Kelly Ripa talks about her children on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, and she revealed how her 22-year-old son moving out of the family home to Brooklyn and paying his rent on his own.
“I think he loves freedom. He hates paying his own rent and he’s chronically poor,” she said sarcastically. “I don’t think he ever really experienced extreme poverty like now.”
She said that her son who was never worried about his finances, now knows the worth of pennies and he waits for the money his grandparents send as holiday gifts to him.
“Now that he’s living on his own, he’s called three times, ‘Halloween envelope arrived?’ ” she joked. “Just so he can have electricity. He’s experiencing being an adult.”
Michael is a student at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
Besides Michael, Ripa has son Joaquin, 16, and daughter Lola, 18, with husband Mark Consuelos.
Ripa, 49, also talks about Lola, who recently started school at NYU.
The host jokingly said that Lola was ready to leave home and start school, but it didn’t take long for her to come back home.
“We drop her off on a Saturday and it is the end of summer vacation, so we go back out to Long Island for the rest of the summer,” Ripa recalled. “Drop her off on a Saturday. Sunday evening, our alarm trips. My daughter’s having a party on the roof of our house! She was gone 12 hours and came home.”
Talking about her youngest son, she said that Joaquin is “not allowed to apply to NYU.”
“He’s not allowed to apply in the Tri-State area,” she joked.
