Mario Lopez Shares Sweet Moment for His Growing Family
Hey there, friends! So, here's a heartwarming story about Mario Lopez, the beloved TV personality and dad of three, who recently had a reason to smile even wider on Thursday, March 12. That’s because his precious baby boy, Santino, hit the 8-month mark! To mark this adorable milestone, Mario took to Instagram and shared a super-cute photo of Santino hanging out with their new furry family member, Oscar. If you ask me, that's the kind of wholesome family moment we all need more of these days.
In his Instagram caption, Mario, who's 36 and still rocking it, couldn’t help but gush about his expanding family. He wrote, “Santino is 8 months old today! Here they are, Sonny, Julio, and Oscar. The 3 Hermanos. Looks like he’s wearing ‘em out! #LopezBoys.” If you're anything like me, you're already envisioning the cuteness overload of little Santino surrounded by his playful pets.

Expanding the Lopez Family: A New Pup Named Oscar
Just a day before Santino’s big day, on Wednesday, March 11, Mario made another exciting announcement. In an Instagram video, he revealed that the Lopez family had welcomed a new furry friend into the fold. “Lopez fambam here with a very important announcement: we decided we are going to expand the family, right guys? So please welcome the newest member of familia Lopez, Oscar De La Hoya Lopez,” he said with that signature charm of his, showing off the adorable pup.
Revisiting the Arrival of Santino
It wasn’t too long ago, back in July 2019, when Mario and his wife, Courtney Laine, celebrated the birth of Santino. Mario couldn’t contain his excitement and shared the happy news on Instagram. “It’s a BOY!!!! Healthy, beautiful baby boy … Santino Rafael Lopez!” he wrote. “Baby and mom are doing great. Mrs. Lopez came through like a Champ! #BabyLopez3.” That’s the kind of dad pride that’s impossible not to love.
And guess what? Santino isn’t the only kiddo keeping the Lopez household lively. Mario and Courtney, who’s 37, are also proud parents to their two older children, Gia, 9, and Dominic, 6. But wait, there’s more! If you're wondering whether the Lopez family might be growing even further, Mario dropped a hint in December 2019 when he told Us Weekly that he’s already thinking about baby number four!

“I always told [Courtney] I’d like to keep going if it was up to me, but I’m not the one having them,” the Saved By the Bell star said with a laugh. “So, maybe she had a change of heart! Maybe she’s gonna surprise me with another Christmas present. We’ve got a 4-month-old at home, so I say if we’re gonna do it, let’s just keep it going.”
Mario added that while he’d love to have “as many” kids as they’re “blessed to be able to have,” he’s also completely content with the amazing family they’ve built so far. And honestly, who could blame him? With Santino, Gia, and Dominic, not to mention their adorable pets, the Lopez family already seems like the perfect blend of love and chaos.
