Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ daughter, Lola Consuelos, recently shared a rare glimpse into her relationship with her boyfriend, Cassius Kidston, in celebration of his 25th birthday. The 23-year-old singer took to Instagram to post a series of heartwarming photos, giving fans an intimate look at their relationship.
The first photo in the series showed the couple dressed up for a formal event, with Kidston standing behind Lola and placing his hands on her shoulders. Another photo captured them at a tropical destination, wearing matching sweaters embroidered with “pooch” and “smooch.” Lola also included some playful shots, such as one of Kidston wearing a gray furry jacket and a fuzzy pink hat while taking a phone call.
Lola rounded out the photo collection with a snap of her wrapping her arms around Kidston on a bike and a picture of them intertwined on a couch, sharing a kiss. She captioned the photos, “Twenty-five has never looked this handsome!!! I’ll never want to know a day without you🦦.” Kidston responded in the comments, “To many more years together. l love you 🦦.”
Lola’s mom, Kelly Ripa, also chimed in with a sweet message, writing, “Happy birthday to the chicest of the chic! ✨✨✨.” The couple currently resides in London, where Lola is pursuing her singing career. Kidston recently completed a sport talent sales internship with the Creative Artists Agency, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Although it’s unclear how long Lola and Kidston have been dating, they both attended New York University. Lola has generally kept her relationship private on social media, primarily using her platforms to share videos of her singing. However, she has started to incorporate Kidston into some of her TikTok videos, where they voice over popular sounds and dance together.
The “Live with Kelly and Mark” co-hosts have previously discussed their daughter’s move to London and have visited her several times over the past year. Lola has also flown back to New York City a few times, including over Christmas break when she and her brother Michael, 27, joined their parents on an episode of their talk show. The couple also shares a son, Joaquin, 21, who is studying at the University of Michigan.
Lola’s Instagram post marks a rare move for the singer, who graduated from New York University last year. She shared a series of loved-up photos with Kidston to mark his birthday, featuring moments of them traveling Europe together and packing on the PDA. In one image, Lola can be seen smiling while Kidston stands behind her with his hands on her shoulders. Another snap shows them in a tropical destination, looking glamorous as they pose in front of an elevator. Lola also included a photo of them sharing a bike ride and concluded the slideshow with a picture of them sharing a passionate kiss while lying on a couch together.
Kidston sweetly commented on the post, “To many more years together. l love you.” Lola’s mom also wrote a sweet message under the post, wishing her daughter’s boyfriend a “happy birthday” and referring to him as “the chicest of the chic! ✨✨✨.”
The happy couple currently resides in London, where Lola is pursuing her music career. According to Kidston’s LinkedIn, he is working as a sport talent sales intern with the Creative Artists Agency. Although it is unknown how long they have been dating, the duo both attended NYU.
In May 2023, Lola graduated from New York University. As for her post-grad plans, she told Billboard in 2022 that she was pursuing a career in music. “I’ve always loved music and I’ve always loved singing,” she explained. Lola gushed about what prompted her to release her first track, “Paranoia Silverlining,” saying, “I think a lot of artists would understand that finding your sound is a really difficult thing, and this was a song that I felt like sounded like me finally.”
She added, “Once I wrote a song that resonated with what I wanted my sound to be, I knew I had to release it.” Lola also noted that her parents hear her sing all the time and kept encouraging her to put something out there. “So when I finally had something that I really liked, they were just super excited for me,” she said.
In August 2020, Ripa revealed that she has learned “so much about being a modern-day woman” from her daughter. “It really gives me hope—her generation really supports each other, the way she and her friends have each other’s backs. For all the talk about women helping other women, I see it in her generation in a way I never have before,” the talk show host added.
Lola’s father, Mark Consuelos, also revealed that he is less “overprotective” than he thought he would be “when she was born” and has “mellowed a bit” over the years. “I’m really aware of what a good head on her shoulders she has,” he praised.
Lola Consuelos is clearly in love and has gone Instagram official with her boyfriend, Cassius Kidston. The young couple has been living their best life together, enjoying scenic bike rides, dressing up for fancy nights, and traveling to tropical destinations. Lola recently celebrated her birthday, turning 23 on June 16, and has been putting her all into her music career. She recently went viral with her Sabrina Carpenter “Espresso” cover and has been releasing music on YouTube with cover art.
Lola’s parents have been supportive of her music career, with Ripa revealing in a 2022 interview that neither she nor her husband has musical talent. “We have no musical talent between the three of us,” the TV host told Access Hollywood. “But she definitely has all the talent for all of us.”
