Mario Lopez is engaged to Courtney Mazza. According to US Weekly, the dimple-cheeked television host most known for his role as Slater in "Saved By The Bell" proposed to the broadway dancer while vacationing at the beach resort of Ixtapa, Mexcio over the New Year holiday.

"We took a walk alone as the sun was setting," Lopez told the magazine, before citing their two-year-old daughter Gia as another reason.

"I told Courtney that I wanted the mother of my children to have their last name. She was silent at first from shock, then she leaped for joy and did a little jete."

The couple met in 2008, while they were both starring in "A Chorus Line" on Broadway.

In the meantime, Lopez has been outspoken about his Hispanic heritage and his desire to raise his daughter with full knowledge of her cultural background.

Lopez and Mazza plan to wed in Mexico later this year.

Lopez was previously married to actress Ali Landry in 2004, though the marriage was controversially annulled just two weeks later.

I think Mario loves Mario, it will go so long, sorry, but lets face it, hollywoods record stinks, and he's been down this road before.

Oh gee, surprise, surprise surprise. He's proposing to the mother of his child. Shouldn't he of done that before they ever had a child???????

This whole article is irrelevant (I'm still not sure why I clicked on it) but as far as the marriage issue, I think it's time to let people live. To some, marriage is a religious sacrament so I can understand how someone who practices Christianity, Judaism or Islam might feel about cohabiting. But to those of us who aren't religious it becomes a piece of paper, with no bearing on how a child might be raised.

What a guy! He wants to marry her to give his children a last name. No mention of love, lol.
Typical Hollywood.

If only it was possible for someone to love him as much as he loves himself...Um..good luck I guess...He's still a piece of crap

What is so great about this? He finally took responsibility for himself and
is going to have a "legal" family. Not being married does have it's priveleges
though - he can drop kids all over the place and not worry about the messy
divorces that ultimately follow. And, like other irresponsible clowns like him,
because he has the money to pay for these kids, he thinks that he is doing
the right thing. Just another irresponsible jerk as far as I am concerned.
