Mario Lopez is going to be a father.  Lopez’s girlfriend is expecting their first child in the fall.

I’m not sure where I have been since I didn’t even know he had a girlfriend.   Being a Celebrity Gossip blogger I like to be in the know.

According to People, Lopez said:

“I’m really excited. I’m happy. I can’t wait to be a dad,”

Lopez and his girlfriend, actress Courtney Mazza, 28, met in 2008 when Lopez starred in A Chorus Line on Broadway.

Lopez, who is known for his bachelor ways, is trading those days in for a child.

What do you think – will a child tame Lopez??
