GIULIA- Just like how you pronounce Julia (sorry, no letter J in the Italian alphabet.😅) as a tribute to her paternal great-grandfather, Don Julio. FIORENTINA- as a tribute to her paternal great-grandmother, Doña Florentina aka lola Puring (lola’s name is the Spanish version). ALESSANDRA- as a tribute to my sister and our lola Alejandra aka Inang. Plus, I like its meaning, defender/protector. So there you have it! I hope she knows how much we wanted her. 💖 #MiracleBaby

Fiore is Assunta’s first child with Ledesma. Assunta revealed she was finally expecting a baby last May.

She also refers to her newborn as her “miracle baby” since she and Ledesma have been hoping for a child for 18 years. The couple got married back in 2004. JB
