Mario Lopez & Courtney Mazza welcomes baby girl Gia Francesca

Actor/TV host Mario Lopez and his girlfriend Courtney Mazza welcomed their first child and it's a baby girl!

Courtney gave birth in Burbank, California on Saturday, September 11 and they named the newborn Gia Francesca Lopez. The baby weighs 6 lbs., 4 oz.

Mario told Extra, “We are so overjoyed. What an amazing, wonderful and overwhelming experience to welcome our daughter into the world.”

Taking advantage of his first fatherhood experience, Mario's planned is to write a book and create a reality show.

"There's so much out there for women but not so much for men, and I want to be a very hands-on dad," he said.

"I think having a humorous but informative way to tell that story would be great for a show."

He is seeing a big dollar sign with his new experience and with reality shows are booming, Mario want to just a piece of the pie.
