Chatting with Lisa Rinna on Thursday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the former soap stars caught up, with Ripa, 52, congratulating Rinna, 60, on daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin's modeling success. "Sometimes when I see your daughter, she is so reminiscent of you that I have to stop," the daytime host remarked. "I know, I know. It’s just truly been amazing," the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum replied. "It’s so much fun watching her. She’s grown so much. She’s just like, killing it." Ripa then admitted that "for years I tried to set our kids up," though she didn't mention which of her sons — Joaquin, 20, and Michael, 26 — she had in mind for the 22-year-old model. "Yes, true story," said Rinna, who also shares daughter Delilah, 25, with husband Harry Hamlin. "For many, many years I tried. And then one day, Amelia like, burst onto the runway — I think it was her first fashion show, and I was like, ‘Nevermind, he wouldn’t know what to do with that,' " Ripa laughed. "I texted her like, ‘Forget it, he wouldn’t know.’" Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
