Andi Eigenmann penned a heartwarming birthday greeting for her firstborn daughter, Ellie, as the child turns 9 years old today, Nov. 23.
“Today we celebrate 9 years of life for my firstborn ELLIE! 9 years of bringing so much life into mine as well. I wouldn’t trade having you for anything in this world my dearest Elle belle,” the doting mother stated on Instagram. “I will forever be grateful that the universe gave me YOU.”
Eigenmann’s post aptly came with several photos of Ellie throughout the years.
“You only become more and more special to me as the years go by, and that’s [exactly] what inspires me to do my best as your mom, because that’s what you deserve!” she said. “Thank you so much for being YOU. Just watching you grow into such an admirable lady brings me sooo much joy and fills my heart with pride.”
The actress highlighted that she is in awe of what her daughter has become, sharing that Ellie is “an amazing, funny kid with a big big heart.”
For these, Eigenmann stressed that “it has been such a privilege” to be Ellie’s mother.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE. You are soooo loved and cared for. Always, always,” she said.
Ellie is the only child of Eigenmann with former boyfriend Jake Ejercito. She is also the older sister of Lilo, Eigenmann’s child with her partner, professional surfer Philmar Alipayo.
Eigenmann, along with Lilo, flew to Manila from Siargao back in June to reunite with Ellie as she celebrated her 30th birthday. She is currently pregnant with her second child with Alipayo. JB
