Lovely Abella gives birth to baby boy

Lovely Abella has given birth to a baby boy!

On Instagram, the new mother shared a photo of her breastfeeding her baby while she was still in her hospital gown.

She also revealed that her child is a boy named Liam Emmanuel.

"Binigla kami ng pagkakataon, di ko alam na mararanasan ko lahat ng hindi ko naranasan sa unang anak ko," Lovely wrote in the caption.

"Ang larawan na to ay nagsisimbulo na mahalin natin ang mga nanay at mga magulang natin. Walang sinumang magulang naghangad ng masama para sa Anak," she added.

According Lovely, she and her husband Benj Manalo will release a vlog on Saturday to share their struggles as they welcomed their first child.

"Itutuloy ko lang po ang pagpapa breastfeed ko sa anak ko, at hanggang ngayon hirap pa din ako mag produce ng milk, pag aaralan ko ulit hanggang sa magtagumpay ako para sa pangangailangan ng Anak ko," she said.

Kris Bernal, her fellow new mom, saluted her in the comments section for posting photo showing the rawness of motherhood.

"Let's normalize unfiltered births and postpartum," she said. "This is so authentic! One thing about you that I really admire! Congrats and enjoy every moment!"

Other celebrities who congratulated her include Carla Abellana, Iya Villania, Chynna Ortaleza, Diana Zubiri, Shaira Diaz, and Maricris Garcia.

Lovely and Benj tied the knot in 2021. They announced that they were expecting their first child in January.
