David Muir has made no secret of his close friendship with Kelly Ripa and has been very supportive of the Live! host over the years. 

It seems as though the 20/20 anchor is just as friendly with Kelly's family too as he recently showed his support for her daughter, Lola, in an Instagram Story posted on Saturday.

David and Kelly share a close friendship

David clearly enjoys a close relationship with the Consuelos family and often spends weekends by the pool and barbeque with Kelly, Mark and their brood. 

While appearing on a previous episode of Live!, Kelly and David spoke of their friendship and the actress revealed how popular the host is with her children. "You are a great grill master, your cheeseburgers are delicious," the All My Children star gushed. "Joaquin would rather eat at David's than anywhere else on earth."

Kelly even paid tribute to David in her debut book, Live Wire. In the acknowledgments section, in which she referenced members of her family and close friends, Kelly wrote of the journalist: "To David Muir, you are the backbone and moral compass I need sometimes."

David often enjoys weekends with Kelly and her family

David is a big supporter of the Consuelos clan, which is clear to see from his recent post dedicated to Lola. However, the aspiring singer has also found words of encouragement in her two brothers, Michael, 26, and Joaquin, 20. 

Speaking to People ahead of the release of her new song, the songwriter said: "My brothers are so supportive. I love when they compliment my music, because my brothers and I don't really talk about music a lot, so when I know that they like something, I'm like, 'Yes! I got the boys' approval, finally.' You are validating my cool!"
