If there’s one thing Kelly Ripa knows, it’s how to make a lasting impression — on television, in the world of fashion, and, most importantly, at home. On the latest episode of her podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa,” the beloved morning show host invited her daughter, Lola Consuelos, for a candid, laughter-filled conversation that revealed the timeless wisdom passed from mother to daughter.
The result? A viral moment that has fans everywhere nodding in agreement — and maybe reconsidering their own wardrobe choices.
The Leggings Rule: Mother Knows Best
The June 25 episode started with a question every parent has probably wanted to ask: “Is there any piece of advice that I gave you when you were young that you thought was such bulls—, and then you were like, ‘Oh my God, my mom was right?’” Ripa, 54, asked her 23-year-old daughter.
Lola, who shares her mom’s quick wit and candor, didn’t hesitate. “You’ve given me so many meaningful pieces of advice,” she replied. “One of them being don’t wear leggings as pants. That was amazing.”
It’s a fashion rule that has divided generations — but for Lola, it’s now gospel. The irony? Ripa herself was wearing leggings during the recording. “I worked out,” she explained with a laugh. “That’s why.”
For listeners, the moment was a reminder that even celebrities struggle to follow their own advice — and that sometimes, moms really do know best.
Beyond Fashion: The Value of Kindness
The conversation quickly moved from style to substance. When asked about the most valuable non-fashion lesson she’s learned, Lola grew reflective.
“My mom taught me the importance of just being nice and respectful and kind,” she shared. “It’s been really valuable and I forget that a lot of people don’t get that foundational advice that should be like a baseline of respect. Some people don’t have that, which blows my mind. But it’s amazing that you guys raised the boys and I so amazingly.”
It’s a sentiment that resonated deeply with fans — many of whom took to social media to share their own stories of parental wisdom and the power of simple kindness.

“Stop Giving That Fluster-ness Attention”
Lola also opened up about a particularly tough time in her life, when her mother’s words made all the difference. “You were like, ‘I’m telling you, when you stop giving that fluster-ness attention, it will all fall into place,’” Lola recalled. “And I stopped giving that thing in my head attention. And lo and behold, everything got into place.”
It’s the kind of advice that sounds simple, but can be life-changing — and it’s clear that Ripa’s guidance has helped her daughter navigate the pressures of young adulthood, both in and out of the spotlight.
A Close-Knit Family — and a British Boyfriend
Of course, no conversation with the Consuelos family would be complete without a little family gossip. Lola, the middle child between brothers Joaquin and Michael, has always been close with her parents — but she’s also forging her own path.
This spring, she celebrated her anniversary with boyfriend Cassius Kidston, sharing a carousel of sweet photos on Instagram with the caption, “Another year of pure magic♡‿♡ you’re heavenly.” Both Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, left heartfelt comments, with Ripa posting, “❤️ ❤️ ” and Mark adding, “Congratulations 🎈 🎊 🎉 .”

Lola’s relationship with Kidston — a Brit — first made headlines in 2023, when Mark joked on “Live with Kelly and Mark” that Lola had “started to have a strange little inflection” after spending time in London. Ripa was quick to clarify: “She spends all of her time in London.”
Despite her famous parents, Lola has mostly kept her romance private, only occasionally sharing glimpses of her boyfriend on social media. Last summer, she posted a birthday tribute to Kidston, writing, “Twenty five has never looked this handsome. I’ll never want to know a day without you.” Ripa chimed in again, calling Kidston “the chicest of the chic!”
The Ripa-Consuelos Legacy: Kindness, Confidence, and Keeping It Real
For all their celebrity, the Ripa-Consuelos family keeps things refreshingly real. Whether it’s Kelly’s unfiltered podcast conversations or Lola’s candid Instagram posts, fans get the sense that this is a family built on love, laughter, and a willingness to learn from one another.
On the podcast, Lola made it clear how much she values her upbringing. “It’s amazing that you guys raised the boys and I so amazingly,” she told her mom. “That foundational advice — just being nice and respectful — is something I’ll always carry with me.”
And while the “leggings as pants” debate may never be settled, one thing is certain: the wisdom shared between mothers and daughters is always in style.
