A mini Zack Morris will make it's way into the world as "Saved by the Bell" cast member Mark-Paul Gosselaar and his wife Catriona McGinn have announced they are expecting their first child together. Gosselaar's rep confirmed that the couple will welcome their new baby in September, according to Us Weekly.

The former Bayside hunk from the '90's sitcom, now 39, already has two children with ex-wife Lisa Ann Russell: 9-year-old Michael and 6-year-old Ava. The couple divorced in May 2011 after 15 years of marriage, and Russell is now married to "Survivor" host Jeff Probst, Huffington Post reports.

"Mark-Paul Gosselaar and wife Catriona are thrilled to announce they're expecting their first child together in September," his rep said in a statement to Us.

Gosselaar, who currently stars on "Franklin & Bash," said his is "great" with his kids, who "absolutely adore her."

"We are all really excited for the arrival of our new addition. We've always wanted a big family," Gosselaar said. "The kids are looking forward to a little sibling and are asking a lot of funny questions right now."

Gosselaar and McGinn, an advertising executive, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Santa Ynez, California, in July 2012, after being engaged for a year, states Yahoo Omg.

The soon-to-be father of three also had wonderful things to say about his wife. "Catriona's absolutely gorgeous. She's stunning," Gosselaar gushed. "And she takes my breath away!"

Catriona may not be Zach Morris' long-love Kelly Kapowski from "Saved by the Bell," but the actor seems just as happy to expand his family with the new gal in his life.

Should we call up Mr. Belding and give him the good news?
