Our hearts are broken. Thank you so much for all the love and support, you&#8217;ll never know how much it means to us.&#8221; The two welcomed daughter <strong>Kaya<\/strong> in 2001.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In her social media tribute, LaRue included a photo of Callahan with fellow former&nbsp;<em>All My Children<\/em> actress, Ripa.

He was a great actor, a really good friend. One of the funniest people I&#8217;ve ever met. He was the ex-husband of my first-born son&#8217;s godmother, Eva LaRue. His name was John Callahan. He was 66 years old\u2014way too young to be taken from us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The co-host continued, &#8220;A gentleman of, I mean,&nbsp;<strong>Ryan<\/strong> [<strong>Seacrest<\/strong>], you two would have loved each other. He would say the funniest things and we were all going through our brains about all of the funny, like the funny Callahan-isms over the years. He was just one of these guys and you know and he just died way too soon. His daughter and my daughter are good friends, they&#8217;re the same age and I just want everyone to know, Eva and Kaya, that we are thinking of you and we are just so sad and so devastated. So, I apologize in advance if I seem out of it. I really actually am, I&#8217;m terribly out of it. You know, forgive me for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"photo-txt-3\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"34\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-photo-text\" readability=\"8\">\n<p>Over the weekend, Ripa also paid tribute to Callahan, writing on Instagram, &#8220;Because there are no words, all i can muster is Rest In Peace #johncallahan My heart breaks for you @evalarue and @kaya_callahan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1135707\/devastated-kelly-ripa-mourns-death-of-all-my-children-co-star-john-callahan?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
