Kelly Ripa shared intimate photos of her family in honor of son Joaquin’s 18th birthday.

The montage featured photos of Joaquin with dad Mark Consuelos and siblings Michael, 23, and Lola, 19, over the years.

Ripa revealed earlier this month that Joaquin is deciding which college to attend, a journey she and her husband didn’t think would be possible for him given his severe learning disabilities

“[Mark] said, ‘You know, I never thought he would be able to go to college.’ Because he was profoundly dyslexic and dysgraphic,” Ripa said

Ripa said that “through hard work, determination, [and] remediation,” Joaquin was able to overcome his struggles, calling his learning disabilities a “misunderstood learning difference.”
