Kelly Ripa just had the most relatable Mother’s Day a celebrity has ever had — and it all started with one chaotic text from her Broadway actor son, Joaquin Consuelos.
Instead of a five-star brunch or extravagant gifts, Kelly spent her Mother’s Day eating McDonald’s at home — Big Mac, large fries, and all. And honestly? She said it was one of the best Mother’s Days she’s had in years. In this video, we’re breaking down the hilarious behind-the-scenes story of how it all happened, from Joaquin texting his mom backstage on Broadway (slightly confusing Mother’s Day with her birthday) to al shabab fc vs al-nassr standings Mark Consuelos questioning whether a Quarter Pounder is actually a quarter pound.
We’re also getting into why this story hits deeper than it looks — Joaquin is currently starring in the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman alongside Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf, and the fact that he still made time to think about his mom from backstage says everything about this family.
Plus, if you know anything about Kelly Ripa’s actual daily diet — green juice, microgreens salad, steamed vegetables — you’ll understand exactly why a Big Mac is practically a national holiday in that household.
It’s funny, it’s wholesome, and it’s the celebrity story we all needed rasmus dahlin this week.
