An elated Jolo Revilla announced that he and his wife, Binibining Pilipinas 2016 first runner-up Angelica Alita, are expecting their first child together.
The actor-politician announced Alita’s pregnancy on her birthday, showing a photo of them holding a sonogram of their baby on Revilla’s Instagram page on Wednesday, Aug. 2.
“In God’s perfect time, today we announce our greatest Blessing for Angel’s birthday, we are having a baby!” Revilla said. “Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nagdasal para sa amin, sobrang excited at masayang masaya po kami!”
(Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for us. We are very excited and happy!)
Revilla, who currently serves as the representative of the first district of Cavite in the Lower House, also expressed his excitement for the gender reveal as he addressed his wife, “Madami pa itong kasunod.” (There are many more to come after this.)
Alita, in turn, also looked forward to welcoming their child.
“I love you, so excited na! Di pa lumalabas kasunod na agad iniisip mo (You’re already thinking of the next one when our baby is still in my womb),” she said in the comments section.

Revilla made public his relationship with Alita in February 2019 through a Valentine’s Day message he penned for her. In December of the same year, the pair tied the knot in California.
Meanwhile, Revilla has a son named Gab with his former partner Grace Adriano. /ra
