Ray Romano and familyRay Romano is 67!
Known for playing Ray Barone, a bumbling sportswriter with an overbearing mother, unfiltered father, nagging wife and dopey older brother on Everybody Loves Raymond, it seems the actor has cracked the code for a more peaceful family life in the real world.
The dedicated family man has been happily married to his wife, Anna, since 1987. The two welcomed four children over the course of their 37-year union: daughter Alexandra, 34, twin sons Matthew and Gregory, 31, and their youngest, Joseph, 26. Their family got slightly bigger this year, as Matthew got married in April and Alexandra got married in September at the New York Public Library. Ray walked his daughter down the aisle and later joked he'd have to do Ice Age 6 to pay for the blowout bash.
As the actor celebrates his 67th birthday on Dec. 21, look back at some cute throwback photos of Ray Romano and his family.
Quiet on Set!
Life imitated art imitated life when Anna, Ally, Matt and Greg visited the set of Everybody Loves Raymond and got to see where their dad worked pretending to be the dad of a daughter named Ally Barone and her twin brothers Geoffrey and Michael.
Oh Baby
For his birthday, Ally posted a photo that showed she and her dad have always had a close bond.

All of his children have followed him into the entertainment industry, and Romano recently joked about his anxiety over their career choices.
"You know how I'm doing it? You know how I'm managing it?" he told PEOPLE. "With medication. ... It's a little stressful to be honest with you, because I know the business and I know even people that have 'it' don't get it. But it's also good because I want them to be passionate about something and go for it. And if that's it, then good. I'm glad."
