Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos with their three kidsKelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are ringing in the holidays — without their kids.
On Sunday, the Live with Kelly & Mark co-hosts and real-life couple shared their 2023 holiday card in a joint post on Instagram after resharing their 2022 holiday card last week.
Last year's card featured the couple and their three kids — Lola, 22, Joaquin, 20, and Michael, 26 — as they posed in front of purple flowers, writing "Happy Holidays" across the bottom.
This year's card is a little different as Ripa, 53, and Consuelos, 52, chose a photo solely featuring the couple. Surrounded in a red bow, the picture rests on a white background, above their holiday message.
"Happy Holidays," they wrote. "Love the Empty Nesters," poking fun at the fact that all three of their kids have moved out of their house.

Their kids didn't seem to mind the snub, as daughter Lola dropped some crying-laughing emojis in the comments.
In October, Ripa discussed a weekend trip she took to London where she spent time with Lola. Chatting with Consuelos, the mom of three said she went to England to help her daughter find an apartment.
"I was in London, our daughter — as you know — is moving to London, so I went to help her find a flat," Ripa explained.
"Which, you know, we all speak English but our languages are completely separate. The terminology. The let — you’re not a renter, you’re a letter. So when they were talking about ‘letting,’ I was like, ‘What are we letting? What are we about to let happen?’"
"It’s nice that you got to spend time. Like, a girl’s trip with your daughter. That’s so cool," Consuelos said.
"We were saying that we’ve never had just a mother-daughter trip, just the two of us, that didn’t involve like, either, work or some sporting event or being surrounded by other kids or a younger sibling or an older sibling. It was just us. We had the best time. She is so much fun," the proud mom said.
In May, Ripa and Consuelos celebrated their daughter Lola's graduation from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU Tisch.
"Lola Gets! 🎓 #HappyGraduation and congrats @theyoungestyung … we are so proud of you 👏 👩🎓 🎉 @instasuelos #NYU2023 #NYUCliveDavisInstitute," Ripa captioned an Instagram post about the achievement.
Consuelos also took to Instagram to post about his daughter's graduation, writing, "Congratulations Lola!!! We love you!!"
Both Ripa and Consuelos' posts involved video montages of clips from the graduation ceremony, set to Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of "Whatever Lola Wants."
