Kelly Ripa recreates a hilarious family picture from 2003 with her kids: ‘Objects may appear larger’

While a lot has changed in the last seventeen years, Kelly Ripa rewound time by recreating a hilarious family photo with her three children on Thursday. 

In the original snap, the 49-year-old television host could be seen holding her crying baby Joaquin, now 17, with her two eldest children closely surrounding her. 

‘TBT 2003 vs. 2020 *Objects may appear larger’ the All My Children alum joked of the iconic throwback, which featured her sporting a sullen expression on the beach.  

While her husband Mark Consuelos was not pictured, he captured his wife’s exhausted expression, as well as their adorable son Michael, 23, who opted to stare straight into the camera.    

Just like the initial picture, the pair’s 19-year-old daughter, Lola, posed with her back facing the camera. 

While Ripa’s now-teenager sat in her lap and pouted, she perfectly mirrored her old look by going makeup free and styling her blonde tresses in a tousled bun.

‘️Like it was yesterday,’ the hunky Riverdale star, 49, gushed in his wife’s comment section with a number of heart emojis. 

She previously shared this throwback shot in 2018, and cheekily captioned the shot, ‘A #tbt 2003 reminder: “a vacation with your kids is a trip, not a vacation.’ 

Earlier this month, the lovebirds and children graced the cover of People’s first Family Issue.   

Inside the magazine the family dished about their life together and Kelly revealed Lola has taught her ‘so much about being a modern-day woman.’

The chat show icon shared: ‘It really gives me hope – her generation really supports each other, the way she and her friends have each other’s backs.’

Kelly continued: ‘For all the talk about women helping other women, I see it in her generation in a way I never have before.’ 

She confessed: ‘I think I had definitive ideas about raising girls versus raising boys, even though I don’t really believe in gender stereotyping.’

However on becoming a mother she discovered: ‘My sons are just as sensitive as my daughter, and my daughter is as strong as my sons.’

Mark has experienced personal growth as well with regards to fatherhood, developing a trusting relationship with Lola.

‘As overprotective as I thought I would be when she was born and I was holding her in my arms, I’ve mellowed a bit. Because I’m really aware of what a good head on her shoulders she has,’ revealed the Riverdale dreamboat.

The sons are a source of wisdom as well as ‘You’ll have conversations with Joaquin where you realize you’ve just learned something new about the way he thinks.’

Parents and children alike seemed to be united in the belief that there are huge benefits to being a younger sibling.
