Kelly Ripa's children are just all so talented! Her youngest son, Joaquin, is set for stardom as he gets ready for his Broadway debut in the revival of Death of a Salesman in April.
Joaquin plays Young Biff in the much-anticipated show, and his older brother Michael wanted everyone to know how proud he was after watching him in a preview of the show over the weekend.
Taking to social media, Michael - who is also an actor - shared a photo of the cast's names listed in the program, alongside the message: "I've never been prouder. @joaquinconsuelos was a powerhouse."

Joaquin's acting career
Joaquin studied theatre studies at college and before graduating in 2025, he spoke to the University of Michigan Athletics about his future career goals.
He admitted that for a while, he wasn't sure which path to pursue after university - having also been heavily involved in the wrestling team - but concluded that for now, he wanted to pursue acting.

During his final term at college, he appeared in 'A Few Good Men' in Ann Arbor, and his proud family went to watch him perform.
Joaquin's Broadway journey
Joaquin is starring in the Broadway revival alongside Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf. Per the official update from Playbill, joining Nathan and Laurie will be Christopher Abbott, Ben Ahlers, K. Todd Freeman, Jonathan Cake, John Drea, Michael Benjamin Washington, Tasha Lawrence, Jake Silbermann, Jake Termine, Karl Green, and Jack Falahee.
The logline for the play, written by Arthur Miller, reads: "One man and his family are caught up in the pressures and delusions of living the American Dream. Miller's play is the story of a traveling salesman whose illusions of picture-perfect business and family life cave in on him."
The drama was written in 1949 and opened on Broadway that same year, instantly becoming a hit, winning a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play. It has since been revived five times on the Broadway stage.
Up against his dad
Joaquin isn't the only member of the family taking to the stage either - as his dad, Mark Consuelos, is also returning to Broadway with a supporting turn in the revival of Fallen Angels. The Riverdale star, 54, will be part of the upcoming revival of the Noël Coward, joining leads Rose Byrne (fresh off her very first Oscar nod) and Kelli O'Hara.

The Fallen Angels logline reads: "Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances – with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre's comedy masters."
