Kelly Ripa shares charming setbacks with Andy Cohen’s son, Ben, when the child turns two

Kelly Ripa visited her Instagram this week to post some old photos with Andy Cohen’s son, Ben.

The 50-year-old blonde carried the album to celebrate little Ben’s second birthday, which happened to fall on Thursday.

She included a picture of her holding Ben when he was a baby and another that was taken at her first birthday party.

Kelly was thrilled with the caption: ‘#tbt Two years ago vs. one year ago. Happy birthday Benjamin Cohen! (Me Maw [heart]’it’s Ben).’

Andy welcomed little Ben through a surrogate in early 2019 and a little over a year later he contracted the coronavirus and had to be quarantined away from his baby.

Kelly recently shared some exciting photos of her and her husband Mark Consuelos with their two oldest children.

They are the proud parents of Michael, 23, Lola, 19, and Joaquin, 17, but the photos were taken in 2001, before the birth of their youngest son.

Kelly and Mark became small screen stars like soap opera stars in All My Children, but she then reached new heights as a talk show host.

She found her current calling as a co-host of Live! With Regis Kelly alongside Regis Philbin, who retired in 2011 and died last year at the age of 88.

Three years ago, Regis revealed in Larry King Now that he and Kelly ‘Actually’ haven’t been in touch since their retirement.

– She was very offended when I left. She thought I was leaving because of her. I was leaving because I was getting older and that was no longer right for me, ‘he said.

Kelly, who now hosts Live! with Ryan Seacrest, he became visibly emotional in the air when discussing his reaction to the ‘horrible news’ that Regis had died.

‘As people get older, you always know that certain things are inevitable and dying is one of those things, but Regis is one of the people that we all believe in, I think, would somehow figure out a way around the inevitable, ‘she shared.
