Mario Lopez, Wife Courtney Reveal Name Of Newborn Son
Mario Lopez’s family is finally a #LopezPartyOfFive after the television personality’s wife gave birth to a baby boy.
Former “Saved by the Bell” star and TV host Mario Lopez has welcomed another bundle of joy with his wife, “Pittsburgh” actress Courtney. The couple named their third child Santino Rafael Lopez.
“It’s a BOY!!! Healthy, beautiful baby boy… Santino Rafael Lopez!” the proud father of three captioned his post that features the first photos of the newborn. “Baby & Mom are going great. Mrs. Lopez came through like a Champ! #BabyLopez3.”
Santino, being the youngest, joins siblings Gia, 8, and Dominic, 5, in the Lopez household.
Mario and Courtney first announced the pregnancy news back in January, when the couple shared Instagram posts regarding the pregnancy.
On Courtney’s Instagram announcement on Jan. 12, she shared pictures of her children with Dominic sporting a “Best Big Brother” t-shirt and Gia wearing a “Best Big Sister” tank top from Chaser Kids, as well as their dog with a “Big Brother” shirt. Mario is also seen in one of the pictures kissing his wife’s baby bump. "Oh BABY!! Here we again," Courtney captioned.
The “Extra” host, on the other hand, posted a sweet family video with each of the family members going around to share their life updates.
In the video update, Gia revealed that she did gymnastics, dance and piano and that she was “very busy at school.” Dominic then shared that he did wrestling while also doing gymnastics and jiu-jitsu. When it was time for Courtney to share hers, she surprised fans with her pregnancy announcement. “I’m having a baby,” Courtney sang excitedly while revealing her baby bump.
“We are adding to the team! We’re gonna be a party of five,” Lopez continued.
Despite their busy schedules, both Mario and Courtney wouldn’t want to have it any other way.
Mario told “Today” that his wife, kids and dogs complement everything in his life and that he considers it a team effort now. He also mentioned that it was the happiest he’s ever been and that he feels very blessed with everything that’s going on both professionally and personally.
On the topic of raising kids, Mario explained that they are trying their best to raise them right and that it’s important as parents to be united and have constant communication. He added that his parents did that to him and that he chooses to do it with his kids, as well.
