Lopez and Mazza, 28, who met while costarring in Broadway's A Chorus Line, waited until delivery day to learn their baby's sex.
"Where else in life do you get such special surprises?" Lopez, who penned a book for first-time dads due out next year, asks. "I hope with all our kids it will be a surprise."
