Viy Cortez, CongTV’s baby boy is here: ‘Welcome to the world, Kidlat!’
CongTV and Viy Cortez’s baby boy Kidlat is here!
New mom Viy shared the happy moment on Instagram with a photo of Cong carrying their son.
“Kayong dalawa ang mundo ko. [S]alamat Lord. [S]alamat sa biyaya," Viy wrote in the caption.
Reports that the vlogger and businesswoman has given birth made the rounds online when ViyLine Media Group—part of Viy's group of companies—posted photos.
One post shared a photo of the baby boy’s hand. Its caption read, “First look at Cong TV and Viy Cortez's newborn son, [baby] Zeus Emmanuel ‘Kidlat’ Cortez Velasquez.”
Fans noted that Kidlat’s second name could possibly be an homage to Emman, the late vlogger and rapper who was close friends with the couple. His full name was also revealed through his official Instagram account, @zeusemmanuelvelasquez.
Another post by the media group showed Viy in a hospital bed. The caption said, “Success! Welcome to the world Kidlat! Congratulations kay Daddy Cong TV and Mommy Viy Cortez! Pawer [sa inyong] dalawa!”
Before giving birth, Viy posted a photo of her and Cong in the hospital. “See you anak @zeusemmanuelvelasquez,” she wrote on Instagram. “Oras nalang ang hihintayin masisilayan ka na namin, babaguhin mo na ang buhay namin ng daddy mo. [I love you.]”
“Kidlat” has become one of the trending topics on Twitter Philippines.
In 2020, Viy and Cong lost their baby during a miscarriage. The long-time couple announced that they were expecting in December 2021. Last February, they had a gender reveal done through a helicopter. – RC, GMA News
