Another netizen going by @shabbell1983 replied to the former’s query, saying that Noah might be Barretto’s newly adopted baby.
The two netizens continued their conversation, with @shabbell1983 pointing out that Barretto said in a previous Instagram post that she wished to adopt again.
The post the two were referring to was Barretto’s photo last January, which showed her visiting the CRIBS Foundation—a receiving home for abandoned and neglected children—in Antipolo, Rizal.
Barretto then joined the conversation, answering @barneymarley2’s question with, “yes, sweetheart.”
Claudine is known to have three other children, namely Sabina, Santino and Quia. The actress adopted Sabina and Quia, while Santino is her biological child with ex-husband Raymart Santiago. /ra
