Tiffani Thiessen and her husband, artist and actor Brady Smith, are expecting their first baby next May, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“We are over the moon!” the couple said in a statement. “It’s something we’ve wanted for a long time and we are thrilled that it’s actually happening.”

Balancing motherhood with her new role on USA’s drama “White Collar” will be a welcome adjustment for the star, best known for her work on “Saved By the Bell” and the original “Beverly Hills 90210.”

“I’ve never done it — it’s going to be a whole new thing,” she told PEOPLE in May when talking about the idea of becoming a mom.

Thiessen, 35, and Smith have been married since 2005.

Just because Tiffani Thiessen went to her high school reunion, that doesn’t mean she wants to go back to high school! After the much-anticipated Saved by the Bell cast reunion, Tiffani tells In Touch exclusively that going back to her 90210 days is not in her cards. Formerly the scheming Valerie Malone on the high school drama, Tiffani tells In Touch, “I feel I have moved on in another direction. But the show is great.”

The star said she has new work to focus on in her post-graduate life, with a role in the USA Network’s series White Collar. “I am blessed to have a job,” she expressed, but said it will be difficult to be taping in New York, far from her husband Brady Smith in LA — whom she’s never been apart from in their four-year marriage. “It’s going to be really hard, but we are going to try and make it work and be back and forth. Luckily, I don’t have to work every day.”

It’s a reunion 20 years in the making … and a story that took over a year in planning.

When the cast of Saved by the Bell assembled for this week’s People photo shoot and cover story, everyone breathed a sigh of relief-including Mario Lopez, who nearly missed the whole thing.

“Everybody knew the 20-year anniversary was coming up,” says Lopez. “This People story has been in the works for over a year, long before [late night host] Jimmy Fallon started talking about it. We were all excited about it.”

But Lopez’s work ethic almost prevented the reunion from coming to fruition. “I’m so busy. I was concerned about my schedule,” says Lopez, who in the past year alone has danced on Broadway in A Chorus Line, become the new host of TV’s Extra and written a fitness book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness. The night before the People shoot in Los Angeles he was making a public appearance in Canada, across the country, and arrived on set straight from the airport after a seven-hour flight.

And now? Fans are clamoring for the next step: a reunion show. “Everybody is fired up,” he says. “People keep coming up to me saying ‘When are you guys going to do a show?’”

An actual reunion episode will have to wait, as Lopez is hardly taking time off. First up, he’s returning as host for the fourth season of America’s Best Dance Crew, which debuts this Sunday on MTV. “Expect another hot season,” Lopez promises – just don’t expect the Dancing with the Stars runner-up to hit the dance floor as well. “I wouldn’t make it past the first round!” he swears. “These kids are extremely talented and athletic.”

Lopez’s next project will be promoting his new children’s book, Mud Tacos. “It’s stories about my sister Marisa and me growing up. My grandmother was always cooking, and she never let us in the house. So in the backyard, we made taco shells out of leaves and meat out of mud,” he says. “The book encourages kids to use their imagination … plus you learn a little Spanish. I think kids are going to dig it.”
