Is Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Son, Michael Consuelos, Gay?

Michael Consuelos is an American actor and one of Hollywood’s youngest newcomers.

He was born on June 2, 1997, in New Jersey to soap opera actors and television personalities, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. The younger Consuelos is the eldest among the brood of three with his brother Joaquin and his sister Lola. Coming from an established acting family, it was only time before the Riverdale star followed suit.

At the beginning of the millennium, the actor started off with minor voice acting roles. His first acting credit was Alien Gremmie for the television series “Duck Dodgers” in 2004. In a couple of years, he also voiced secondary characters for the children’s series “Go, Diego! Go!” Consuelos got his first acting credit as Mike for the comedy “The Bensonhurst Spelling Bee.” The short film allowed the budding actor to star alongside his parents, who also played his on-screen family.

As the actor got older, he explored his interest in film by studying screenwriting and cinematography at New York University. In 2018, Consuelos got his first break as he played the role of the teenage Hiram Lodge in the Netflix hit show “Riverdale.” When the episodes aired, tons of fans remarked on the resemblance between the young actor and the older Hiram Lodge. This comes as no surprise since the latter was portrayed by his father, Mark Consuelos.

Although Michael Consuelos is still technically a neophyte in the industry, he’s already garnering plenty of attention. With his good looks and promising acting skills, fans can’t help but speculate about the young Consuelos’s love life. In fact, there have been some rumors swirling around about the actor’s sexuality. So is Michael Consuelos gay? Let’s find out the answer once and for all.

Michael Conseulos’s Relationships

Since his emergence in the Hollywood spotlight, Michael Consuelos has not been linked romantically to anyone, nor has he publicly dated. Although the star has a strong presence on his parents’ social media, Consuelos is extremely private and keeps the details of his personal life to himself. While some sites may report that the actor is seeing someone, there isn’t enough evidence to confirm these claims.

Due to the secrecy surrounding his relationships, many fans have assumed that the actor is gay. The rumors were fueled even further when Conseulos’s mother, Kelly Ripa, received the Excellence in Media Award during the 2015 GLAAD Media Awards. In her acceptance speech, Ripa added that she was thankful that her family gets to live in an environment of inclusivity. However, it’s important to note that Ripa didn’t mention any of her children.

Despite his mother’s recognition as an LGBTQ ally, Michael Conseulos has yet to comment on his sexuality.

He has never been involved in a public relationship or linked with any other actors. While the promising actor may come from an openly supportive family, this doesn’t relate to his sexuality in any way. At this point, it’s safe to assume that Michael Conseulos identifies as a heterosexual.
