The Everybody Loves Raymond star revealed to co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulos on Live with Kelly and Mark Wednesday morning that his only daughter Alexandra "Ally" got engaged earlier this week.

"Yeah, I don't even know. You know what? I will be wrong. Whatever I say, I have no clue," he humbly admitted. "My wife is gonna tell me where to go and what check to sign, and that's gonna be the end of it."

"Smart man," Consuelos responded.

Along with Ally, 33, Romano also shares sons Gregory, 30, Matthew, 30, and Joseph, 25, with his wife Anna, 60.

The Emmy winner previously spoke to PEOPLE about quarantining with his four adult children during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. At the time, he said of his daughter, "She takes after me. It's actually kind of enjoyable in fact."
