Comedienne/TV host Melai Cantiveros has confirmed that she is pregnant with her second child with husband Jason Francisco via her daily morning talk show “Magandang Buhay.”

Cantiveros showed off a photo in a ribboned frame as she announced that she was welcoming another baby, who was 10 weeks old.

“Mga Kapamilya, meron na tayong makakasama tuwing umaga, at lagi natin siyang makakasama kasi nga isa siyang nemo throwing her usual funny antics (referring to her baby). May bago kaming blessing mag-asawa ni Jason at magiging ate na si Mela. Siya ang ating sinasabing bagong Kapamilya dito sa Magandang Buhay. Ten weeks akong pregnant. Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings,” she said.

She revealed that the first person who knew about Baby No. 2 was her firstborn, Mela. Jason was equally ecstatic when she delivered the good news.

“Sobrang saya ko talaga nung nalaman ko na buntis ako, syempre alam ko agad, ‘di ako dinugo, eh. Pagkapregnancy test ko talagang unang nakaalam si Mela, sabi ko Mela magiging ate ka na, sobrang kini-kiss niya ang tiyan ko. Baby Ate Mela (mimicking how her daughter talks to baby inside) tapos sinabi ko agad kay Jason. Talagang sobrang saya niya na madadagdagan ang aming family,” she said.

Not too long ago, Melai and Jason hugged the entertainment news after they “separated” over what Jason said were issues of trust. Jason was quoted in late July as saying, “Wala na pong Melason” in a social media post.

Now, the two have apparently patched things up and are proving their strengthened union in the arrival of their second baby.  Clarizel Abanilla
