She then said that the reason her kids were keeping their distance was because of coronavirus fears.
‘And I’m like, “Guys we’ve all been in lockdown together. We’re fine. You can give me a hug. It’s fine.”‘
Choking back tears, she told her co-host, ‘Anyway, I’m sorry. I don’t know why I’m crying.’
‘Maybe I’m just going to get my period, who knows? Sorry …Sorry, did I shout that? Did my inner monologue come out? Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.’

Things seem to have taken a turn for the worse in Kelly’s home, after last month her daughter said being quarantined with her family wasn’t ‘as bad as I thought’.
Lola Consuelos made an appearance on her mother’s show to discuss ‘being under lockdown’ with co-host Ryan Seacrest,and reflected on feeling ‘very lucky’ to spend more time with her family.
Lola also elaborated on how she’s spending her quarantine, which has revolved around her schoolwork and taking classes online.
‘All my classes have been moved online, so most of my time has been taken up by learning and doing homework,’ she said, before adding she is also indulging in lots of Netflix, YouTube and TikTok.
