The new episode of Let’s Talk Off Camera with guest Dr. Jill Biden dropped on August 5, just days after Kelly left her daytime show Live with Kelly and Mark to undergo surgery.
Kelly has been missing from the show for two weeks, after husband Mark Consuelos said she got a very painful gum procedure.
It’s unclear when Kelly actually filmed her podcast episode, but it may have been before she actually underwent her surgery.
On July 27, Mark announced to the Live audience that Kelly would be absent from the show for the foreseeable future.

“Kelly had a gum graft surgery,” he said, with Kevin Jonas next to him filling in as co-host.
“Her dentist told her you can do it in about five years, and she said, ‘I didn’t think I’d still be on the air in five years!’”
“And here we are. She’s doing great. She’s not allowed to talk.”
Mark called the procedure “painful.”
“When she goes to the dentist, she doesn’t really use the Novocaine, but this one hurts. So I know it’s bad,” he added.
The host will not return to air until September 8, when the show goes back into production after summer break.
![Hold on to your phones, because this is not a drill: Lola Consuelos, daughter of TV royalty Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, has just dropped a bombshell that has left fans reeling. The stunning 23-year-old NYU graduate, known for her quiet grace and social media presence that’s equal parts chic and elusive, has just announced that she’s expecting her first child with none other than her ultra-wealthy, enigmatic boyfriend. Who Is Lola Consuelos’ Boyfriend? All About Cassius Kidston But as if the surprise pregnancy announcement wasn’t enough to break the internet, the name the couple has chosen for their unborn child has truly set social media ablaze. And trust us—you’ve never seen anything like it. Let’s break it all down. A Secret Romance That Took Everyone by Surprise For months, fans have speculated about Lola’s mysterious boyfriend, who has only ever been seen in blurry paparazzi shots or vague Instagram stories from exotic locations. While his identity has been largely kept under wraps, here’s what we do know: he’s reportedly a young tech investor with a net worth rumored to be in the eight-figure range. Insiders describe him as “incredibly private,” “family-oriented,” and “absolutely smitten with Lola.” Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Daughter Lola Shares Rare Photos of Boyfriend in Anniversary Post According to a close source, the couple has been dating for over a year, splitting their time between New York, Miami, and a palatial estate in the Hamptons. Though the two have been mostly private, friends say the romance has been intense, fast-moving, and deeply rooted in mutual respect. And now, it seems, they’re taking the ultimate step together. The Pregnancy Reveal That Shocked Everyone In a surprise Instagram post that went live just this morning, Lola revealed her pregnancy with a carousel of black-and-white maternity photos. One shot shows her cradling a growing baby bump in a silk gown, while another shows her boyfriend gently kissing her stomach, both of them barefoot in a field of sunflowers. But it was the final slide—a handwritten note with a name scrawled across it—that truly stopped fans in their tracks. “Can’t wait to meet you, [REDACTED NAME] 💛” While at first the name was blurred out for suspense, just hours later, Kelly Ripa herself took to her Instagram story to share a congratulatory message—and accidentally revealed the name. The screen grab? Now going viral at breakneck speed. So… What’s the Baby’s Name? Brace yourself. The name is: Zeppelin Solstice Consuelos-Kensington. Yes, you read that right. Zeppelin. Solstice. Consuelos-Kensington. Within minutes, “Zeppelin Solstice” was trending on X (formerly Twitter), with reactions ranging from pure adoration to full-blown bewilderment. “Sounds like the name of a rock star born during a pagan moon festival,” one user quipped. Another posted, “I’m obsessed. It’s giving celestial royalty, and I’m here for it.” Others weren’t so sure. “That baby is either going to be a poet or a billionaire,” one person tweeted. “No in-between.” Fans, Critics, and the Celebrity Baby Name Craze In recent years, celebrity baby names have evolved from unique to outright outlandish. From Elon Musk’s X Æ A-12 to Cardi B’s Kulture, fans have come to expect the unexpected. But Zeppelin Solstice may just take the crown for the most mystical, majestic, and mysterious name of the decade. Who is Lola Consuelos? – Meet Kelly Ripa’s Singer Daughter What does it mean? According to name experts (yes, those exist), Zeppelin is a nod to both the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin and the iconic German airships. Meanwhile, Solstice evokes themes of nature, renewal, and cosmic alignment—perfect for a child destined to live among the stars (both literally and figuratively). What’s Next for Lola? With her baby announcement out in the open and her name dominating headlines, Lola Consuelos is stepping into an entirely new chapter of her life—one that may include marriage, motherhood, and a level of media attention she’s never experienced before. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have already expressed their overwhelming excitement. “We’re thrilled, over the moon, and so proud,” said Kelly in a follow-up interview with LIVE with Kelly and Mark. “Lola is going to be an incredible mother. She has the heart, the strength, and now she has Zeppelin.” Meanwhile, insiders say Lola is planning a serene birth surrounded by family, possibly at her boyfriend’s countryside estate, far from the glare of paparazzi. Still, fans are hoping for more updates—baby bump pics, nursery reveals, and maybe even a peek at the actual birth. Final Thoughts: Is This the New Era of Lola? Lola Consuelos has always been seen as the quiet daughter, the one who kept her life private while being born into Hollywood royalty. But with this dramatic, glamorous, and utterly unique baby announcement, she’s stepping into the spotlight in a way that’s totally her own. From secret romance to celestial baby names, this announcement wasn’t just a bombshell—it was a cosmic event. One thing is clear: the world will be watching every move Lola makes from here on out. And if this is just the beginning, we can’t wait to see what’s next.](https://family4.newstoday123.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/cats-74-600x400.jpg)
