Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa's Teen Daughter Walked In On Them Having Sex—And Her Reaction Was Iconic
Ever have your children walk in on you and your spouse while doing the McNasty?
Ever walk in on your own parent(s)?
You're not alone.
Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos – who was stepping in for co-host Ryan Seacrest on Live With Kelly and Ryan – recounted on Monday's show about the time when their 18-year-old daughter Lola caught them doing the parallel dance under the sheets.
"It happened again," declared Consuelos, who currently stars on the CW's Riverdale. Rip and Consuelos originally met when they portrayed Mateo Santos and Hayley Vaughn on the soap opera All My Children from 1995-2002.
The two returned briefly in 2010 for the shows 40th anniversary.
The early morning deed took place on Father's Day, which is also Lola's birthday.
She certainly was not expecting to see this surprise.
Watch the two describing how it all went down in this hilarious video clip.

"We thought she knocked on our door," Consuelos said, to which an incredulous Ripa responded, "What do you mean 'you thought' she knocked on the [bedroom] door?" remembering the incident differently.
Ripa added while stifling a giggle:
"I'm gonna be honest. I wasn't in the mood. There was a house full of people."
Consuelos interjected:
"You weren't in the mood, I can tell. You were going through the motions."
The studio audience howled with laughter over their candid exchange.

@people I think that's happened to everyone at least once!! Lol— Faye (@Faye) 1560819646.0
Ripa continued to defend her lack of being present during their intimate romp.
"Any time there's other people in the house, I'm not really..."
"Relaxed," remarked Consuelos.
Ripa quoted her daughter, saying:
"You just ruined my birthday and my life. And I used to see color and now everything is gray."
I kind of love Lola’s reaction. Typical teenager, yes, but with a sarcastic NY twist. Just the kind of humor I ca… https://t.co/HfQXDQTFNd— Kristen (@Kristen) 1560815350.0
Over the "awkward brunch" that followed the wake-up call, Lola was still recovering from her unfortunate timing.
Lola apparently told the two lovebirds:
"You're disgusting. You guys have no chill. You act like you're 20, but you're not."
While Consuelos claimed Lola didn't see anything in particular, Ripa joked she was getting CPR.

Some people gasped over the 18-year-old witnessing a playback of her conception.
Twitter told them to chill.

@TMZ @TooFab This is what kids learn to knock for. Also, she's 18; where does she think SHE came from? Stork drop?— Jeanne Markowski (@Jeanne Markowski) 1560875005.0
Still, from a teenage daughter's perspective, this is a doozy.

A message to all teenagers about to barge in on their parents: when in doubt, knock.
@enews Lmaoooo then don’t walk into your parents room without knocking 😂— Lexie Paul (@Lexie Paul) 1560833448.0
@people She is a teenager. She knows her parents have sex. How else did she come into the world?— Miss Courtney (@Miss Courtney) 1560870848.0
Of course, Lola knows where she came from. But she didn't need to see that.
Umm...happy birthday!
Kelly Ripa penned the book I Love You, Mom!: A Celebration of Our Mothers and Their Gifts to Us, available here. She probably did not include the gift she gave Lola.
Sarah Michelle Gellar Just Posted A Throwback Photo With Kelly Ripa That Is So '90s It Hurts
The '90s are calling, and we're not sure if we want to pick up.
Sarah Michelle Gellar has been a household name for more than 20 years. The star of such projects as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Cruel Intentions, Gellar's work made her a poster child of sorts for millions who grew up on all three.
But did you know that she got her first big break as one of the stars of the long-running soap opera All My Children? She even won an Emmy for her work on the show. It was also where she met her good friend Kelly Ripa.
Gellar posted a throwback photo of herself with Ripa that is quintessentially '90s.
"Sometimes when I see these old pics, I don't even know where to start with the — what was I thinking?!?" Gellar captioned the pic, which shows herself and Ripa posing in jeans and black jackets.
She added:
"I mean what is my pinky even doing?? #flashbackfriday Well @kellyripa at least we co-ordinated our giant bang flip.
"Did I ever have a good hair day?" Ripa wrote to Gellar later.
Gellar replied, "Hey I have always wanted my hair to look like you — it's just perspective."
Gellar starred on All My Children as Kendall Hart from 1993-1995, while Ripa played Hayley Vaughan from 1990-2002. Ripa also met her husband, actor Mark Consuelos, when he appeared on the program.
Cheer up, Sarah. Your fans love it.
Gellar has been known to share numerous throwback photos to her social media accounts.
Here she is with the main cast of Cruel Intentions, serving up 1990s realness. It's been 20 years––can you believe it?
And how could you not love her response to the #TenYearChallenge?
She and her husband, actor Freddie Prinze Jr., are still madly in love.
And look, it's Sarah with the cast of Dawson's Creek!
Where has the time gone?! We need to lie down.
