It looks like we have a new Disney star on our hands! On Tuesday, Mario Lopez's 5-year-old daughter, Gia, signed her first official contract [3] for Disney Channel's animated show Elena of Avalor, which premiered in July [4]. Mario was beaming with pride [5] as he guided his little girl during her first day in the studio, calling himself "Dad Coach."
Gia had a blast! Honored to be a part of such a wonderful show & team :) https://t.co/GxUHhurYda [6]

Earlier this Summer, the Extra host announced that his daughter will be recording the voice of Estrella [8], a half-bird, half-jaguar character. We can't wait to see more behind-the-scenes footage of Gia's voice-acting debut, but judging by the clip of her in action below, it looks like she's already doing a great job!
