Vanessa Morgan has been open about the support she’s received from her “Riverdale” co-stars after she became a mother, especially from Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos.

“I talked to Kelly after I gave birth. Mark, they were just excited for me, and gave me beautiful, beautiful baby clothes for River,” she said, noting that the rest of the cast also met River on set.

“It took them a while to comprehend this is your baby. It’s weird,” Morgan added. “But it’s just been so special being able to share motherhood with them and they’ve been so supportive. River has this whole family, uncles, and aunts of people on my show, and it’s so nice. Everybody loves him. He has his own trailer at work.”
