Michael Consuelos Has Also Worked in Front of the Camera
Michael has appeared in films, too.
Michael's career has not been limited to production. After graduating from New York University in 2020, he appeared alongside his father on Riverdale.
He played a younger version of Mark's character, Hiram Lodge, in flashback scenes on the CW drama. The actor also appeared in Let's Get Physical and The Bensonhurst Spelling Bee.
His latest Bravo work, however, puts him firmly on the production side of television.
It's a path that began taking shape years ago. Michael studied film and television production at NYU and previously worked with his parents' production company, Milojo Productions.
Michael's Siblings Have Also Left Home
Ripa and Michael's children have already left home.
Michael is the eldest of Kelly and Mark's three children. He left home for college in 2016, attending NYU before graduating in 2020.
His younger sister Lola later attended NYU, while his youngest brother, Joaquin Consuelos, attended the University of Michigan.
By 2025, all three children had moved out of their parents' New York City home. Kelly and Mark discussed becoming empty nesters during a February 28, 2025, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where Mark joked about finally using his children's bathrooms.
