In a candid moment that has both amused and stunned fans, Mark Consuelos recently opened up about his reaction to his youngest son, Joaquin Consuelos, taking an unexpected path after graduation. While celebrating Joaquin’s academic achievements, Mark expressed his frustration over his son’s decision to spend time doing something he found “crazy” instead of diving straight into a job after earning his degree.

The statement came during a conversation on LIVE with Kelly and Mark, where Mark shared his thoughts on Joaquin’s post-graduation behavior. “My God, at 22, you’re supposed to be more grown up than this,” Mark quipped, jokingly addressing his son’s decisions in a lighthearted yet pointed way.

Joaquin, who recently graduated from the University of Michigan’s esteemed drama program, has been the center of attention within the Consuelos family. At just 22 years old, he not only completed his degree but also showcased his athletic prowess as a member of the university’s wrestling team. This milestone was especially significant for the family, marking the final chapter of the Consuelos children’s college years.
Kelly and Mark traveled to Michigan to attend the graduation, joined by their older children, Michael and Lola. Michael flew in from Brooklyn, and Lola, currently based in London, made her way to Michigan to join the family for the celebratory weekend. The atmosphere was filled with pride, as Joaquin’s hard work culminated in this major achievement.

Despite the joy surrounding his graduation, Kelly and Mark were struck by how little Joaquin shared about his plans during the weekend. Both parents were left in the dark about the finer details of his celebration, leading to some humorous yet relatable frustrations.
