At 31, Jessy Mendiola fulfills childhood dream of learning ballet
Jessy Mendiola is making her childhood dreams come true, one of which is learning ballet.
On Instagram, the celebrity mom posted a mirror selfie of her clad in black leotards and ballerina shoes, and shared to her followers that she has decided to go after an old dream of hers.
"When I was younger, we couldn’t afford ballet classes. I remember watching other kids in their ballet outfits during a class at a dance studio in a mall in Makati. I kept telling myself, 'One day, magagawa rin kita,'" Jessy wrote in her caption.
She added that she reminds herself that she is never too late or too old to start something she has always wanted to do as a kid.
“Here’s to trying new things no matter how old (or late) you are, the most important thing is that you are happy and you are still willing to learn after all these years,” she said. “As a ballerina momma tayo ngayon, I can’t wait to dance with my little Rosie.”
Encouraging comments from fans and fellow celebrities, such as Andi Eigenmann and father-in-law Edu Manzano, peppered Jessy’s post.
“Nice one Jess! You look good as one,” Andi wrote.
“Go for it Jessy!” Edu said.
Jessy married Luis Manzano in an intimate civil ceremony in February 2021. Their second wedding was held in Palawan in February this year, where family members like Vilma Santos, Edu Manzano, and former Senator Ralph Recto were present.
Jessy announced the birth of Isabella Rose, fondly called Rosie and Peanut, in January 2023. Jessy and Rosie had a joint birthday celebration last December.
