Mario Lopez: Baby on the Way

He’s always been a favorite with the ladies, and now Mario Lopez is about to embark on another journey in his life- fatherhood.

The “Saved by the Bell” stud has announced that he and his girlfriend, actress Courtney Mazza, have a baby on the way.

And though he has a reputation as a playboy, Mario says he’s ready to buckle down and be responsible with his parenting role.

“I’m really excited. I’m happy. I can’t wait to be a dad. I grew up in a large family. I’m fired up! I don’t know what we’re having. I’m going to wait to see the baby’s gender, so it will be a surprise.”
