Mark Consuelos Honors Father's Memory

It's April 6th.

This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking

about.

Mark Consuelo's kicked off Monday's live with Kelly and Mark by sharing some heavy news.

His father Saul passed away two weeks ago after battling a long illness.

It happened peacefully while Mark and Kelly were on a break from the show.

Saul came to the U.S. for Mexico as a young teen.

He served his country for 30 years in the Navy, rising to special operations in Tampa.

He kept learning, even earning a master's degree while raising his family.

Mark called his dad a true symbol of the American promise for immigrants.

Kelly said those 31 years knowing him were the best of her life.

Their three kids are hurting bad since this marks their first real loss.

The family got to say goodbye and Mark paused Broadway rehearsals for his role in fallen

angels to be there.

That word became a welcome distraction to keep pushing forward.

Now they're rallying to support Mom, even talking about bringing her to New York.

Whatever respect for Saul's private life, they're keeping things to what Mark shared

on air.
