Kelly and Mark celebrated Joaquin's graduation on Friday
Kelly documented much of the day on her Stories, posting pictures of Joaquin, 18, alongside his classmates, and one of him with his arms around commencement speaker, Gayle King.
One poignant photo showed Kelly and Mark's hands clutching onto a programme of the day's events, which she captioned: "The empty nesters."
While the couple's two oldest children, Michael, 24, and Lola, 19, both study close to home in New York, Joaquin is set to change things up in the family as he will be attending the University of Michigan in September.

Earlier this month, Kelly shared a photo of Joaquin and Mark walking around the campus of the university.
While Joaquin looked happy, Mark looked a little sad, and Kelly wrote in the caption: "Looks like @instasuelos just found out he won't be @joaquinconsuelos roommate in the fall."
Kelly and Mark will no doubt miss having Joaquin close to home but will have a wonderful time visiting him. The University of Michigan is popular with many high-profile celebrity children, including Barack and Michelle Obama's youngest daughter Sasha.
