Mark Consuelos on being a dad to three teenage children.
Mark Consuelos couldn't be prouder of his three amazing children with wife Kelly Ripa.
ET spoke to the 45-year-old Pitch star at the Paley Center for Media's Tribute to Hispanic Achievements in Television, Presented by Verizon on Monday night, where he talked specifically about his two eldest children, 15-year-old Lola and 19-year-old Michael. Mark admitted he's more than a little protective over the gorgeous Lola.
"She's so spectacular, and being the dad of a 15-year-old teenager, oh my gosh!" he joked to ET's Deidre Behar. "I hate three people and I hate them. Those are her first boyfriends -- I haven't even met them yet! But I know I hate them."

Mark himself was unsure about whether or not she's allowed to date yet.
"Yeah, I don't know. She's such a good ... she's such a great girl," he said. "She makes good choices."
The actor also gave an update on his son Michael, who is now a college freshman, and how he recently touched him with a sweet gesture.
"I went back and visited New York last week, and he took me out for dinner," Mark revealed. "Truth be told, the money he paid, you know, with dinner, I think we gave him that money... [but] he reached into his pocket, which I think is a great, great habit to have."
Mark said Michael definitely wants to follow in his parents' footsteps and work in media, and is studying film and television.
"He wants to be behind the camera, so I think he's gonna be the smart one," he joked.
ET spoke to Lola in August when her famous dad brought her to the Nine Lives premiere in Los Angeles, where she hilariously shaded him.
"It's cool, I like it," Lola told ET about getting to go to a premiere for a film her dad is starring in. "I'm like, 'You're actually kind of cool. I didn't think so at first -- now I think you're cool.'"
