Mario Lopez is known for his successful career in the entertainment industry, but his most important role is that of a dedicated father to his three children: Gia, Dominic, and Santino.
The actor and television host, who rose to fame starring in “Saved by the Bell,” met his wife Courtney Lopez while working on a Broadway musical in 2008. They tied the knot in Mexico in 2012 and welcomed their daughter Gia two years later.
Gia, now 13, has proven to be a smart, funny, and sensitive child who shares a special bond with her father. Mario often praises her and even wrestles with her, with Gia showing a love for physical activities just like her dad.
Dominic, now 10, is the couple’s second child and keeps his father young with his energetic personality. He shares a close sibling bond with Gia and has demonstrated his athleticism through Jiu-Jitsu competitions.
Santino, the youngest at 4 years old, was considered a miracle by Mario and Courtney, who were unsure if they would have another child. Named after a character from “The Godfather,” Santino has already shown an interest in competing in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments like his older siblings.
Despite their Hollywood upbringing, Mario emphasizes the importance of raising his children with manners and respect for others. The proud father shared his children’s achievements on social media, showcasing their success in both sports and acting.
As Mario Lopez continues his successful career, his greatest joy remains his role as a loving and devoted father to Gia, Dominic, and Santino, passing down the lessons he learned from his immigrant parents to his own children.
