"How does that change mom's view of Lola now that she's 21 and totally legal for everything," Ryan asked, to which Kelly responded: "I said to her 'you can finally have a cocktail.'"
He then quizzed her on the celebration for Lola, with Kelly revealing that her daughter was currently in Europe looking for an apartment for her study abroad program.

The ABC star then explained that she went through a tough time trying to find pre-approved photographs of her daughter she could post on her Instagram to mark the occasion.
"There's a reason I go through these social media blackouts," she shared, giggling. "It's because I've been forbidden to post anything from those monsters that I raised!"

She then turned the tables on her kids by explaining that she'd still end up showing pictures of her kids on the show instead.
"They never seem to realize that what doesn't pass the sniff test on social just gets shown here. It's the blessing of my kids having no idea what I do for a living."
