Lola Consuelos and her brothers find themselves cringing at the name of their family group chat that their parents chose. During a recent episode of Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, Lola, a 24-year-old singer-songwriter and daughter of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, opened up about their family dynamic. The family of five has a text thread named “Fam Innit,” a choice made by Lola’s parents that she and her brothers, Joaquin, 22, and Michael, 28, feel embarrassed about.

Lola shared that the siblings have their own chat called “Family, Isn’t It?” as a playful contrast to their parents’ choice. Kelly Ripa explained that the name was inspired by their interest in the TV show Top Boy, where the phrase “Fam Innit” caught their attention.
Interestingly, Lola revealed a quirky habit of occasionally putting her phone on do not disturb and waking up to random YouTube videos or childhood pictures shared by her brothers. When discussing the group chat’s content, Kelly Ripa mentioned a recent message from Michael sharing a fun fact about a TV show theme song. Despite the engaging content, no one responded or left the chat after that message, highlighting the laid-back nature of their interactions.
