While Michael was absent from the appearance, he was mentioned. Kelly's lookalike daughter Lola stole the show with a fun quip which got both her mom and Ryan Seacrest chuckling. 

Michael is striving to make his way in the film industry, while Lola is an aspiring singer, currently spending some time abroad. Their youngest, Joaquin, is studying at university in Michigan and it's clear Kelly and Mark are proud of their brood. Not that they'll spoonfeed them their futures!

Kelly and Mark are now empty-nesters

"Your son lives in Brooklyn now," the chat show host said, to which she replied: "He lives in Bushwick. "She continued: "I think he loves the freedom, he hates paying his own rent and he is chronically poor. I don't think he ever really experienced extreme poverty like now."

She has also said: "I didn't grow up privileged and neither did @instasuelos. We work and we expect our kids to as well."
