Kelly Ripa Says Mother's Day Turned Into a McDonald's Night After Son's Backstage Text

The easygoing choice highlights the couple's practice of sharing family moments across platforms.

Overview

  • Ripa and Consuelos, recounting the holiday on Monday’s Live With Kelly and Mark, said their youngest, Joaquin, texted from backstage at Death of a Salesman and pitched McDonald’s.
  • Ripa told viewers she ordered a Big Mac with large fries and called the break from routine “so fun.”
  • The couple joked that the burgers seemed smaller than they remembered, with Consuelos questioning his Quarter Pounder and Ripa noting the Big Mac.
  • At home, Ripa briefly set the table with real plates before deciding the fast-food boxes were enough, which she said made cleanup “trash, done.”
  • A day earlier on Instagram, the family marked Mother’s Day with throwback photos and tributes, including posts from Michael and Lola to their mom.
