Kelly Ripa tells interesting anecdote about Chris Rock

Kelly Ripa recently reflected on a funny interaction between her and Chris Rock.

In the latest episode of Live with Kelly and Mark On July 10, Kelly talked about friends whose children had the same name.

When asked about the couple’s second child, Kelly replied: “Can you imagine if one of our friends said, ‘You can’t name the child Lola because I’m going to name her Lola?'”

“No, but remember, there is a very funny story,” Kelly recalled, telling an old story about Chris.

She mentioned, “Chris Rock called me when he was expecting his first daughter – I had just had Lola – and he said, ‘Listen, Malaak and I are thinking about naming the baby Lola and we just want to check with you to see if that’s OK.'”

Kelly said: “And I said, ‘First of all, I don’t own the name Lola, I haven’t trademarked it. And secondly, we all agree that Lola Rock is a great name.’ Like, ‘Do you mind if I change Lola’s last name to Rock?'”

“That was very polite of him,” Mark added.

However, Kelly found Chris’s gesture “unnecessary.”

“It never occurred to me. I wouldn’t even… I’m not the only Kelly, you’re not the only Mark,” she noted.

Besides Lola, the couple has two other sons.
