Overview
- People published the iHeartRadio podcast clip Tuesday, May 12, in which Consuelos says publicly for the first time, “I miss my dad.”
- He recalls Saul Consuelos as an immigrant from Mexico who served the United States for about 30 years, finished at Special Operations Command in Tampa, and earned a master’s degree.
- Consuelos says his father died March 23 after a five‑month illness, describing the end as quick and painless in what he called a merciful exit.
- He was in tech rehearsals for Roundabout Theatre Company’s Fallen Angels when Saul died, and he says the production became a welcome distraction as he honors his father before each performance.
- A family memorial held the Monday before the May 1 recording made the loss feel real, and he says he will miss hugs, holding hands, and laughing with his dad.
