Kelly Ripa’s daughter Lola Consuelos shared some rare insights into her relationship with her mom.
During a recent chat on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, the 24-year-old opened up about her bond with her parents and how it has evolved over the years.
“When I went to university my first year, I was not happy at all,” Lola told Ripa on the June 24 episode.“I was going through a bit of a thing and I really felt like the only people I could speak to were my parents.”
Lola admitted that the shift in her life from high school to college made her realize her parents' wise words are more important than anyone else’s, “That's when I started really feeling like I didn't really want anyone else's opinion but my parents’.”
The Paranoia Silverlining singer also pointed out that parents should also grow up with kids and as they grow up into adults they need to shift their perspective too.
“Parents have to grow as well,” Lola continued, “and understand that when your child is an adult, we can make our own decisions for ourselves and live with them.”
“When you're growing up, your parents are always like, ‘I’m just telling you, when you're older you're gonna wish you listened to me,’” Lola noted. “There's so many times in my life where I'm now like, ‘Oh my god, I completely get it.’”
“When I have children one day, I'll probably say the same thing to them. That will be the cycle,” she added.
