Kelly Ripa Stuns in a Rare Appearance With Her Son

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ son, Joaquin, made his Broadway debut in the revival of Death of a Salesman.

Kelly went on Instagram to write a rare tribute on how incredible it was to see her son star on Broadway.

This is Joaquin’s first acting gig since he graduated college in May 2025.

It’s not often Kelly Ripa has a public photo op with one of her kids. But an exception was just made—and it’s for the best reason.

The Live With Kelly and Mark star has a lot to celebrate lately, between her busy work schedule, her husband Mark Consuelos’ Broadway debut in Fallen Angels, and their upcoming wedding anniversary on May 1And while the couple has a lot going on in their lives, it turns out their youngest son, Joaquin (the duo also share son Michael and daughter Lola), is having his own big moment, too.

Joaquin is starring in his first professional acting gig since graduating college in May 2025 by way of his official Broadway debut in the revival of Death of a Salesman. And when the show officially opened on April 9, Kelly shared photos of her and Mark supporting Joaquin onher official Instagram.

“Scenes from opening night of the brilliant @salesmanonbroadway directed by the incomparable Joe Mantello,” she wrote in the caption. “Congratulations to the entire cast and crew on this astonishing revival, and to @joaquinconsuelos on your Broadway debut!”

And just like Kelly and Mark, fans were ecstatic about seeing their son’s new gig.

“This is amazing and so cool! I can’t imagine! Congratulations,” one person wrote in the comments. “Congratulations!!! 🎉 @joaquinconsuelos is simply incredible ❤️👏 … run to see @salesmanonbroadway ❤️,” another agreed. “That’s so cool 😎! Congratulations to the Consuelos familia! ❤️,” a different follower added.

Fans first heard about Joaquin’s Broadway role when Kelly opened up on her show about not being able to see him during previews. But Mark did have the chance to watch Joaquin on stage during that, and shared it with Kelly and the audience.

“He’s amazing. He did such a good job,” Mark stated during a March 10 taping of Live With Kelly and Mark, per People. “I was watching him with a smile on my face. And [I] cried.”

We love this for them!
