Kelly Ripa It is Marcos Consuelos are not interested in keeping the name Lola, just because that is the name of their only daughter, Lola Consuelos.
On Wednesday’s episode of Live with Kelly and MarkThe couple and co-hosts talked about baby names and the rules surrounding them. Ripa shared a story about the comedian Chris Rocha coming to her when it was time to name her own child.
“There’s a really funny story. Chris Rock called me when he was expecting his first daughter — I had just had Lola — and he said, ‘Listen, Malaak and I are thinking about naming the baby Lola, and we want to check in with you to make sure that’s okay,'” Ripa recalled.
Ripa had no problem with Rock using the name and even wished she could borrow part of her daughter’s moniker for her own Lola.
“I was like, ‘First of all, I don’t own the name Lola, I didn’t trademark it. And second of all, we can all agree that Lola Rock is an awesome name,'” Ripa added. “Like, ‘Do you mind if I change the last name from Lola to Rock?'”
As for Rock, he has daughters Lola, 22, and Zahra, 20, with his ex-wife, Malaak Compton-Rock.
Consuelos praised Rock for his “very polite” attitude, and Ripa said it was completely unnecessary.
“It is, but it never occurred to me,” she observed. “I don’t even… I’m not the only Kelly, you’re not the only Mark.”
In addition to Lola, 23, Ripa and Consuelos are also parents to sons Michael, 27, and Joaquin, 21.
In 2023, Lola spoke to ET about her famous parents sharing details about their private lives on her daytime talk show.
“They know me inside and out, so I think they know at this point what line they should and shouldn’t cross,” Lola said of her parents. “… They never really cross a line. We have a very respectful relationship, so there’s never been a real moment where I’m like, ‘Oh my God, why would you share that?'”
In March, ET also spoke to Ripa and Consuelos about how long they plan to work together on Live with Kelly and Mark.
“Until it’s not fun anymore,” Consuelos told ET of their working relationship.
“Honestly, I’ve spent my life with it, I can do things with it for decades,” Ripa added. “I think decades is your answer.”
