The couple is elated by the news of their baby on the way. In a statement, Lopez said, “Courtney and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve waited my whole life to be a dad, this is a true blessing.”

Is Lopez ready to change diapers in his new role as daddy? “Of course,” he says. “I grew up in a large family. I’m fired up!” As for whether or not he’s hoping for a boy or girl, the former Dancing With the Stars contestant doesn’t seem to care. “I don’t know what we’re having. I’m going to wait to see so it will be a surprise.”

A friend of the couples says, “Mario is over the moon with joy since finding out he’s having a baby. She’s approximately three months pregnant and is healthy and happy.”
