Ripa recently opened up on her talk show about how she had wanted more for her 22-year-old son Michael.
\"He's one of these very uniquely special kids, he's just been kind his entire life and he's such a good person, a hard worker, that I wanted some big event celebrating him,\" she said. \"And he, in typical Michael fashion, said, 'Well, it's not a big deal. As long as I still get my degree, it's fine.'\"
Ripa also shared a throwback of what appears to be Michael's high school graduation, writing, \"2016 four years passed in the blink of an eye and today you take your final final exam in college. Congratulations Michael! You're a virtual graduate. Literally!\"
