And they're off! The Consuelos kids are all grown up — and all moved out of their parents' house. Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa share four children, Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22, and just like any other normal parents, they got hit hard with Empty Nest Syndrome when their youngest left for college.
Consuelos was a featured guest on The View on Wednesday, July 23, to talk about his new sports docuseries, Running With Wolves, which focuses on the team they bought when Joaquin left home!
The Live With Kelly and Mark co-host joked that buying the Italian soccer club Campobasso FC was how they coped with an empty house after more than two decades of raising children, but he also revealed that their youngest son leaving home made them both feel "heavy" and "sad" at first.
"It hit us about a month leading up to sending him off to college," the actor-turned-talk-show-host shared. "And then a couple days after we dropped him off, it was heavy for me. And then Kelly said, 'What are we doing? Let's go.' And we went to a beach out on Long Island, and we were feeling sad. And then we saw a little family with seven kids and two families searching for all the little lost shoes on the beach. And we just said, 'Suckers!'"
Well isn't that the truth? Anyone who has parented young kids knows the drama of not being able to find shoes, not to mention the pure chaos of outings with young children.

We also love how smitten Mark is with his wife of 29 years. Elsewhere in his interview, he explained what he loves most about hosting Live with Kelly. He said, "I think it's the chemistry. I think it works because she's amazing, and I know that when I do a show with her, I'm going to be safe, and she won't let me fail."
He continued, "When I was a guest host with her, it was so easy. I'd get woken up, it was 7:30, and someone's like, 'Hey, you want to do the show? Someone's sick?' I'd say, 'Sure.' And I didn't have to really do anything. I just smiled. And the first 20 minutes, she carries, and then when I got the job, it became a little more serious. I learned how to interview people. I'm still learning. I learned how to read off the teleprompter, which I can't read very well. It's hard!"
We think you're doing great, Mark! Keep it up, and please keep up the stories about your family, because we are absolutely here for them.
