Celebrities and their only child
A child is indeed the most precious and greatest blessing a parent can have.
Some parents aim to have many children, while some decide to just have one because they have their own reasons.
Lucy Torres and Richard Gomez are blessed with one child, Juliana. In an Instagram post, the Ormoc City Mayor explained why she and Richard only intend to have one child and it is because their daughter asked for it.
Juliana is completely fine with just the three of them, noting that she doesn't feel lonely because her parents are also friends with her circle and vice versa.
Meanwhile, Kayla and Rich Alvarez opted to have more than one child but, due to pregnancy complications, they accepted the fact that they can't give their son a sibling which is heartbreaking for the couple. Despite this, Kayla and Rich are still grateful for their small family.
Regardless of their preferences, it is the parents' choice to decide when to have another child after the other, or how many offspring they want as they know what works best for them.
