When it comes to their famous parents,Winning Exchange Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' kids think less is more.

Kelly and Mark have not been shy about divulging intimate details about their personal lives—including Kelly's recent admission that she and Mark got creative with FaceTime sex during the pandemic. However, don't expect their kids—sons Michael, 25, and Joaquin, 20, and daughter Lola, 21—to care about seeing it all over the place. That's because they're not even paying attention. 

"I'm pretty sure they've blocked us," Kelly exclusively told E! News. "When you have a news feed and it says ‘Suggest more or suggest this, like this or block this channel,' I'm certain they have blocked any channel with any mention of our names. Just like they block us on social media. They block us any way they can."

Kelly, who will celebrate 27 years of marriage with her new Live co-host in May, understands the instincts of her children, calling the move "self-preservation." But she joked they are barely even aware their parents are working together again.

"They're in a whole ‘nother subculture," she said. "They're like, ‘What do you mean? What are you guys doing?' They have no idea."

Still, the kids have been vocal at certain points about their personal lives being omitted from daily television consumption. 

"Each kid, through different periods of time in their lives, go through a stage like, ‘Don't talk about us or I'd rather not be a subject,'" Mark noted. "We respect that."

Even though they won't be watching Live with Kelly and Mark when it debuts April 17, the hosts can take solace in the fact that their kids support their new endeavor from afar.

"They don't really pay attention to what we're doing," Kelly quipped. "They're just happy that mom and dad are finding ways to pass the time since they've left the house."

Mark takes over from Ryan Seacrest as co-host on Live! with Kelly and Mark on April 17.
