Actress Sheena Halili and husband Jeron Manzanero took to social media to share their intimate gender reveal party for their baby number three.
On Sheena’s Instagram page, she shared how she, Jeron and their kids were excited guessing their newest bundle of joy’s gender.
“It’s a…..🩷🩵 Sharing our simple and intimate gender reveal with you guys! 🥰,” Sheena wrote.
Before learning the result, the family shared their predictions about the baby's gender.
“Feeling ko girl kasi yung mga symptoms parang kay Martina pero after first trimester parang same sila ni Jio naman. This time di ko mahulaan,” Sheena said.
Their daughter Martina said she was hoping for a baby sister but had a feeling the baby would be a boy, saying: “Gusto ko girl. Pero feeling ko baby boy. I love you baby so much.”
Jeron, meanwhile, revealed that he was leaning toward the possibility of having another son.
“Kapag boy, magiging only girl lang si Martina so that's make me excited. Kapag girl, magkakaroon ako ng dalawang prinsesa and only boy si Jio. Di ko alam pero feeling ko boy,” he said.
The family's prediction was eventually confirmed during the celebration when they cut into a cake that revealed a blue-colored filling, indicating that Baby No. 3 is a boy.
“It’s a boy,” Sheena screamed in excitement.
The actress later shared that she was happy with the result, noting that Martina would now have two younger brothers looking out for her.
“Happy ako kasi dahil boy, mababantayan nila si Ate Martina,” she said.
Jeron added, “Siyempre masaya ako kasi madadagdagan yung barkada ko.”
Their son Jio likewise shared that he was happy about having a baby brother, while Martina was already thinking ahead to their family's Halloween plans as a family of five.
“Happy ako kasi boy kasi mag-The Incredibles tayo sa Halloween,” she said.
Friends and fellow celebrities quickly filled the comments section with congratulatory messages.
“Beautiful incredible faaaam 😍 SO SO HAPPY❤️,” Valeen Montenegro said.
Veteran actress Coney Reyes also extended her well wishes, commenting, “One beautiful blessed family! Love you ❤️.”
The gender reveal comes months after Sheena first announced that she and Jeron were expecting their third child. In April, the actress shared a lighthearted video revealing her pregnancy to fans.
