Kelly Ripa is so much more than an iconic TV host and longtime soap star. She’s a doting mom of three to kids Michael, Joaquin, and Lola Consuelos. She’s one-half of Hollywood’s hottest couple. She’s a human beam of sunshine. And today, she’s 50 years old (happy birthday!), marking five decades of Kelly Ripa gold we’ve been granted by this lovable star. Whether you first fell in love with Ripa on All My Children or stumbled across her on Live with Kelly and Ryan, the age of Kelly Ripa’s reign in entertainment is far from over, and we’re so happy to welcome you to the fandom.
