Extra host Mario Lopez, 39, and his wife Courtney welcomed their second child Monday night.

The proud dad announced the news on Twitter, “It’s a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please welcome Dominic Lopez to the world. Couldn’t be happier… Courtney and baby are doing just fine.”

Baby Dominic will become little brother to his sister Gia Francesca, who will turn three on Wednesday.

The expectant parents posted one last photo before the blessed event with this caption, “Waiting for the Dr… @CourtneyMLopez & I are ready to go! Is it a boy or a girl???”

Mario told PEOPLE that little Gia was very excited about the new baby’s arrival, “She’s been pointing at the baby bump and saying, ‘There’s a baby in there.'”

As for momma Courtney, she is hoping it will be as easy to drop the baby weight as it was after Gia, “My husband is the most supportive man on the earth. He loves my booty. I lost the weight pretty quickly the first time, so I’m praying it happens the second time around.”

Mario’s last tweet came three hours after the birth announcement:
