Mario Lopez is all set to be a proud papa once more, announcing on “Extra” recently that he and wife Courtney are preparing to add to their family.

The couple already have a daughter, Gia, who is 2 years old and excited to become a big sister. The toddler appeared with Lopez when he made the announcement, wearing a “Big Sister” t-shirt.

“I am the happiest father in the world. We cannot wait to welcome baby Lopez number two into our lives,” Lopez said.

The announcement coincides with another big announcement released this week: Lopez has been invited back as co-host of “The X-Factor”, while Khloe Kardashian has not. The news comes after some viewers complained about the chemistry the pair had, saying Kardashian seemed uncomfortable and awkward onstage.
