Kelly Ripa Hears from Mark Consuelos He Doesn’t Want Any More Kids

Mark Consuelos has expressed his anticipation of becoming a grandfather in the future, despite his decision not to have more children. In a sneak peek from Kelly Ripa’s upcoming podcast, “Let’s Chat Off Camera with Kelly Ripa,” she asks her husband if he would consider remarrying. Consuelos, 51, firmly states that he won’t marry again because he has no intention of having more children.

In the podcast snippet, Consuelos mentions that he doesn’t want any more kids and is prepared to be an older father. Ripa inquires about older men starting families, to which Consuelos humorously remarks about the challenges they might face with hip and knee replacements. Despite acknowledging that it was a bit early for them to have children, he reflects on their fortunate journey as parents.

However, when Ripa asks about being a grandfather, Consuelos admits he isn’t looking forward to it, emphasizing his desire not to be “parented any more than that.” The couple already has three children – Michael, 25, Lola, 21, and Joaquin, 20.

In a previous Instagram Story, Ripa shared throwback photos in celebration of their son Joaquin’s 20th birthday, expressing how quickly time has passed. On her talk show, “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” she reflected on watching her children grow up in what felt like a “flash.”

During the morning talk show, Ripa celebrated Joaquin’s birthday, marveling at the journey of raising three wonderful children. She and Consuelos expressed happiness and pride in their accomplishments, grateful that they started their family when they did.

“Let’s Chat Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” is produced by Consuelos and Ripa’s Milojo Productions in collaboration with SiriusXM. The podcast’s first episode, featuring guests like Matthew McConaughey, Andy Cohen, Carol Burnett, and Anderson Cooper, is set to debut on March 22.
