The time is nigh for a graduation! Around the country, educational institutions are now kicking off graduation and commencement ceremonies for their outgoing class of 2025.
Among them, several children of celebrities will also be walking toward their diplomas and bright futures, whether in the spotlight or out, whether it’s to the job market or further education.
In honor of graduation season now upon us, meet some of the proud celebrity moms with kids who’ll be graduating this spring from high school or college…
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ youngest, their son Joaquin Consuelos, graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor’s theatre and drama program this weekend. The 22-year-old is also a member of the school’s wrestling team, and was the first of their kids to study far from home (their older kids, Michael and Lola, graduated from New York University).
Julia Roberts and Danny Moder’s youngest, 17-year-old Henry Moder, will be graduating from high school this spring, weeks shy of his 18th birthday in June. Like his two older siblings, Phinnaeus and Hazel, he will also leave home for college, although his notoriously private parents have not indicated where he will go.
Lara Spencer’s son Duff Haffenreffer, shared with her ex-husband David Haffenreffer, will graduate from Southern Methodist University, a student of the Cox Business School. His younger sister, Katharine “Kat,” is currently a sophomore at Vanderbilt University.
