Ripa and Consuelos’ daughter, Lola, also celebrated her mother by posting a video to Instagram.

“50 has truly never looked this good,” wrote in the caption with heart emojis. The video shows their house decorated with balloons as Ripa looks at a beautiful display of flowers.

“We love you so much @kellyripa. The light of our lives,” Lola added, according to Entertainment Tonight.

This comes one month after Ripa said that Lola has taught her “so much about being a modern-day woman.”

“It really gives me hope — her generation really supports each other, the way she and her friends have each other’s backs,” she told People Magazine. “For all the talk about women helping other women, I see it in her generation in a way I never have before.”

As for what Lola has learned from her parents, she said that her father has taught her “to take everything day by day — not to dwell on the past but to focus on the future.”
