    He is such a step backwards for Latino men. Cheats on his first wife...and now, gets his girlfriend pregnant before marrying her and boasts' about it all over television. Im sure your parents are proud. LAME!

    A good reason for him to NOT cheat on her AND grow the eff up. He's such a lowlife, he might cheat anyways

    @Kari carry your f#^%ing @ss. You gotta stop judging other people and mind your own rash0le business. You do you and let me do me.

    kari and jessica, shush your mouths. no one cares. go meet on a street and duke it out.

    Kari-I don't have to try and make myself feel better because I have done nothing wrong. I took every step not to get pregnant and did anyways. Never missed a BC pill, not a single one. It is really offensive for someone to tell me that my child is any less important because I don't have a piece of paper. Maybe I should've had an abortion and not taken responsibilty? Life doesn't always go as planned and you have no right to judge me. I am an awesome mother and my son has all the love and support in his life that he could ever ask for. Get a life and stop judging others.

    All I would like to know, is how on earth it took him all the way to 36 to knock someone up??? What a joke!

    YES Tunisia, Mario is GAY!!! He advises women's fashion and make up for AVON. NOW, what part about that isn't GAY!

    CONGRATS! NOW GET MARRIED!

    Great news! Don't bother to get married first. After all society needs MORE unwed pregnancies because it helps kids get good parenting, do well in school and have good relationships. Also the Hispanic community thanks you as they needed another good male role model. Jerk!

    NO Bunny, Mario is NOT gay at all. He and Courtney are dating for real and they are having a baby for real!

  • March 12, 2010 - 1:09pm bunny

    So, this "Courtney" will be the baby maker for Mario and his gay lover,right?

  • March 12, 2010 - 2:32am liz

    Jessica @ 4:15 pm - To echo your response to me: How in DENIAL are you? It is truly pitiful for any parents to try to convince themselves that they haven't done anything wrong by deciding to have an illegitimate child. Do whatever it takes to make yourself feel better, though. Good luck.

    This guy would never get past my front door. He does nothing for me.

  • March 11, 2010 - 8:16pm TCYB

    Tie the guy down. Sad. Where is the massive child support?
