Kelly Ripa’s kids aren’t the biggest fans of her content.
The “Live! With Kelly and Mark” co-host said she’s “pretty sure” the three children she shares with husband Mark Consuelos have both of their famous parents blocked on social media.
“When you have a news feed and it says ‘Suggest more or suggest this, like this or block this channel,’ I’m certain they have blocked any channel with any mention of our names,” Ripa told E! News Friday.
“Just like they block us on social media. They block us any way they can,” she said of Michael, 25, Joaquin, 20, and Lola, 21.
The former soap star, who taped the final episode of “Live With Kelly and Ryan” last week, described the move as a form of “self-preservation” for her kids.
“They’re in a whole ‘nother subculture,” she said, noting the trio didn’t even realize Consuelos was replacing Ryan Seacrest on their mom’s daytime talk show.
“They’re like, ‘What do you mean? What are you guys doing?’ They have no idea.”
She and the “Riverdale” actor, 52, whose new show debuts Monday, have long been candid about their personal lives on social media.
“Each kid, through different periods of time in their lives, go through a stage like, ‘Don’t talk about us or I’d rather not be a subject,’” Consuelos told the outlet.
“We respect that,” he added.
The “All My Children” alum then chimed in, “They don’t really pay attention to what we’re doing. They’re just happy that mom and dad are finding ways to pass the time since they’ve left the house.”

Not only did Seacrest’s departure came as a surprise to the kids, it also shocked viewers; however, Page Six learned his decision was a long time coming given his level of fatigue.
“Some of Ryan’s absences created tension with everyone involved on the show,” an insider told us back in February.
“But everyone cares about him and respects him and just wants to make sure he’s OK.”

A friend who works with the “American Idol” host claimed he found the “Live!” schedule “punishing” and hated living in New York City, where the show is taped daily.
“It’s not just ‘Live.’ Ryan has to travel to audition cities for ‘Idol’ — they just went to Hawaii. It’s exhausting,” another insider said.
“It is hard doing ‘Live’ every day. It’s a grueling schedule. There are double tapings and he runs between his radio show and ‘Live.’ He’ll have a 10-minute break and they’ll say, ‘Come and do some one-liners for the radio show.’”
Consuelos will be the fourth co-host Ripa has worked alongside since she joined Regis Philbin on the show in 2001, replacing Kathie Lee Gifford.
Philbin, who died at the age of 88 in July 2020, departed the show in November 2011.
Former NFL player Michael Strahan joined Ripa from September 2012 until April 2016, before he departed “Live” for “Good Morning America.”
