OUR congratulations in advance to actress and host Toni Gonzaga and her husband, director Paul Soriano for their upcoming baby boy!
The baby’s gender was revealed in an interview with TV talk show host Boy Abunda last Tuesday, June 30.
“It’s a boy! It’s going to be a mini-Paul,” the soon-to-be father excitedly shared. He also added that personally, the gender of their first-born didn’t really matter, but it was his wife who wished for a boy.
As most expecting couples, they still have not decided on a name.
“Hindi ko pa masabi ‘yong final kasi it still changes every day,” explained Toni.
For now, the blooming mother-to-be is still working. As Paul has mentioned in another interview, he’s sure Toni will be working until she gives birth.
“The doctor says she’s completely healthy. She can work as long as she gets proper rest and of course the working conditions are safe. I think she will work until the day she gives birth ganun si Toni eh.”

Despite all the rumors going around about getting an offer from a rival network, singer and actress Jennylyn Mercado has affirmed her loyalty as a Kapamilya.
Just last Monday, July 4, almost a month and a half of negotiations, Jennylyn signed a new, “long-term contract” with GMA Network. She did explain why it took a little while before it got finalized.
“Marami lang kailangan ayusin kasi marami na rin po kaming ginagawa. And I’m sure busy rin po sila [GMA executives], hindi po nag-meet yung schedules,” she said in an interview with PEP.ph.
The 29-year-old star also denied that she was offered a better contract by ABS-CBN.
At the signing of her new contract, her home network also surprised her with a new title — as ‘The Ultimate Star.’ When asked how she felt about it, she said that it was a humbling experience.
“Of course, I’m humbled and grateful. Sa totoo lang po, medyo hindi po ako kumportable na tinatawag ng mga title,” she said and then added, “Pero salamat po, maraming salamat po na binigyan niyo ako ng ganung title. “
