She referred to Rinna and said: ‘I texted her like, “Forget it, he wouldn’t know.”‘

Aside from her two sons, Ripa also shares 22-year-old daughter, Lola with her husband Mark Consuelos, 52, and Rinna also shares daughter Delilah, 25, with husband Harry Hamlin, 71. 

The women continued to talk about their kids, with Ripa commenting on Amelia Gray’s modeling career.

‘Sometimes when I see your daughter, she is so reminiscent of you that I have to stop,’ the daytime host remarked.

‘I know, I know. It’s just truly been amazing,’ the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum replied. ‘It’s so much fun watching her. She’s grown so much. She’s just like, killing it.’

Ripa is also talking about menopause and her experience with it in the latest episode of her podcast Let’s Talk Off Camera. 

‘I love not getting my period. There—I said it,’ she said. 

She spoke about the stigma attached to menopause with her personal doctor Erika Schwartz M.D, revealing that many of her friends still get regular periods, leading her to not want to tell them she no longer does.

‘They routinely tell me they still get their periods regularly,’ she said. 

‘They’re talking to me, an open book, and still cannot bring themselves to talk about having gone through menopause. It is too scary for them to acknowledge.’

And she has a sense of humor about it all too.

‘You’re able to wear white pants and not be terrified,’ she quipped. ‘My first Memorial Day through Labor Day after menopause… It was the summer of the white pant because I never had to worry about wearing white pants.’
