Mark Consuelos celebrated the dual birthdays of both his mother Camilla Consuelos and his niece Gabi Consuelos on August 20.
The TV star's sister Adriana Consuelos shared a sweet carousel online of the family posing beside two birthday cakes and playing Mahjong together on the special day.
Despite the festivities, it was a bittersweet moment for the family who opened up on social media.
Adriana captioned the post: "Happy Birthday mom! Celebrating both Mom and Gabi. We learned to play Mahjong, ate a wonderful meal by @tony.w.jefferson and blew out some candles with wishes in mind."

The siblings' father Saul Consuelos passed away on March 23, 2026, due to a prolonged illness.
Fans flocked to the comments to support the family through the difficult times. One person wrote: "The firsts are all hard."
A second follower added: "Aloha and Happy birthday to Mrs. C and Gabi! I know Mr C was there…"

Another fan wrote: "Happy birthday to your beautiful mom & daughter. The firsts are the hardest but you always remember they are with you always."
© InstagramThis isn't the first time that Adriana has been candid about struggling with her father's passing, and how difficult it has been, especially during the holidays.
On June 21, she wrote online: "Happy Father's Day to my husband and my dearest father. Today is both beautiful and sad. Thank you for being a great father to our children Tony. Dad, you are my hero. I will keep your sage words in my heart always. I love you both."
Just a few weeks prior she wrote on social media about a beautiful lesson her father taught her, recalling: "Nonno: 'Even weeds have purpose... they have tenacity and fill spaces that would otherwise be bare.' Thanks dad. I love you."

There were a lot of lectures, a lot of lectures and I learned so much."
He continued: "If he was fixing something in the house, he'd make me watch and do it. And I didn't know at the time why he was doing that. But now at the house, I'm able to do at least half of the stuff that he did. I learned the most by just watching him."
