Gelli de Belen and Ariel Rivera are proud parents to their son Julio as he graduated from York University in Canada.
De Belen and Rivera attended the commencement ceremony where they cheered for Julio, as seen in a compilation video on the actress’ Instagram page today, June 21.
“Congratulations Julio!!! We are so proud of you,” she said.
De Belen showed her son’s graduation photo as well as a video of him taking a bow on stage while his name was being called over the microphone. At the latter part of the video, the couple together with their sons snuggled up to their bed where they took their family photo.
“We documented his [graduation] with lots of photos of him, videos of him, a few photos of us while waiting, but we forgot to take a family photo. So we just took one at home in our pajamas when we finally remembered,” she added.
De Belen and Rivera’s fellow celebrities Aiko Melendez and Arlene Muhlach sent their congratulatory messages to Julio for his milestone.
