Kelly Ripa is a doting mom to three grown-up children, and her firstborn, Michael Consuelos, 25, is following in his parents' footsteps as an actor.
The talented star has stepped into the spotlight of late, and is regularly updating his social media with new photos related to his work.
Most recently, the actor took to Instagram to share a dapper picture of himself dressed in a smart suit while posing at home, alongside the caption: "Disorientated, Drowsy, Decently Dressed."
The majority of the comments all said the same thing too - that Michael was the spitting image of his famous father. "You look just like your dad," one wrote, while another commented: "Looking like daddy!" A third added: "I seriously thought this was a younger picture of your dad."
Michael is the couple's oldest child. They are also parents to 21-year-old daughter Lola and 20-year-old son Joaquin. Michael has been enjoying success with a number of projects over the past year, including playing a young Hiram Lodge on Riverdale alongside his famous dad.

The synopsis for the series reads: "A scientific breakthrough's life-altering side effects bitterly divide a once close-knit small-town community."

"I know that Michael graduated college in May of 2020 and he had a writing job lined up which evaporated because the pandemic shut down the production and it just never came back."
