FOR the first time, John Lloyd Cruz has confirmed news about his girlfriend Ellen Adarna giving birth to their son.
In his Instagram post Oct. 1, John Lloyd showed a snapshot of his handwritten poem titled “Mga Ibon,” whom he dedicates to “Elias.”
While he didn’t exactly say that Elias is his son, it was previously reported that he and Ellen named their baby Elias Modesto.
John Lloyd expressed through the poem how fatherhood has filled him with joy and contentment in life.
His poem read in part: “Mangmang pagdating sa’yo
“Sa iisang tunog mong taglay
“Sa kaaya-ayang sorpresa ng paglapit mo
“Sa imahe ng kalayaan na tiyak iwinawaksi mo
“Sa perpektong hubog ng iyong galaw
“Sa lupa
“Sa ere
“Sa tubig
“Sa’yong talentong alingawngaw ng isang ina.”
John Lloyd went on to describe how he enjoys quiet moments with his little one.
“Sa’yong malabalong papel sa ating nakaratay nang sistema
“Ako’y mangmang pagdating sa ‘yo
“Ang paulit-ulit mong huni ay kalinga sa aking mapagisang katahimikan.”
At the end of the poem, John Lloyd also wrote the date, “Oktubre 1, 2018.”
John Lloyd has kept a tight lid on any information about his baby with Ellen since she reportedly gave birth last June.
But despite shying away from the public, a photo of the couple frolicking with their baby at the beach made rounds online last Sept. 28.
Both John Lloyd and Ellen have been on showbiz hiatus since October last year.
John Lloyd’s last appearance in a showbiz-related event was during the Star Magic Ball that was held on Sept. 30, 2017.
His indefinite leave of absence from his work commitments as a Star Magic artist took effect since Oct. 6, 2017.
Star Magic is the talent management of ABS-CBN. (Pep.ph)
