Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos had a heartwarming reunion with a familiar face on their talk show, “LIVE with Kelly and Mark.” During the show, Mark pointed out a sign in the audience that caught their attention. It turns out that the girl holding the sign was Olivia Daddona, the actress who played their character’s baby, Enzo, on the soap opera “All My Children.”
Kelly Ripa shared with the audience that she and Mark had often wondered what had happened to baby Enzo and were delighted to see Olivia in the audience. Olivia revealed that she actually played the role of baby Enzo, who was originally meant to be a boy but ended up being portrayed by her due to her twin brother not having enough hair at the time.
Despite the challenges of Hollywood, Olivia shared that she is no longer acting and now works in the sports industry. Kelly and Mark expressed their joy at seeing her and reminisced about their time on the show. It was revealed that Olivia is now 23 years old, just three days younger than their daughter, Lola.
The couple met on the set of “All My Children” in 1995, where Mark auditioned for the role of Hayley Vaughan’s love interest, Mateo Santos. The characters played by Kelly and Mark welcomed a baby in an episode that aired in August 2001. Just a year after meeting, Kelly and Mark eloped in Las Vegas and now have three children together: Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.
The reunion with Olivia brought back memories of their time on the show and highlighted the lasting impact of their on-screen family. The audience was touched by the connection between the actors and the young woman who once played their on-screen baby. It was a heartwarming moment that showed the enduring bond between the cast of “All My Children” and their fans.
