Kelly Ripa is a doting mom to three grown-up children, and just like all parents - she's not afraid to embarrass them every now and then!

On Monday, the Live star's oldest child, Michael Consuelos, 25, took to Instagram to share a photo of himself posing on the beach. He wrote alongside it: "100% not posing. Didn't even know there was a camera there."

Kelly was quick to respond to his picture with a witty remark, writing: "A very candid not at all posed pic. I approve."

He also added: "Also, you know, it was offered to me – and when you are starting out, when something is offered, you take it. It was kind of a no-brainer for me."

Kelly and Mark have three children who are now grown up 

Though he did have his parents help when it came to casting, he maintained that's about as hands-on as they were, admitting that they are in no way "momagers."

He said: "They weren't micromanaging everything, they trusted my ability to deliver what they wanted for the character. I'm very proud of it," adding that: "I'm proud that I got to work with them. Hopefully again sometime... it was a real treat."

Michael also previously starred alongside his father in Riverdale, where he played the younger version of Mark's character, Hiram Lodge.
