Prior to Calzado’s social media break, she looked stunning in a maternity shoot that was taken by celebrity photographer BJ Pascual. The photos showed the mom-to-be paying homage to her “Encantadia” character Sang’gre Amihan and donning an all-white outfit.
Calzado, who tied the knot with Wintle in December 2018, confirmed that she’s expecting a baby on her 40th birthday. The actress then announced that she’s pregnant with a baby girl in November 2022 through an open letter to her late mother. EDV
