MANILA, Philippines — Actress Karel Marquez and husband Sean Fariñas are having a baby boy!
Marquez happily shared the news on Wednesday via an Instagram post captioned: “It’s a healthy, ‘100% BABY BOY!!!’”
“All along kala ko baby GIRL, but no no no! It’s my husband’s answered prayers and mine too because this baby boy is growing well inside mama’s womb!” Marquez wrote.
In a separate post, Marquez disclosed that she and Fariñas had already chosen a name for their son.
