Mark Consuelos is facing a profound personal loss as he mourns the passing of his father, Saul Consuelos, who died on March 23, 2026, after a long illness. The 55-year-old actor expressed his grief, stating, “He passed away peacefully. Gosh, such a fascinating man.” This loss comes just two weeks before his Broadway play, ‘Fallen Angels’, officially opens on April 19, 2026.

Saul Consuelos, who immigrated to the United States from Mexico as a teenager, served in the Navy and was a significant figure in Mark’s life. Kelly Ripa, Mark’s wife since 1996, shared her sorrow, saying, “I can honestly say that I will miss him every day for the rest of my life, as I know you will, as our children will.” The couple has three adult children: Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 23.

Mark reflected on the lessons learned from his father, emphasizing his father’s embodiment of the American immigrant experience. “If you were to put a face to an immigrant, he would be the prime example of what this country promises people here in this country,” Mark noted.

As the family navigates this challenging time, Joaquin Consuelos is also making headlines with his Broadway debut in ‘Death of a Salesman’, which opens on April 9, 2026. The Consuelos family is experiencing a mix of grief and celebration as they honor Saul’s legacy while stepping into the spotlight.

Mark’s poignant memories of his father and the support from his family are expected to play a significant role in his upcoming performances. Observers are keen to see how this personal tragedy will influence his portrayal in ‘Fallen Angels’ as he channels his emotions into his craft.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any public memorial or tribute planned for Saul Consuelos, but the impact of his life and legacy will undoubtedly resonate within the Consuelos family and their community.
