Andy Cohen reveals BFF Kelly Ripa’s son Michael Consuelos is working on ‘Real Housewives’

Andy Cohen revealed that Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa’s 26-year-old son, Michael Consuelos, is working for Bravo.

During Thursday’s episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark,” the network honcho was filing in for Ripa and sitting alongside her husband when he gave further details.

The conversation kicked off when Mark, 52, explained that “Bravo shows are huge” in their household.

“We started watching [the ‘Real Housewives of] Miami’, which is blowing my mind. And you know, Michael is working on [them]…” the “Riverdale” star said.

“I know it’s crazy,” Cohen, 55, responded.

“So Michael Consuelos is now working, and he worked on ‘Jersey Housewives’, he worked on this new season of [‘Real Housewives of] New York,’ and I keep texting him saying, ‘Who’s your favorite? Who are you enjoying?’”

And although he does have “a few favorites,” according to Cohen, Michael is very “diplomatic” and won’t divulge who they are.

Per Cohen and Mark, Michael is also working on “Summer House” and “he loves it.”

“It is a full circle moment,” Cohen described it, adding that when he first met Michael as a little kid, he asked if he could hug the host’s “Snoopy.”

“I mean, this is a kid we love,” the “Daddy Diaries” author added.

Ripa and Cohen have had a close friendship over the years. In fact, the 52-year-old actress revealed that they’re so close that Cohen once sent her an NSFW photo of one of his potential hook-ups while she was at work.

“So, my work iPad is open and I’m sitting here reading through my notes and [“Live” Executive Producer Michael Gelman] is over my shoulder trying to show me something,” she explained in a May episode of her podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera.”

“And suddenly a completely erect penis pops up. Let’s call him Bobby. It just says, ‘Bobby’s c–k,’ and it’s, like, a text from Andy Cohen, ‘Bobby’s c–k.’”

Ripa and Consuelos share two other children as well, daughter Lola, 22, and son Joaquin, 20.

Cohen also seemingly came to Ripa and Mark’s rescue after fans gave their new show mixed reviews.

Mark took over after former co-host Ryan Seacrest announced he was leaving “Live.”

The couple, who have been married for 27 years after meeting on the set of “All My Children,” also share daughter Lola, 22, and son Joaquin, 20.
