Ray Romano Called Out His Daughter After She Got Engaged
In April 2023, Ray Romano made an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark. While talking to the show's hosts, Romano discussed the news that his only daughter is going to get married. Romano then went on to quickly roast his daughter's spending habits seconds after the big news came up.
"So much is happening this week. And then on top of that, my daughter sends me, you know, my movie's opening Friday. And she sends me a picture of her with a ring, and my wife and I go nuts. And then, all I could think is... I know my daughter. This movie has to make a lot of money this weekend.' I mean, The doves alone are gonna cost."
In response to Romano's joke about doves, the hosts and their studio audience laughed hard. Kelly Ripa then quickly asked Romano a follow-up question. "What's the budget for a wedding nowadays?"

"Yeah, I don't even know. You know what? I will be wrong. Whatever I say, I have no clue."
While Romano wasn't confident enough about a number to venture a guess about how much his daughter's marriage will cost, he was sure about one thing. According to Romano, he will pay whatever figure his wife of many years tells him to for his daughter's big day.

Before Romano's daytime talk show appearance, he revealed his daughter was engaged publicly for the first time during a previous interview. While talking to the radio host JC Fernandez, Romano told him that his daughter sent him the engagement photo only minutes earlier.
“While we’re on the subject of my kids. I’m only bringing this up because about 10 minutes before I went on air with you, my daughter sent us this picture.”

While it isn't overly interesting that Live with Kelly and Mark didn't get the scoop, the earlier interview is remarkable for another reason.

“Her boyfriend just proposed to her. We’re in Vegas and they’re in New York and she sent us this."
Romano then went on to explain that his future son-in-law had previously sought the comedian's approval. Despite that, Romano was surprised by the news that his daughter had gotten engaged because the original plan changed.
“He asked about two months ago, but he said he was going to do it in June. So he caught us by surprise, you know. I think he caught my daughter by surprise, but he's a good guy so we're happy."
