But while this might be embarrassing for many children, it turns out that eldest son Michael Consuelos doesn't actually mind them. Speaking to People as they marked their Sexiest Man Alive issue, the budding actor said: "I've always kind of maintained that my parents are cooler than me, so they don't really embarrass me."
