Mario Lopez Marries!
by Shannon Keirnan
Ladies, the last of the dancin’ men is off the market.
Mario Lopez, smiley, toe-tapping host on “Extra” and “X Factor,” has married his girlfriend of four years, actress Courtney Mazza. The two met in 2008 while working on Broadway’s “A Chorus Line” together.
Lopez, 39, and his lovely lady exchanged hand-written vows beneath a beach gazebo in Punta Mita, Mexico on Saturday.
The location was also where Lopez popped the initial question.
The ceremony was reportedly at the sea-side estate owned by Joe Francis. Yes, of “Girls Gone Wild.” Classy.
Their two-year-old daughter, Gia, acted as flower girl, and wore a dress designed to mirror her mothers’ Ines di Santo design.
Guests included Lopez’s friend (and oft rumored lover) Eva Longoria. A mariachi band serenaded guests, and Buddy Valastro of “Cake Boss” presented the couple with a “Winter Wonderland-meets-beach-themed” wedding cake.
Lopez, who was one of People’s Hottest Bachelors, had previously been married to “Heroes” actress Ali Landry. In 2004, their marriage was annulled, after a whopping two weeks of bliss.
This is Mazza’s first marriage.
Because what is a Hollywood marriage without the self-promotion, the wedding will be featured on a two-hour special, “Mario & Courtney’s Wedding Fiesta,” set to air on TLC December 8th.
The two also documented the birth of daughter Gia in a special inventively called “Saved by the Baby,” so if you’re dying to know every intricate detail about the two, it’s available.
Lopez and Mazza are also planning to continue reproducing, so expect more.
“We're working on that,” he has said about expanding his family. “Right after the wedding. We'll wait for the guests to leave and then we're getting right on that!"
Congratulations to the over-sharing couple!
