His father, Anatasio Lopez, was a Mexican emigrant, from Nayarit. His mother, Frieda, was born in Los Angeles, of Mexican descent. George has a daughter, actress Mayan Lopez, with his former wife Ann Serrano.

George’s paternal grandparents were named Francisco Lopez and Josefa.

George’s maternal grandfather was John Hernandez (the son of Pedro Hernandez and Raphaela Vargas). John was born in California, to parents from Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.

George’s maternal grandmother was Benita N. Torres (the daughter of Alfonso Torres and Manulea Mares). Benita was born in California. Manuela was born in Santiago Apostol, Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico, the daughter of Lucio Mares and Maria Guadalupe Héras. George’s step-grandfather was named Refugio Gutierrez.

A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Lopez Tonight (2009) stated that George’s genetic ancestry is:

*55% European

*9% East Asian
*4% Sub-Saharan African

The exact accuracy of the DNA tests on Lopez Tonight has been questioned by genealogist Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak.

    Too bad DNZ tests are fake.

    Indians, Arabs, Middle Easteners get labeled EUROPEAN
    even though they were around before Europeans existed, so for all we know, George Lopez could be part Pakistani, NOT European.

    There isn’t a category for Indian or Australoid either.
    It’s bogus

    Also Siblings get different results on it.
    You heard me. Brothers and sisters from the same parents get DIFFERENT results from those DNA tests.

      Well I don’t know if the DNZ test are fake or not,but I do agree with the other stuff.Also like I said before,they tend to change definitions whenever they feel like it.That why Caucasian has been changed 4 time in the last hundred years;each time to include new groups;while whose black has been shrunk lol .Also with 64trillions different possible combos between two parents, each offspring has a unique combination of genes.That why kids of mixed bloodlines can look like this:

    well i just watch a show called black in latin america and it states that between mexico and south america and the caribbean had more black as slaves than main land america and some of these place mixed with the blacks right a way some places didn’t teach them about there blackness just abou the spanish side witch was white at the time. my now a lot of the black blood has been deluted in some places and some you can see the mix but in the world where the white man rules white is always right that why light skin and weavy to stranght hair is alway favored.
