Actor and 'Extra' host Mario Lopez will soon welcome his first child with girlfriend Broadway dancer Courtney Mazza, People.com reports. Lopez and Mazza met while starring in the Broadway production of 'A Chorus Line'. 

"I'm really excited. I'm happy," Lopez told People. "I can't wait to be a dad." 

From actor to host, producer to writer, Mario Lopez has already made his mark on Hollywood. He is the host of EXTRA and MTV's America's Best Dance Crew. A dancer himself, Lopez took the runner-up title on the third season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars and completed his first run on Broadway as the much-loved character Zach in A Chorus Line. A well-known face in television, notably for his work on NBC's Saved by the Bell and USA network's Pacific Blue, Lopez guest stars as Dr. Mike Hamoui on the F/X network's popular show Nip/Tuck and starred in the highest rated program in ABC Family history, Holiday in Handcuffs, and also opposite Mark Consuelos in the made-for-TV movie Husband for Hire. Lopez is also a recurring commentator on HBO Boxing and authored his first book, Knockout Fitness. He lives in Los Angeles.

Dancer Courtney Mazza has been seen in the Broadway productions of 'A Chorus Line' and 'Cry-Baby'.
