Keeping things casual with jeans and a black top, Mario Lopez struck a few poses on the red carpet as he arrived at his birthday bash on Friday night (October 3).

Held at The Bank nightclub at Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Lopez opted to ring in his 35th a week early - as his actual birthday happens to be October 10th.

Just voted as People magazine's Hottest Bachelor, fitness buff Mario Lopez has a shocking confession to make. “I was a chubby baby. I looked like a sumo wrestler. My mom had to pull the folds apart when she bathed me!”

The exercise guru, who's recently single following his split with Karina Smirnoff, says that a full slate of projects has kept him off the dating market - but that hasn't completely stopped him from thinking about dating.

Cute couple Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff enjoyed some time at the beach in Miami, Florida on Sunday (May 25).

Taking a break from promoting his new book Knockout Fitness, Mario tossed around a football with his Dancing with the Stars girlfriend on his shoulders - trying to do the "Dirty Dancing" lift to no avail.
