JHONG Hilario finally welcomed his daughter with his partner of seven years, Maia Azores.
On Instagram on Saturday, Hilario shared a photo of his newborn who they named Sarina.
“Hello my LOVE!!!” he wrote in the caption.
Among those who quickly sent him congratulatory messages were his “It’s Showtime” co-hosts Vice Ganda, Amy Perez, Teddy Corpuz, and Jugs Jugueta.
It was last February when Hilario announced he and Azores were expecting a baby girl.
“Sobrang excited [ako] kasi first baby,” he shared at that time. “Sabi ko nga, itong pandemic, hindi ganoon kasama, kasi merong blessing na dumating.”
In the same interview, Hilario admitted having apprehensions about being a father amid a global health crisis, saying, “Lahat naman, kahit sino, kahit saan ka magpunta, talagang delikado.”
Currently, Hilario continues to work during the pandemic as a contestant in “Your Face Sounds Familiar.” The network decided to temporarily suspend the live staging of “It’s Showtime” following the surge in coronavirus disease 2019 cases in the country.(ABS-CBN News)
