It's a boy for Mario Lopez

Mario Lopez and his wife, Courtney, welcomed a baby boy on Monday evening.

People Magazine reports that the baby has been named Dominic, and he is the second child for the couple. Baby Dominic's older sister, who is named Gia Francesca, will be turning three on Wednesday.

Lopez tweeted the announcement and confirmed that both mother and baby were recovering well from the birth, saying, "It’s a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please welcome Dominic Lopez to the world. Couldn’t be happier… Courtney and baby are doing just fine."

According to her dad, Gia was aware of the impending birth of her sibling. “She’s pointing at the baby and saying, ‘There’s a baby in there,’” Mario said during the pregnancy. Not only that, his firstborn was asking about whether she would have a brother or a sister. Mario added, “She wants to know if it’s a boy or a girl, but we don’t know because we’re waiting to find out. That’s kind of tough sometimes, we just don’t know!”

Us Weekly reports that Mario Lopez followed up the first tweet an hour later with another tweet, saying that he was celebrating his son's birth in a bar. Mario and Courtney were wed in December 2012 and announced that they were expecting a second child in February.

Losing the pregnancy weight has been on Courtney's mind. She's hoping that this time around, she loses the weight as easily as she did with the first pregnancy. “My husband is the most supportive man on the earth. He loves my booty,” she said. “I lost the weight pretty quickly the first time, so I’m praying it happens the second time around.”
