Kelly Ripa Reveals Why Her Three Children Give Her a ‘Temporary Blocking’ on Instagram

Kelly Ripa is the Queen of oversharing (which is one of the many reasons why we love her). After her husband, Mark Consuelos, joined her talk show, that’s only been amped up; however, their kids don’t seem to mind. But there is something they draw the line at, and it’s something Ripa has been “temporarily blocked” for quite a few times.

Ripa recently revealed to E! News that her three kids actually block her on social media, but always end up lifting the ban after a certain amount of time.

“Usually, if I comment on one of the two of their social media posts, I will get a temporary blocking,” she said. “Then, the ban gets lifted and I’m reinstated. But I’m like, ‘Why can’t you guys be like the other kids on social media? They happily allow their parents in there.’”

While Ripa is no stranger to giving all the details about the intimate parts of her life, it’s the commenting that the kids can’t handle. While they can handle the oversharing, they don’t seem to enjoy the comments. Honestly, that’s kind of hysterical, and adorable.

For those who don’t know, Ripa and Consuelos met in 1995 on the set of All My Children. They eloped a year later and welcomed three children: Michael Joseph, born in June 1997, Lola Grace, born in June 2001, and Joaquin Antonio, born in February 2003.

In a previous interview with SheKnows, Ripa told us if her three kids listen to her parenting advice. “Absolutely very rarely do they listen to any advice we have,” she said. “I think our boys listen to our advice a lot more than our daughter, but our daughter is a lot more likely to tell us that we were right when she’s made a mistake. She’ll say, ‘You were right, I should have done x,y, or z’.”
