Ria Atayde shared her journey as a first-time mom.
On her Instagram page, the actress posted snapshots of her journey with husband, Zanjoe Marudo, following the birth of their first child.
"A little MIA but a whole lot of life and love these past few months. Thank you to everyone who has helped make it easier and a lot of more fun — especially @onlyzanjoemarudo 🤍," she said.
In her post, Ria shared a peek into her life with Zanjoe and their baby—from her labor to moments with friends and family.
Fans online were quick to react to Ria's post.
"Congratulations Zanjoe and Ria👏," one fan commented.
"Motherhood looks good on you, mama Ri!" another fan wrote.
"Big congrats!!! Sooo happy for you both!!!" another fan posted.
Ria announced her pregnancy back in June 2024 on Father's Day as she penned a message for Zanjoe to mark the occasion.
"To the dad you already are and the dad I know you’ll be. Love you @onlyzanjoemarudo," she posted. "So excited for this new chapter with you."
In an interview back in September 2024, Ria's brother, Arjo Atayde, and her mother, Slyvia Sanchez, expressed their excitement for the arrival of the baby of the actress.
“I am very excited sobra, it’s the first of us cousins in the Ataydes to have a pamangkin. Just overwhelmed by the situation of the Ria and Zanjoe story, I’m just here to support them all the way,” Arjo said.
Meanwhile, Sylvia shared: "Meron akong binili na sapatos sa Cannes, three years ago. Dalawa, kasi maganda siya. Kung sino 'yung una kong magiging apo, pagbili ko sabi ko ‘ay wala pa akong apo’. Pero nung nakita ko, ang ganda, wala sa Pilipinas. Pero sige bibilhin kita. Mapupunta ito sa una kong apo."
Ria and Zanjoe tied the knot in March 2024.
The couple announced their engagement in February 2024 after dating for two years.
