Her fans were equally as excited for Sergio, with one commenting: "So much talent on one stage!" A second said: "Such a powerful talented combination. Cannot wait to see them Live! They’re going places." A third added: "Proud auntie!!"
Kelly is very close to her nephew. Sergio had a rough start in life though after he was born seven weeks early after his mother, Linda was hit by a drunk driver when she was seven months pregnant with him.
Kelly's sister sustained horrific injuries, including multiple broken bones and a crushed pelvis which pushed into her unborn son’s head.

Sergio went into a coma in utero and his mother refused anesthetic for leg surgery for fear of damaging her unborn child.
Linda later called him "a miracle baby," and told The New York Times: "We don’t know how it happened. But it did."
Kelly rarely talks about the accident but has said it's made her incredibly grateful for her husband, Mark Consuelos, and their three children, Joaquin, 18, Lola, 19, and Michael, 23.

"Every day of my life that I feel like I'm going to complain about something small, minute, I think of my sister. And it makes you appreciate what's important in life," she previously said.
"We, Mark and me, have three beautiful, healthy kids and if everything we've achieved together disappeared tomorrow, we would still have three healthy, beautiful kids. And who could ask for anything more than that?"
