Mario Lopez Smiles with All 3 of His Kids as He Receives Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame: 'What I Love Most'

"As great an honor as it is to submit my family name here, what I’m most proud of is that my kids are here to see this," the actor said

Mario Lopez had the best support system as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On Thursday, Oct. 10, the Access Hollywood host, 51, was granted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actor brought his three kids – daughter Gia, 14, and sons Dominic, 11, and Santino, 5 — and his wife Courtney Lopez with him to the ceremony, where the family of five was photographed by his star.

Before unveiling his star, Lopez made a speech and addressed his family, sharing, "Today, I happen to be turning 51 years old and I’m still blessed to be doing what I love the most. Only now, what I love most is being a dad."

He continued, "As great an honor as it is to submit my family name here, what I’m most proud of is that my kids are here to see this — so they know that if they don’t just spend their time but use their time, they can achieve anything they want in their lives."

In August, Lopez posted a Reel on his Instagram as he shared that his three kids were celebrating their first day of school.

The three siblings could be seen holding hands as they posed in their school uniforms, standing in front of a display of balloons that read "Back to School." Lopez also shared solo shots of all three kids as they headed out the door.

"The Lopez Kids are officially back to school! They have homework, means we have homework…" he captioned his post.

For Thanksgiving last year, Lopez and his wife Courtney shared a video on Instagram about their "Lopez Fam Thanksgiving Traditions," which, of course, includes spending lots of time with their three kids.

"We really don't have any staples other than obviously we're all together as a family," Lopez shared, adding that they either spend time at his home, "Casa Lopez," or his sister Marissa Wong's house.

"We just make sure we're all together," he added, demonstrating with an adorable photo of the family of five clad in PJs and piled into one bed together.

The TV host said that in addition to the traditional turkey, his family also enjoys Italian and Mexican cuisine on Thanksgiving, as well as lots of "good drinks" and "good movies."

"And relax," Courtney, 41, added. "We're in sweats. We don't get dressed up."
