Broadway veteran Mario Lopez has written a new children’s Mario and Baby Gia, which will be released on September 27.


The book is named for Lopez’s daughter, Gia Francesca, who was born to the actor and girlfriend Courtney Laine Mazza on September 11, 2010.

Lopez starred on Broadway in A Chorus Line, and is best known for his television work, including Extra, Saved by the Bell, and Dancing with the Stars. He will host a new reality series, H8R, which will bring celebrities face-to-face with the people who love to hate them.

Mazza’s Broadway credits include A Chorus Line, The Little Mermaid, and Cry-Baby.
