Sources close to the Ripa-Consuelos family indicate that longtime television host Kelly Ripa was both shocked and angry after her daughter, Lola Consuelos, 23, disclosed her pregnancy. Insiders suggest that what particularly distressed Kelly is the fact that Lola is unmarried and currently resides in London with her British boyfriend, Cassius Kidston, who hails from a prominent and influential sports family.

Lola and Cassius publicly acknowledged their relationship in 2023 while they were both attending New York University. However, a family insider has reported that Kelly feels Lola is too young to become a mother and is concerned that her daughter is being drawn into a glamorous yet precarious lifestyle.

“Kelly always envisioned that Lola would build a stable career prior to starting a family,” the source stated. “She does not have any personal objections to Cassius, but this pregnancy was not part of anyone’s plans.”

Cassius Kidston, 26, is the son of a prominent sports entrepreneur in the UK and is currently employed at a leading sports talent agency. He is described as calm, charming, and devoted to Lola. Reports indicate that he met with Kelly and her husband, Mark Consuelos, to privately share the news, but the reaction was not favorable.

While Kelly is reportedly beginning to accept the situation, she remains uncertain about her daughter’s choice. Observers have noted that Kelly has recently ceased posting about Lola on social media, which has sparked speculation regarding potential tension within the family.

In the meantime, Lola appears to be content with her new life in London. She recently shared a photo on her Instagram holding Cassius’s hand, with the caption: “Our little family is growing every day.”

At this time, neither Kelly Ripa nor any official family representatives have issued a public statement.
