Kelly Ripa Just Recreated a 17-Year-Old Family Photo—and She Looks Like She Didn’t Age

Kelly Ripa is taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane in the best possible way.

On Instagram this week, the TV personality, 49, shared a funny before-and-after photo of her and her family recreating an old memory. That look on her face? Pure gold.

In the original pic, we see an exhausted Ripa hanging out with her children at the beach. In her lap, she holds her red-faced baby, Joaquin Antonio Consuelos, while her two older children, Lola Consuelos and Michael Joseph Consuelos, crowd around them. 

Fast forward 17 years and, in the second photo, Ripa and all three of her kids are mimicking the exact same poses. Joaquin, who is now 17 and much bigger, sits on Ripa's lap as she peers at the camera with a tired expression. Meanwhile, the eldest children are huddled around the pair.

She captioned her post, "#TBT 2003 vs. 2020 *Objects may appear larger."

The mother of three shared the same throwback pic in 2018, adding a clever quote from her husband that pretty much sums up any family vacation. It read, "A #tbt 2003 reminder: 'a vacation with your kids is a trip, not a vacation'-@instasuelos." 

The Live with Kelly and Ryan co-host previously shared a number of never-before-seen family photos to her personal Instagram account, including her most memorable childhood moments and old snaps of her parents and in-laws. Let's keep this throwback streak going, Kelly.
