"I'm really excited. I'm happy. I can't wait to be a dad," Lopez told PEOPLE.
Lopez, 36, and his girlfriend, actress Courtney Mazza, 28, met in 2008 when Lopez starred in "A Chorus Line" on Broadway.

"Of course," Lopez said. "I grew up in a large family. I'm fired up! I don't know what we're having. I'm going to wait to see [the baby's gender] so it will be a surprise."
Lopez is also the host of MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew."
