Joaquin Antonio Consuelos comes from a mixed-ethnic heritage
Born on February 24th, 2003, in Los Angeles, Joaquin is the second son between long-term couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. His name is somehow inspired by his dad’s Mexican heritage. The name Joaquin is the Spanish version of the name Joachim which means ‘God has established.’
Ancestral Heritage
Talking about ethnicity, Joaquin has a mixed heritage. On his father’s side, he is Mexican and Italian while on his mom’s side, he is Irish. Safe to say, he got to enjoy all the culture at once while growing up.
Joaquin’s parents raised him primarily in Manhattan, New York City. His father is Italian, his mom is also three-quarters Italian and he lives in New York. Maybe he has that old New York accent. Pun intended!
Siblings
He has two older siblings, one brother Michael Joseph Consuelos (born June 2nd, 1997), and Lola Grace (born June 16, 2001). The oldest one, Michael graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. On the other hand, Lola studies at the New York University.

He suffered from severe dyslexia and dysgraphia and his parents didn’t think he’d be able to do great in school.
But against all odds and with the support from his school and parents, Joaquin graduated high school and that too with great grades. He graduated from middle school in 2017 and high school in 2020.
Joaquin Antonio Consuelos is a University of Michigan student
In March 2021, the University of Michigan announced that Joaquin will be joining their program. The UNI wrote in the Instagram post, “SIGNED: Welcome to the family, @joaquinconsuelos! #NewBlue #GoBlue.”
Joaquin is a college-level wrestler.His father Mark, who was over the moon after hearing the news, commented on the post with a wrestling-type emoji. Moreover, Joaquin himself commented, “Super excited to step into this next chapter with @umichwrestling! Honored to be part of this great program.”
Well, this certainly was terrific news considering the fact that Joaquin suffered from Dyslexia his entire life.
Joaquin’s wrestling career has several interesting incidents
Likewise, judging by Kelly’s son’s current course of action, he might be more interested in wrestling as opposed to acting. Since high school, he has been participating in several wrestling tournaments and he has even won several matches as well.
Back in 2020, during one of these matches, he broke his nose. Although he won the match, his nose was all busted. Kelly took to her Instagram account to reveal the news. She shared multiple pictures showing behind the scenes of the match and wrote, “You win some, you lose some, and sometimes you get a tampon shoved up your nose.”

As a mom, she was definitely worried but her playful banter can’t be contained.
In addition to this, there was another incident that caused quite the stir. In December 2019, during one of Joaquin’s bouts, his father got furious and tried to confront his opponent. His opponent had apparently ripped off his headgear which riled up Mark up quite a bit.
Mark started walking towards the opponent and said a few words to him until a spectator intervened and pulled him away. As this event unfolded, Kelly, who was also at the match, remained calm.

We know you’re all interested to know if Kelly’s son is dating someone or not. Going by his Instagram account, he doesn’t seem to be dating anybody. His Instagram account, which boasts more than 90k followers, has only a handful of photos of his day-to-day life. As of now, he is not in a relationship and living a single life. Given that his mother Kelly is fairly open to her fans about her family if Joaquin ever has a partner she’ll definitely tell us.
Joaquin lives a fairly lavish life thanks to his parents
Having successful parents really does make your life pretty easy, at least on the surface. Similarly, all three of Kelly and Mark’s children don’t have to worry about any monetary stuff. After all their parents are millionaires with a combined net worth of over $100 million.
Regardless, the duo has tried their best to keep their kids from turning into spoiled brats. All three of them have done exceptionally well in their academics. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that they will also do great in their future careers as well.
