Popular food vlogger Ninong Ry, whose real name is Ryan Morales Reyes, is set to become a father of three after sharing a surprise pregnancy and gender reveal just days after his birthday.
On his social media page, Ninong Ry posted a video featuring himself and his non-showbiz partner Belle, where they confirmed they are expecting another child.
“Happy birthday sa'kin hehe,” he simply wrote in a caption.
In the first part of the video, Ninong Ry can be seen holding a pregnancy test while closing his eyes. The food vlogger then counted down to three before showing the positive result.
As the two went in for a hug and a kiss, they revealed Belle’s tummy, showing her baby bump.
In the next clip, the family had their intimate gender reveal with Ninong Ry holding a black balloon printed with the words “Girl or Boy.”.
“Anong gusto mo?” Belle asked Ninong Ry to which he and his eldest son answered, “Girl. Girl na lang.”
The family was then shocked as blue confetti appeared after Ninong Ry popped the balloon.
“Oh my God! Tatlong lalaki. Ayoko na papuputol ko na ‘to,” he quipped.
Celebrities and personalities expressed their happiness for the family’s soon-to-be newest addition in the comment section.
“Congratulations!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️,” Kapamilya actress Iza Calzado greeted,
Host Eri Neeman also said, “Congratulations to you both. How precious. ♥️.”
Team Payaman’s Burong commented, “Congrats and happy birthday Nong! 🙌.”
Ninong Ry and Belle previously welcomed their son Rue in 2024. The couple first shared their pregnancy journey during his guest appearance on Magandang Buhay.
In an interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, the vlogger opened up about how fatherhood has changed his life, embracing what he calls his “Daddy Ry” era.
“Masaya eh, kasi sa totoo lang ah, yung hirap akong gumising sa iba. Hirap talaga kasi natutulog ako mga ala singko ganyan. Kailangan ko ng bumangon mga alas nuwebe. Hirap ako matulog talaga. Ang ginagawa ng asawa ko, dinadala yung anak ko, dinadala sa kuwarto. Tapos pinapalo-palo yung mukha ko. Pag ibang tao gumawa sa akin, kakabahan, pero ‘pag siya, tuwang tuwang pa ako,” he shared.

He also hopes his kids inherit his perseverance and love for his work.
“Gusto ko lang makita niya na pinangangatawanan ko yung trabaho ko. Alam mo, isa sa mga bagay na gusto ko, kasi hindi naman ako pinakamahusay na tao sa mundo eh. Alam mo yun? Pero I can proudly say na masipag ako. Masipag akong tao. And gusto kong manahin iyan ng anak ko,” he said. “Naniniwala akong yung sipag ang magdadala sa isang tagumpay," he added.
