Mario Lopez Is Hoping His Wife Gives Birth To A Boy

An overwhelming majority of celebrities expecting children don’t specify which sex they’d rather have. They don’t want to put their feelings on record in case they wind up with the other, but apparently, Mario Lopez isn’t a member of that cautious pack. The affable X Factor host, whose wife, Courtney Mazza, is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child, has his fingers crossed that he’ll have a son, and he doesn’t care who knows it.

Here’s what he told US Magazine on the red carpet of the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s 16th annual Impact Awards Gala at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles.

”I already have a girl, so if we have a boy that would be nice. But I won't be disappointed if we don't."

Mazza is due at the end of the summer; so, if she and Lopez wanted to find out the sex of the baby, they could do it with some certainty. They don’t want to though. They’re planning to keep it old school by keeping the sex a secret until the big day. That might create some last minute scrambling and some surprising reveals to family members, but it’ll also add some suspense to the big delivery.

Regardless of whether young Gia winds up with a brother or a sister, the family will no doubt adjust and be happier for it. Here’s to hoping Mazza and Lopez are able to balance their time and resources in order to prosper in both their personal lives and their careers.
