Ellie Eigenmann continues to be the affectionate sister that she is to baby Lilo and her new baby brother Koa.

Ellie was only seven years old when she became an ate with the birth of Lilo, the daughter of her mom, Andi Eigenmann, with Siargao-based pro surfer Philmar Alipayo.

And on January 17, 2021, Ellie welcomed her new brother, Koa.

She displayed an endearing enthusiasm toward Lilo even when the latter was still in her mom's tummy. She continues to express this through the tender moments they get to spend together now.

Ellie loves carrying baby Lilo and looks forward to creating fun memories with her and Koa.

Take a look at their beautiful snaps here and learn why Ellie is the sister we all want to have.
