Kelly Ripa’s ‘beautiful’ son Joaquin breaks hearts with new beach photos

With Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos as parents there was little doubt their kids would inherit some good genes, but fans were still blown away by their son Joaquin’s beauty in his latest snapshot of life 

The youngest of the Consuelos clan shared photos of himself enjoying a beach break sparking quite a reaction from his social media followers. 

Joaquin, 23, was enjoying a beachside meal in the images with the blue sky and crystal clear waters behind him.

In the first photo, he stood tall alongside sunloungers wearing a patterned shirt and with his hair slicked away from his chiseled face. He sported a deep tan and dimples and looked like the perfect blend of his famous parents.

He simply captioned the post: “Eatin good,” but not many fans were taking note of what he was eating. Instead, they remarked on his good looks with one declaring: “That boy is beautiful,” and many others mirroring the statement.

Others made reference to Kelly and Mark’s two other gorgeous children, Lola, 24, and Michael, 28, and declared: “All 3 of them are gorgeous,” before adding: “But Joaquin is something else.”

Joaquin is enjoying some rest and relaxation before he hits Broadway! He’s been newly cast in an upcoming revival of the famed play Death of a Salesman on Broadway with opening night taking place on April 9. 

This is only the second mainstream project for the young actor, who graduated from the University of Michigan in the spring of 2025.

Talent runs in the family as Joaquin’s older brother is an actor, writer and producer, and his sister Lola, is a musician who released her debut EP in December.

Despite Kelly and Mark’s impressive net worth, they’ve also pushed their children to carve their own path to success. 

They’ve often spoken about how they instilled financial independence despite their immense wealth. Kelly told Amanda Hirsch on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast that while her children didn’t come away from college with debt, they have earned their own money since they were young. 

“We kept their worlds really normal when they were young,” Kelly said. “They always, from the earliest ages they could, had part time jobs, always. And, in their friend circle, they were the only ones to have jobs.”

She added: “I didn’t grow up privileged and neither did [Mark]. We work and we expect our kids to as well.”
