Kelly Ripa delved into some of the hilariously awkward interactions she has with her daughter Lola Consuelos when it comes to sex.
The 53-year-old talk show host revealed on Tuesday’s episode of her podcast Let’s Talk Off Camera that the 22-year-old feels the need to remind her and her husband Mark Consuelos to ‘not get pregnant’ every time they’re about to go on vacation.
Kelly, who described her daughter as ‘provocative,’ made the humorous admission while chatting with One Tree Hill actress Hilarie Burton.
The famously svelte host and actress also claimed in the episode that the wardrobe team for her former soap opera All Of My Children poked fun at her for not being ‘smaller by now’ when she was forced to return to set just nine days after giving birth to her son Michael in 1997.
‘You got to be careful with those away trips,’ Kelly joked to Hilarie while recalling her daughter admonishing her. ‘That’s how babies are made.’
Kelly Ripa, 53, revealed Tuesday on her podcast Let’s Talk Off Camera that her daughter Lola, 22, regularly warns her and husband Mark Consuelos, 52, to ‘not get pregnant’ when they go on vacation; seen with Mark in September 2022 in NYC
Kelly described her daughter Lola as ‘provocative,’ though the talk show host admitted her daughter had been traumatized after walking in on her having sex twice on her birthdays
‘Every time I go away now, my daughter is like, “Don’t get pregnant!”‘ Kelly shared.
The Live With Kelly And Mark host added, ‘She is very funny … my daughter is so provocative.’
However, she admitted that she tries to give her smart aleck daughter a taste of her own medicine whenever she feels the need to opine on her parents’ sex life.
‘I’m like, “Don’t you get pregnant, how about that?”‘ she joked.
Lola may be so concerned about her parents’ lovemaking because of some traumatizing experiences from earlier in her life.
In August, she revealed on her podcast that Lola had walked in on her and Mark having sex before — twice — with both terribly timed incidents occurring on her birthday.
According to Kelly, Lola’s ‘ultimate horrible birthday present’ was delivered when she turned eight.
Because the family was vacationing in Italy when Lola was going to have her birthday, the morning talk show host hadn’t been able to have much intimate time with her actor husband.
They thought it was finally their chance to be alone once their three young children went to bed toward the end of the trip, until Kelly came face to face with her daughter while mid-coitus.
‘I encouraged [Mark] to lock … [the] door, and he tells me he did,’ she recalled. ‘All I know is, at a certain point, I made eye contact with my eight-year-old daughter, who is standing at the foot of the bed.’
She joked that Mark seemed to ‘vanish’ amid the embarrassment while Lola told her that she was ‘thirsty.’
‘I don’t know where he went. … [He could have been] hanging from the ceiling,’ she joked.
Although she explained to Lola that she and Mark were just having some ‘grown-up time’ together, the little girl didn’t seem too perturbed and went back to bed shortly afterward.
Things weren’t as easy on the day of Lola’s 16th birthday.
‘Same exact thing. She threw the door open,’ Kelly recounted, before noting how traumatized Lola claimed to be that time.
However, she admitted that she tries to give Lola a taste of her own medicine when she weighs in on their sex life. ‘I’m like, “Don’t you get pregnant, how about that?”‘ she joked

Things were worse when she again walked in on them on her 16th birthday. ‘”Oh my God, life is over. I used to see in color, and now everything is gray,”‘ she recalled her daughter moaning. ‘”How could you do this to me? What is wrong with you people?”‘

Kelly joked that the takeaway from her stories was that Lola had ‘never learned to knock.’
‘Hopefully, by the time she turns 24, we’ll be done having sex,’ she added, before noting that Lola opted to go out of town on her birthday for the past two years.
In addition to Lola, Kelly and Mark also share their sons Michael, 26, and Joaquin, 20.
