- Mario Lopez's Heartwarming Love Story
- They have three children together
- The couple married in 2012
Their journey together took a significant step when they welcomed their first child, daughter Gia Francesca, into the world in 2010. This was followed by their heartfelt union in December 2012 in the beautiful setting of Punta Mita, Mexico. Their joyous outdoor ceremony, complete with a mariachi band and Gia as the flower girl, was captured for the TLC special 'Mario and Courtney's Wedding Fiesta.'
Throughout their relationship, Mario and Courtney have been actively sharing moments of their journey on social media, from endearing tributes to each other to updates about their growing family.
Meet Mario Lopez's Wife, Courtney Mazza
Mazza is a multifaceted talent, excelling in modeling, acting, dancing, and singing from a young age. Fate brought her and Mario together during their performances in the Broadway revival of 'A Chorus Line' in 2008. Mario took on the role of show director Zach, while Courtney served as an understudy for three different roles.
Reflecting on their initial encounter, Mario shared on 'Access Hollywood' in April 2020, "I was doing a six-month run on a show called A Chorus Line, and towards the last two months of the run, Courtney Mazza, this little Italian girl from Pittsburgh, came on the show."

While Mario was captivated by Courtney's talent, he admitted that she didn't initially seem interested. Undeterred, he persisted in trying to win her over, and eventually, he secured a date with Courtney—although she didn't show up. Fortunately for Mario, Courtney rescheduled, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Inside their enduring Relationship
After two years of dating, Mario and Courtney celebrated the arrival of their first child, daughter Gia Francesca Lopez, in September 2010. Mario proposed to Courtney during a beachfront stroll in January 2012, explaining to 'Us Weekly' that he wanted the mother of his children to share their last name. Courtney was initially speechless, then overjoyed, calling it the "best moment of [her] life" alongside the birth of their daughter.
Without delay, Mario and Courtney exchanged vows in December of the same year, and their ceremony was broadcast on TLC. Their second bundle of joy, son Dominic Lopez, made his entrance into the world in September 2013, followed by another son, Santino Rafael Lopez, born in July 2019.
Over the years, Mario and Courtney have shared glimpses of their children's lives. In October 2019, Mario posted an Instagram photo of their kids dressed as characters from 'Saved by The Bell' for Halloween: Gia as Bayside High cheerleader "Kelly Kapowski", Dominic as "Zack Morris", and Santino as Mario's character, "A.C. Slater". How sweet is that?
