Pauleen Luna’s second child with husband Vic Sotto is just bursting with cuteness!
The actress and television host delighted her fans as she finally did a face reveal of her newborn, Thia Marceline Sotto or Mochi, through a series of pictures on Instagram.
In one of the photos, Mochi could be seen sleeping soundly in the arms of Pauleen as she is smiling at the camera. Another picture showed Pauleen and Vic’s first daughter Tali playfully touching her baby sister’s chubby cheek.
The actress revealed her newborn’s birth date in the caption, writing, “Thia Marceline Sotto aka Mochi. January 23, 2024. 8.2 lbs. Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes!”
Vic Sotto also introduced Mochi during the Jan. 25 episode of Eat Bulaga.
“Maraming nagtatanong kasi sino kamukha, kaya kayo na humusga,” he told his co-hosts.
Many fans and followers took the time to flood the comments section with their heartiest congratulations, as well as praises for how cute Mochi looks.
“OMG, grabe para siyang hindi newborn! Ang laki laki niya, para siyang five months na! Ang lusog talaga pera usog! Ang lago ng buhok! Ang pisngi susmi ka cute! Amen at nakaraos nang matiwasay silang mag-ina!” one user wrote.
Another one commented, “She has so much hair! What a cutie! Congratulations to the whole family and to the new ate!”
The face reveal comes days after Pauleen posted her “last pregnant selfie” on Instagram and got sentimental over her pregnancy journey, highlighting how she feels extremely blessed to be able to carry another child despite suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome.
She also gave a shoutout to her eldest Tali, assuring her that she will “always be mommy’s first.”
“I know this is something new and things might be a little different but know that you will always be mommy’s first. It was just you and me for 6 years and you have taught me so much. Maybe you would think that often times you needed your mom but it was really me who needed you most of the time. Thank you for giving me purpose and meaning. Thank you for making me a very happy mommy,” she wrote.
Pauleen then thanked her husband for all that he is. “I am so grateful for you. I look at you now as I type these words and my heart is just filled with love and gratitude. Mahal na mahal kita. Habang buhay.”
Pauleen confirmed her second pregnancy in July last year. A month later, they announced at a gender reveal party that they are having another baby girl.
She tied the knot with Vic in January 2016. They welcomed Tali a year later.
