5 Shocking Ways Kelly Ripa’s Daughter Lola Consuelos Is Ditching Hollywood For A Global Music Career In 2025
Kelly Ripa’s daughter, Lola Consuelos, is no longer just the middle child of a daytime talk show icon and a soap opera star; she has officially cemented her status as an independent R&B artist and a global citizen. As of late December 2025, the 24-year-old has been making headlines not for her famous family, but for her own burgeoning music career and her surprising life across the pond in London, leading a life that is dramatically different from the New York City spotlight her parents inhabit.
The transition from a college student in New York to a singer-songwriter based in the U.K. marks a pivotal moment for Lola. Her recent career moves, including the highly anticipated release of her debut EP, have captured the attention of fans and, perhaps more surprisingly, have given her famously close-knit family a whole new set of parenting challenges, including a recent, tear-jerking surprise visit and a bold request to buy a "castle."

The London Life and the 'Castle' Request: Lola’s Global Shift
Lola’s choice to relocate to London after graduating from NYU has been the source of many recent anecdotes on her mother’s talk show. While her older brother, Michael, is pursuing an acting career in New York, and her younger brother, Joaquin, is focused on college and wrestling, Lola has embraced an international lifestyle, putting distance between herself and the ever-present New York media spotlight.
1. The Surprise Visit That Went Viral
In a truly heartwarming moment in late 2025, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos flew to London to surprise Lola for her debut live performance. The emotional reunion highlighted the challenges of having a child living abroad, with Kelly often discussing the "empty nest" syndrome on Live with Kelly and Mark. The surprise, which took place at a venue like Berners Tavern, showed that despite her independence, the bond with her famous parents remains incredibly strong.
2. The Attempt to Lure Her Parents to the U.K.
Perhaps the most shocking recent development is Lola's active campaign to convince her parents to join her permanently in the U.K. In December 2025, Kelly Ripa revealed that Lola has been trying to persuade them to move to London and even buy a "castle." This humorous but persistent plea underscores how much Lola has settled into her new life and how she is enjoying the cultural shift away from the U.S. East Coast.
3. A Viral Cover and a New Kind of Fame
Lola first went viral in May 2024 for her cover of Sabrina Carpenter's hit song "Espresso." This moment served as a major turning point, moving her from being "Kelly Ripa's daughter" to a recognized musical talent. Her cover was praised for its R&B flair and vocal maturity, signaling her serious commitment to her chosen genre.
Inside Lola’s New Music Era: The 'Sorry, It's All About Me' EP
Lola's career is set to explode in early 2026 with the release of her debut EP, *Sorry, It's All About Me*, which she has been teasing throughout late 2025. Her music is a blend of pop and R&B, a sound she honed during her time at the Clive Davis Institute.
4. The Bold and Relatable Single Titles
The upcoming EP features a series of bold, self-assured tracks that reflect a new era of confidence and artistic clarity. The tracklist includes highly anticipated singles such as "Sexier," "Not Like You," and "Hypochondriac," all of which suggest a theme of modern relationships and self-discovery. A single titled "Lola (2025)" is also expected, promising a highly personal and defining statement from the artist.
5. Kelly Ripa’s 'Mom' Managerial Style
While Lola is independent, she still has her mother in her corner, albeit with a characteristically direct approach. In a recent social media exchange, Kelly Ripa jumped into the comments of one of Lola's posts with a very "mom" demand: "No I said release the music." This supportive but pushy enthusiasm shows Kelly's pride, even as she admits her three children are often "critically mortified" by their parents' public antics.
Mark Consuelos has also publicly supported his daughter's career, sharing his excitement over her announcements. While the family group chat, affectionately nicknamed "Fam Innit," is a source of shared embarrassment for the Consuelos children, it remains the central hub for their global communication.
The Consuelos Parenting Dynamic: Strict Rules and Full Support
The relationship between Kelly, Mark, and Lola is characterized by a mix of strict rules and unwavering support, a dynamic that shaped Lola into the independent artist she is today. Kelly Ripa has often spoken on her show about her "strict parenting style," especially concerning Lola’s teenage years.
For example, Kelly famously recounted a "brutal" memory of dropping Lola off at NYU and the emotional toll it took. Mark Consuelos, while once admitting to being "overprotective," has clearly softened as Lola has matured and demonstrated her ability to navigate life in a major city like London.
Today, as Lola Consuelos stands on the precipice of a major career breakthrough, her story is less about being a celebrity child and more about an ambitious young woman who used her education at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts to launch an authentic R&B career. With her debut EP *Sorry, It's All About Me* on the horizon and a vibrant new life in the U.K., Lola is proving that the biggest star in the Consuelos family might just be the one who chose the most unique path.
