Paolo Ballesteros had a memorable birthday celebration on “E.A.T.” as he was gifted with a surprise appearance of his daughter, Keira Claire, who shares the same birthday as her dad.
Paolo, 41, received well-wishes from his fellow hosts including Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, as seen in an episode of the noontime show on Wednesday, Nov. 29.
Paolo was then surprised after his 15-year-old daughter Keira came out from the backstage with a two-tier birthday cake for him. Keira gave Paolo a kiss and a tight hug before she went on to greet the other TV hosts.
“Salamat, mga Dabarkads! Thank you, TVJ!” said Paolo, who also received video greetings from his loved ones and from the AI versions of several Hollywood stars.
Keira was also gifted with a cake, and the father and daughter whispered their wishes before blowing out their birthday candles.
Keira is Paolo’s child with his former girlfriend Katrina Nevada. The celebrity offspring was born in 2008.
