As news that his divorce to Jennie Garth was finalized spread on Wednesday, Peter Facinelli wasn’t moping – he was out having a ball with youngest daughters Lola Ray, 10, and Fiona Eve, 6½.

The Nurse Jackie star took his girls to the E3 Expo in Los Angeles to test out the Skylanders SWAP Force video game.

“It’s the one thing they know they can beat dad at – video games,” Facinelli joked to reporters.

As Facinelli helped his little ladies with the game, he dished on his Father’s Day plans, which actually happened last weekend, since his daughters will be out of town on the holiday.

“I had a really nice day with them, we went to Universal Studios,” he shared. And his favorite gift? A song, from daughter Fiona.

“She wrote me a Father’s Day song and she played it on the guitar, it was really cool,” Facinelli shared, proudly. “Something about, ‘I love my dad, I love my dad, makes me feel better when I’m sad … I love you to the moon and back.’”
