Being the child of a celebrity means that at one point in your life you'll accompany your famous parent to an industry event where there's a good chance that you'll walk the red carpet. This is an opportunity for the public to see how much they've grown over the years.  

This week, actress and Live! co-host Kelly Ripa was one of the hosts of the 2017 CNN Heroes-All Star Tribute event in New York City, and she brought along a very special date - her daughter.

Instead of walking the red carpet with her husband of 21 years, All My Children star Mark Consuelos, Ripa, 46, had her teenage daughter, Lola Grace, join her at the annual event.

Despite being the spawn of two famous parents, Ripa and Consuelos's middle child has largely remained out of the spotlight while growing up. For a while, Ripa and Consuelos only gave us a glimpse into their family, which also includes their first born, 20-year-old Michael, and the youngest, 14-year-old Joaquin, through social media, but that's starting to change.

Nowadays, the Consuelos brood have been making appearances alongside their parents on the red carpet, and they're no longer as little as we remembered them.

16-year-old Lola stole all the attention from her mother at the CNN event and she's definitely inherited her parents' good looks.

While Ripa opted for a long-sleeved little black dress adorned with sequins, Lola turned heads in a bubblegum pink sweater dress, nude pumps, and dainty gold jewelry.

At the event, CNN honored ten heroes with $10,000 cash prizes for their efforts, and the Hero of the Year award was presented to Amy Wright, who received an extra $100,000 for her work with people with disabilities.

Throughout the night the mother-daughter pair also had the chance to mingle with other A-list celebrities, including the event's co-host Anderson Cooper, Christian Bale, Sterling K. Brown, and Amber Tamblyn.

Although Lola's rare appearance is making headlines, it isn't her first event. Back in May she joined her mother at the 2017 New Jersey Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

Last year, she also made an unexpected appearance with her father at the premiere of the film Nine Lives. The teen is still in school and has not revealed if she plans to follow in her parents' footsteps, but in the meantime, she's getting all the practice she needs.

We can't believe how much she's grown right before our eyes! Can't wait to see where her parents take her next.

Kelly Ripa Reveals Why Regis Refused To Talk To Her Off-Camera

Six years ago, Regis Philbin retired from his hosting duties on Live! With Regis and Kelly. Prior to that, he and his co-host Kelly Ripa, made the perfect daytime television pair for ten years.

The duo brought something different to the show, which had been on air decades before they took over. So understandably, when Philbin announced his retirement, shortly after the 10th anniversary of the show, Ripa was not happy.

In an interview with Larry King Now, Philbin spoke about his rocky relationship between him and Ripa. When asked if he keeps in touch with his former Live! co-host, Philbin replied, "Not really, no, no."

"She got very offended when I left. She thought I was leaving because of her. I was leaving because I was getting older and it wasn't right for me anymore," the 85-year-old explained. He added that Ripa took his departure personally, and has never asked him to come back on the show.

Since the interview, which took place earlier this year, there have multiple reports of Ripa avoiding Philbin whenever she could. She reportedly even left a cocktail early so she wouldn't run into Philbin, who arrived later.

"Kelly arrived early and left before Regis arrived," Radar Online reported. "Since Regis left the show he has had no contact with Kelly and revealed that she hasn't returned any of his calls."

Unlike Philbin, Ripa, who now hosts Live! with Ryan Seacrest, has been very quiet about their relationship, until now.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Ripa opened up about how much things have changed now that she has a new co-host, and revealed something that most people did not know about Philbin.

Contrary to her relationship with Seacrest, who she hangs out with on weekends and can text at any hour, Ripa said that she rarely communicated with Philbin off-camera.

She explained that in the ten years that she worked with Philbin, they did not talk on the set of the show.

"Regis had a mandate: Absolutely no talking off-camera," Ripa said. "He had almost a superstition about it. You save it for the show. I'd be like, "˜Good morning,' and he'd say, "˜Save it for the air!'"

This revelation about the pair's off-air relationship gives fans a glimpse into why they didn't continue to be friends after Philbin left.

Philbin's retirement wasn't the only major departure that personally affected Ripa. Former NFL player Michael Strahan joined Live! after Philbin, but said goodbye last year. He announced that he was leaving for Good Morning America, prompting Ripa to walk off the show for nearly a week.

Thankfully, Ripa seems to be happy carrying out hosting duties with Seacrest by her side.

"He's the future of the franchise," she said. "He's the future of ABC."

The former American Idol host also had nothing but good things to say about Ripa.

"If it were raining outside and there was a puddle, I'd want to stand in front of Kelly so she wouldn't get wet," Seacrest said. "There's that protection thing."
