Kelly Ripa may have a tight-knit relationship with her children, but they are not afraid to set some boundaries with her.
The LIVE with Kelly & Mark host and her co-host Mark Consuelos, her husband since 1996, share three children: Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquín, 21.
Fans of the family are no strangers to seeing some of their sweetest moments displayed on social media, however the All My Children alum has revealed that there are some limitations her kids have established when it comes to her interactions with them on Instagram.
Speaking with E! News, Kelly revealed that while she loves to support her kids' Instagram posts — like she recently did with a beach photo of her daughter Lola — it can come at a price.
"Usually, if I comment on one of the two of their social media posts, I will get a temporary blocking," the doting mom confessed.
She added: "Then, the ban gets lifted and I'm reinstated. But I'm like, 'Why can't you guys be like the other kids on social media? They happily allow their parents in there.'"

In tune with the "demure" trend started by TikTok influencer Jools Lebron, Kelly took to the comments section under the post and replied: "It's very mindful."

Her mom previously opened up about her return home in a July 29 episode of LIVE, joking that "hurricane Lola blew back into town."

"No, I'm very disappointed, like I thought she'd be full British by now," she further joked, and explained: "She doesn't speak with a British accent, but she says British things [...] I love it, but what's funny is that all of our friends and all of her friends think she sounds fully British."
