Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo’s daughter Yohan is now officially an adult, as she celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday, Nov. 7.
Santos, who welcomed Yohan when she was 26, looked back at memories from Yohan’s childhood while greeting her daughter on her Instagram page yesterday.
“[Eighteen] years… just like that, time does really fly fast my love. 24 years ago I started praying for a baby when I turn 26. In the same year that I turned 26, God gave me you… and how lucky I am to have you,” she told Yohan.
Santos then vowed that she and her husband, TV host Ryan Agoncillo, would always be there for Yohan.
“You taught me a lot and up until now, mommy’s still learning. We grew up together… literally, and we are both blessed to have dad to guide and experience life and love with all our imperfections,” she said.
“This we promise you, life is tough my love. Friends come and go but family is permanent. Wherever you wanna go, whatever you want to be, we will be here for you… always and forever,” Santos added. “Happy 18th our big buding. We love you, with all of our hearts.”
For his part, Agoncillo showed a black-and-white photo of Yohan on his Instagram page, also yesterday.
Celebrities who also sent birthday greetings to Yohan included Gladys Reyes, Jolina Magdangal, Gina Alajar and Beth Tamayo.
Santos and Agoncillo tied the knot in a secret wedding in April 2009, then renewed their vows in April 2016. They have two other children, Lucho and Luna, who are younger than Yohan. /ra
