The secret is out!

After months of speculations and a somewhat-giveaway "teaser" for the big announcement earlier tonight, January 5, social media stars Janella Salvador and Markus Paterson came clean as they presented to the world their cute and lovable baby Jude Trevor.

The "M & J" YouTube Live video premiered at 8 p.m. and the couple were seen vlogging some of their experiences that was once hidden to the public.

Watch the couple's announcement here:


At first Janella admitted that she was skeptical about revealing their baby, saying: "If you're dad and I can have you all to ourselves together in our own quiet world, we would."

"But that would be selfish, you're too precious not to be shared. The world deserve to see the precious smiles you give us, the ones that melt our hearts."


"The world deserves to see you grow into your own unique self. I can't believe you're mine," she ended.

As seen on the vlog, they knew about Jude's gender on May 30, 2020 while the big day in which Janella gave birth happened on Oct. 20, 2020.

Among those who expressed their love, joy, and congratulations to the new family were Janella's mother Janine Desiderio, Markus' father George Trevor Paterson, celebrities Erich Gonzales, Kyle Echarri, Maja Salvador, among others.

The proud and excited new dad Markus ended the vlog saying: "There isn't enough words to describe how much love I have for you. The minute I saw you I knew I would do anything to protect you...You are loved forever and always by your mother and I."

Salvador, 22, rose to fame via the popular Kapamilya teleserye “Be Careful With My Heart.” She is the daughter of “Miss Saigon” stage actress Jenine Desiderio and singer-songwriter Juan Miguel Salvador.

Paterson, also 22 years old, is a professional football player based in the Philippines. He debuted in the movie “Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wi-fi” and has appeared in several Kapamilya shows.

Best of luck to the new, young parents!
