After announcing that she’s pregnant with her fifth child with husband Drew Arellano, Iya Villania declared that this would be their last one.
Villania said this during “24 Oras” on Wednesday, Sept 4, after news anchor Mel Tiangco brought up the former’s pregnancy announcement.
“Welcome back from your two-day vacation—ha? Tapos may baby na dala? Pang-lima? Ano ba ‘yon?” Tiangco quipped while talking to Villania.
“Drew? Drew, ngayon lang ako nakarinig ng ganyan ha,” the veteran broadcaster added, addressing Arellano.
Villania burst into laughter as Tiangco and news anchor Pia Arcangel continuously teased her.
“‘Wag niyo na akong pagalitan, tita,” Villania told Tiangco.
“Hay nako, pero last na talaga! Last na talaga!”” Villania stressed, to which Tiangco and Arcangel responded, “Delete, delete, delete,” and “Never say never.”
Villania announced her pregnancy by showing a video of their family lip-synching and dancing to Lou Bega’s hit song “Mambo No. 5.” A sonogram of their fifth child, in which its hand was seen widely open, was also included in the clip.
Villania and Arellano had been together for 10 years before they tied the knot in 2014. The couple welcomed their firstborn Primo in 2016, their second son Leon in 2018, their daughter Alana in 2020, and their fourth child Astro in 2022.
