Tom Rodriguez shows son in new update
Tom Rodriguez is embracing fatherhood with Baby Korben.
The Kapuso actor took to Instagram Stories to share a heartwarming photo of himself lifting his baby boy, Korben, expressing that he was "still in a thanksgiving mood."
"Happy to be home," he wrote, adding the hashtag #grateful.
In a November 2024 interview with Nelson Canlas, Tom Rodriguez revealed that he had become a father to a four-month-old baby boy named Korben--an anagram of the word "broken."
At the time, Tom described Korben as a "great source of inspiration," and judging by his beaming smile in this recent photo, that sentiment remains unchanged. Korben continues to be his father's greatest inspiration.
“I never experienced happiness like this. He is my constant source of inspiration. I keep saying before tumatanda ako but after this I feel younger, more vibrant,” he said in a past interview during the press conference for his comeback movie Huwag Mo Kong Iwan.

Tom shared that he met his partner in the United States following his divorce from ex-wife Carla Abellana.
"Wala siya idea about me. Wala connection. She only had an idea after my fans stalked her and she had [to be] private. She is not Filipino,” he added.
He also emphasized that while he shows glimpses of his personal life, he prefers to keep his family life private. “I am thankful for the work I was given but what I learned the past few years our industry can blur the lines sa personal life. I want to have a clear boundary,” Tom elaborated.
