The X Factor host took to Twitter Monday to announce that his wife was in labor and they they were eagerly awaiting the arrival of baby number two. Lopez noted that he was in the middle of filming when he got the news that Courtney was in labor.
“Whoa.. Cutting it close. Just wrapped @TheXFactorUSA & I'm rushing to the hospital. Baby Lopez #2 is coming tonight! Baby better wait for me,” he tweeted.
Hours later he shared a shot of him standing next to his wife stating that he was “ready” to see if his wife would give birth to a girl or a boy. As LA Times notes, the couple opted to keep this pregnancy as well as their first a surprise.
Finally Lopez announced, “It's a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please welcome Dominic Lopez to the world! Couldn't be happier... @CourtneyMLopez & baby are doing just fine... :)”
The couple is parents to Gia Francesca who will turn three on Wednesday.
