He previously teased Wednesday night’s episode with an Instagram post of his own. In the photo, the young adult looked like his dad’s twin, wearing a black suit with a tie and reading glasses on the set of the show.

Mark and Ripa tied the knot in 1996. The couple also shares daughterLola, 20, and sonJoaquin, 18. Speaking to PEOPLE last year forthe inaugural Family Issue, Ripa opened up about the pair’s parenting style.
“As you get older and you learn more, that youngest kid hopefully benefits from a little bit more wisdom … and hopefully fewer nerves,” she said. “I think I had definitive ideas about raising girls versus raising boys, even though I don’t really believe in gender stereotyping. My sons are just as sensitive as my daughter, and my daughter is as strong as my sons.”
