Iwa Moto (real name: Aileen Iwamoto) welcomed her second child, Caleb Jiro, with her longtime partner Pampi Lacson last Thursday, Jan. 21.
“Lo and behold, here comes the newest addition to our growing family. Our new bundle of joy — our little boy who will be filling our hearts and lives with love and happiness from this day forward!” the doting mother announced on Instagram yesterday, Jan. 22.
“What a beautiful blessing on the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century,” the “Starstruck” finalist added.
Moto’s post came with several photos of Caleb Jiro, with one showing the child in her arms and another with a cheerful Lacson.
“My heart is overflowing with love and joy the first time I held you in my arms. Our son, baby CJ, yours, and Ate Mimi’s first day in life are the best days of mine!” she stressed.
“I could not explain the outpouring happiness that I am feeling right now. I am so blessed to have you, Ate Mimi, Kuya Muy, and Daddy Pampi and I could not ask for more!” she added.
Moto disclosed, however, that her pregnancy did not come without hardships, revealing that it was “still not time for him (Caleb Jiro) to come out just yet.”
“[But] I guess baby CJ is so excited to see and conquer the outside world. Such a warrior just like me, isn’t he?” she said.
Moto then thanked the medical team, headed by one Dr. Villanueva, responsible for baby Caleb Jiro’s birth and her families and friends for their prayers.
“[To] my mahal (love) Pampi, it is such a bliss having you by my side on this new journey of ours,” the actress emphasized. “And above all else, thank You to our Almighty God for the amazing blessing and for keeping me and baby CJ safe throughout the delivery.”
Baby Caleb Jiro is now the younger brother to Hiromi Eve, whom the couple welcomed back in 2013, and to Thirdy, Lacson’s child with former partner Jodi Sta. Maria. /ra
