MANILA -- Newlyweds Kiray Celis and Stephan Estopia are now trying for their first baby, as they dream of having a big family with seven children.
“Thirty-two na ako this year, kaya excited na talaga asawa ko. Sana kayanin ko pa seven,” Celis said during a thanksgiving party in Taguig City on Sunday.
According to the actress, it is her husband who is more eager to conceive, even closely monitoring her monthly cycle.

“Siya may plano. May app siya... updated. Binabantayan. Siya yung excited, talagang noon pa man kinukulit na ako,” she revealed.
Celis added that her desire for a big family is rooted in her childhood experience growing up with siblings.
“Seven talaga. Apat kami magkakapatid. Tapos noong nabigyan ko ng bahay family ko, nagawa ko pangarap ko na sari-sariling kwarto—pero ang lungkot pala. Di ko na nakikita kapatid ko, so dadamihan ko,” she said.
The wellness and beauty CEO also shared that while she feels ready for motherhood, she remains deeply connected to her loved ones.

She also admitted that despite enjoying married life, she is still adjusting to the changes it brings.
“Ready naman anytime… parang ready na ako. Pero hindi pa rin nawawala yung family, hindi pa rin malayo. Sabi nga nila, kailangan ko bigyan ng chance sarili ko at asawa ko naman—kasi magkaka-family ako,” she said. “Filipino tayo—hirap let go sa pamilya. Hirap i-let go pamangkin. Kasi sila, anak ko.”
