing a chance to tease her perpetually appalled teen on social media.
Mark wished the "spectacular women" in his life a happy International Women's Day.
"Happy Valentine's Day to the loves of my life!" Kelly wrote from the heart on Feb. 14, 2022.
Kelly celebrated the fruits of her labor on National Sons Day, Sept. 28, 2021.
Kelly and Mark's eldest child, son Michael Consuelos, 24 at the time, posted this sweet throwback photo of him and his mom on her 51st birthday in 2021, writing, "Happy Birthday, Mom!! I hope you have the greatest day ever. You're a badass and an inspiration to everyone. Also, when I call you a T. Rex, I mean it as a compliment. You should know that by now."
In August 2020, Kelly Ripa shared an epic recreation of an old family photo from 2003 on Instagram. With youngest son Joaquin on her lap and older kids Michael and Lola perfectly in place, we'd say they nailed it despite the fact that, as Kelly noted, "objects may appear larger."
In May 2020, Kelly and Mark celebrated eldest son Michael's graduation—albeit a virtual one, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic—from New York University. Marking the occasion, Kelly wrote on Instagram, "And just like that you graduated college. MJC, the joy and pride you have brought our family is indescribable. I love you with all my heart."
From kids to teenagers! "#tbt 2011 vs. 2019 Les murs sont devenus plus petits," Kelly shared in an Instagram post that showed just how much her kids have grown.
"The Graduate #2019," Kelly wrote on Instagram celebrating Lola's final days of high school.
Kelly receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015 was an all-hands-on-deck event.
Kelly matched her son's gown and the flowers at Joaquin's middle school graduation.
When your family is this beautiful, you would likely be posing for selfies more often than not too.
Holidays always bring family together and this famous crew is no exception.
Back in 2003, Kelly and husband Mark Consuelos celebrated the opening night for A Year With Frog and Toad at Maxine's in New York City.
Back in 2001, Mark and Kelly took their son to the ATLANTIS The Lost Empire premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.
Whether they are traveling somewhere hot and tropical or cool and snowy, this family always knows how to have a good time.
