Baby boom continues in show business

It seems the stars and their significant others are lovey dovey to the max Decembers and Januarys as many of them give birth this time of the year.

Camille Prats-Yambao gave birth to Nala Camilla. Her son Nathan already has so many endorsements so I am sure baby Nala will also rake in a lot of diaper and baby product collaborations. Nikka Garcia, wife of Patrick Garcia, had Michelle Patrice Pia, their third daughter. Amazing racer Jeck Maierhofer was blessed to have baby Sarene. This is the fourth “Maierhofer kid” and the children are gaining a following on social media because of their cuteness. Celebrity businesswoman Charisse Tinio, owner of Nice Print Photo, had Sienna Dream last 2017. The lovely mother of three has been gaining a following due to her clients in Nice Print Photo like Kathryn Bernardo. Sexy actress Valerie Bangs Garcia-Birchmore gave birth to cute Amelia. Bangs is based in the United Kingdom having married a half-british half Filipino. Actress and pastry chef LJ Moreno-Alapag has baby boy Calen Asher. The television host is now a mother of three.

If in 2017 the baby girls won in the gender count, this year the boy boomers take over as “Banana Sundae” comedienne Sunshine Garcia Castro gave birth to a handsome baby boy she named after her husband Bulacan  Board Member Alex Castro. The sexy comedienne writes on Instagram, “Baby A is the best birthday gift I could get this year.” Shamsey Supsup-Lee is ecstatic to have Peter Nathan Lee. The beauty queen shares her experience with Gossip Girl, “Honestly after delivering my first baby I told myself that I will never have a baby again. During my first delivery, I had to go through and emergency C-section because my epidural wore off just in time when I was fully dilated. But as you can all see now, my plans have changed and we now welcome Peanut (short for Peter Nathan) in our lives. I want to thank my OB, my anaesthesiologist and the whole medical team for a successful VBAC delivery (Vaginal Birth after C section delivery)  and, of course, my husband Lloyd for believing that I could do a VBAC instead of a C-section (caesarian delivery).” DJ Nicole Hyala is also having a baby boy in two months. The radio host and celebrity endorser is naming her baby boy Prince Claren. “We already have a princess and now our prince is coming. May I ask your readers Giselle to pray for my safe delivery,” she said.
