Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have spent decades in the spotlight, but these days, their oldest son Michael is getting plenty of attention of his own.

Michael was born on June 2, 1997, and when he celebrated his 27th birthday in 2024, his famous parents marked the occasion with a touching collection of family memories stretching all the way back to his birth.

But there was one detail fans couldn’t stop talking about:

Just how much Michael looks like his father.

The resemblance between Michael and Mark has been noticed for years, with fans repeatedly describing the father and son as nearly identical. In fact, the resemblance became useful professionally.

When Mark played Hiram Lodge on Riverdale, Michael was cast to portray the younger version of his father’s character.

And Michael hasn’t simply relied on his famous family name. He studied at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and has pursued his own work in entertainment, including acting and production.

Today, Michael is even older than the viral “27” post suggests — he turned 29 on June 2, 2026. Kelly and Mark celebrated the milestone on Live with Kelly and Mark, once again reminding longtime fans just how quickly their family has grown up.

For viewers who remember Kelly and Mark as a young Hollywood couple, seeing their oldest son as a grown man can certainly make the years feel like they passed in the blink of an eye.
