Kelly Ripa Finally Explains the Awkward Reason Behind Why Her Son Michael Is Always Seen Wearing Pink Lipstick—And It’s Not What You’d Expect!”
When Kelly Ripa’s eldest son, Michael, is spotted out and about, there’s one unexpected detail that fans can’t help but notice: he often appears to be wearing pink lipstick!
While many have speculated about the reason, from quirky fashion choices to makeup mishaps, Kelly has finally come forward to address the situation—and the real story behind it is more awkward (and funny!) than anyone could have guessed.
In a recent interview, Kelly revealed that Michael’s pink lips aren’t a bold style statement or an intentional fashion choice.
Instead, it’s the result of an innocent but somewhat hilarious oversight. Apparently, Michael has a habit of borrowing his mom’s lip balm whenever his lips feel chapped, especially when he’s home or raiding the family car.
The twist? Kelly’s go-to lip balm has a subtle pink tint that, unbeknownst to Michael, leaves a rosy hue on his lips!
For months, friends and even fans have asked Kelly about this unusual detail in Michael’s appearance, leading her to finally set the record straight.
She explained that Michael, usually oblivious to the color change, doesn’t notice his tinted lips until someone points it out—often after he’s been out in public. This “accidental lipstick” scenario has become a running family joke, with Kelly affectionately poking fun at her son’s unwitting fashion statement.
The story behind Michael’s “pink lips” sheds light on a fun, down-to-earth dynamic within the Ripa-Consuelos family and offers fans a rare glimpse into the quirks that make their family so relatable. Kelly’s playful explanation not only clears up the mystery but also proves that even the children of celebrities can end up with unexpectedly funny and awkward moments just like the rest of us.
