Bettinna Carlos's daughter Gummy is now a teenager: 'Talaga ba 13 ka na?'

Bettinna Carlos is both happy and sentimental that her eldest daughter Gummy is now a teenager.

The actress posted a collage on Instagram of Gummy's photos through the years, with her most recent picture in the center.

"Happiest birthday to our teen! (Talaga ba 13 ka na?!?)" Bettinna said.

Bettinna said this is the first time she and Gummy are not celebrating together.

"This is your first birthday away from me but knowing you're making wonderful memories there with Daddy makes me happy still!" she said. "Thank you Lord for giving her the birthday gift her heart has been desiring for! Enjoy your best birthday by far, anak!"

"I love you we love you and miss you and can't wait to reunite with you again! Love you Bubb!"

Bettinna's husband and Gummy's stepfather Mikki Eduardo also dedicated an Instagram post for Gummy on her special day, sharing a photo of them together.

"Love you so much! So proud to be your dad," he said.

Bettina and Mikki got married in 2020. Mikki memorably proposed to be Gummy's father and legally adopted her in 2022.

Following a miscarriage, the couple was blessed with a daughter named Amina Elizabeth, born in 2022.

The family is based in La Union.
