During a past chat with Daily Mail, the TV host said of her children's upbringing: "We want to raise productive people who are thoughtful and selfless."

In her book, Live Wire, Kelly also talked about a conversation she had with her daughter about powering through when things get tough.
She detailed the well-documented drama that occurred during the early years of her working on the show, and her daughter was surprised to find out why her mom didn't just quit.
She said of Lola's response: "My daughter really said 'Why? Why didn't you quit?' And I said to her, 'Because we don't quit when things get tough. [Most] people don't have the option to quit when things get tough and that's not how I was raised."
Kelly continued: "That's not how I'm raising you. We don't quit just because things are hard, because things don't feel good."
All three of Kelly and Mark's children have proved that they have strong work ethics and are ambitious in their own fields. While Michael is following in his parents' footsteps as an actor, Lola is a talented singer, and Joaquin is a wrestler.
