Now mom-of-two Toni Gonzaga shared a post from eight years ago, in which she claimed “one day” being a parent to a boy and a girl.
On her Instagram Stories, the TV host-actress recalled the story behind an old Instagram post, in which she uploaded a photo of siblings — a boy and a girl — during a trip to Japan with the cast and crew of the ABS-CBN sitcom “Home Sweetie Home.” In the post’s caption, Gonzaga wrote, “One day I’ll have a boy and a girl.”
The post — dated Jan. 10, 2015 — was uploaded on her other account, @tonigonzagaofficial.
“I remember this post, I deleted [it] after… I saw a boy and a girl [who were] sibling[s] in Japan.. Cute na cute ako (I found them very cute), I asked the mom if I can play and take pics with them.. She allowed [me].. [emoji] We were taping ‘Home Sweetie Home’ then in Japan… This was Jan. 10.. Jan. 20, on my birthday, Paul [Soriano] proposed. 8 years after… We now have a boy and a girl… [emoji],” wrote the 39-year-old former “Pinoy Big Brother” host.

The post she shared in her Stories is not the original version, but the one uploaded by a fan account — dedicated to the Soriano family — which noticed and brought up the “power of manifestation” in Gonzaga’s motherhood journey.
Netizens also tagged Gonzaga in the comments section of the original post to tell her that it’s still accessible in her other account. One user recently commented, “@celestinegonzaga nangyari nga (it happened) [emojis].”
Almost seven years since welcoming son Severino Elliott or Seve in September 2016, Gonzaga gave birth to her baby daughter Paulina Celestine last Aug. 11.
Earlier in the week, the actress-TV host updated her followers, via an Instagram Story, that the newborn has already been brought home. The Story shows a picture of the baby girl and her older brother in front of numerous, colorful balloons sent by Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla.
Family members such as Gonzaga’s parents have already met Paulina Celestine. Her mother, Pinty, in an Instagram post, wrote, “Enjoying our apo (grandchild),” as she posed for a photo with husband, Bonoy, and their first granddaughter.
