On her Instagram, Karel shared a photo of Kobe Federico Santos Fariñas, born on Wednesday June 19.
"Kobe Federico Santos Fariñas... born 1:47pm today, June 19, 2019. We had our successful breastfeeding sesh just now too at 4:29pm and he is fast asleep na. I am so happy. Sharing my happiness with you all. Love you," she captioned.
An emergency C-section had to be performed on her at St. Luke's, the celebrity shared. She and her husband Sean Farinas earlier said that Baby Kobe was coming a week earlier than expected.
She said she was scheduled to undergo a cesarean delivery on June 24, but her ultrasound shows she's ready to welcome her third child.
"I’ve been praying hard for this!" she also said.
The couple announced that they were expecting their baby no. 3 in June 2017 but Karel suffered a miscarriage five to six weeks into the pregnancy.
In an Instagram post, Sean expressed relief, "thanking God that both Karel and Kobe are doing well."
The couple started dating back in 2012 and tied the knot in December 2016.
Karel had her first two children, Keiley and Kyler, with ex-boyfriend Arman de Guzman. — Jessica Bartolome/LA, GMA News
