Nothing but love and admiration for mom and dad!
“One hundred percent they’re relationship goals, and it’s weird because I’ve been with them the longest,” the actor said, noting that he’s the couple’s first-born child. “Not a year after they were married, about a year, then I came into the picture. So we kind of grew up together, at least that’s how I see it.”
“I think it’s just a little version of what we do at home. Our family, we’re a bunch of jokers,” Michael continued to the outlet about poking fun at his parents' social media snaps. “We like to rip on each other a lot and kid around and it spills out into the social media and all that, but it’s just like home. That’s just how we are.”

Consuelos and Ripa tied the knot in 1996. In addition to Michael, the couple shares daughterLola, 20, and sonJoaquin, 18.
Michael toldETthat though he’s not currently seeking a relationship similar to his parents', Ripa and Consuelos, both 50, are excellent role models in other aspects of his life.
“They’re great, not just in like a relationship sense, but they’re great role models,” he shared. “I try to conduct myself the way I think they would.”

His most recent episode, which aired Wednesday night, revolved around Hiram’s origin story, and other cast members also played younger versions of their parents' characters. Michael said it’s"surreal" sharing the screenwith his dad.
“Acting opposite my dad was such a surreal experience, but we both had the BEST time and I really enjoyed getting to walk around in Hiram’s shoes,” he continued. “Villainy aside, he’s a great character, and I can’t wait for the fans to see he’s not such a bad guy (maybe he is, but I’m biased).”
The Aug. 18 episode wasn’t the first time Michael and his father shared the role of Hiram onRiverdale— Michael appeared on the teen drama as a younger version of his father’s villainous character in 2018.
