Big Reveal: JC de Vera’s daughter and girlfriend
As he welcomes his daughter with fatherly pride to the world, JC de Vera also chooses this time to reveal to the public a piece of his private life.
As the world sets their eyes on his baby, vision rays also point to his long-time girlfriend who was also part of the virtual big reveal.
“My strength. My happiness. My inspiration. My motivation. My love. My life,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Monday, July 2, uploading a series of photos tagging his daughter Lana Athena and his girlfriend Rikkha Alyssa Cruz.
While the Kapamilya star earlier confirmed to Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) last May the good news of being a father, this was the first time for JC to bare the identities of the two of the most important figures in his life that make up his family.
At 32, the actor is still picky when it comes to sharing information about his life off cam, and did not confirm any marriage plans to Rikkha yet.
In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN, JC said that Lana was baptized last week.
Aside from all the congratulatory messages that his newly-unveiled family received, netizens have been pointing out the evident resemblance of Lana to the actor.
Cruzadobheng commented, “Kamukhang-kamukha mo si baby mo (You really look a lot like your baby). God bless!”
“Carbon copy,” flordeliza.carolino wrote.
Lana Athena, at two months, is already forming a fan club from the supportive Instagram users who have commented on how cute she is.
Another user, elvirabarrion commented, “Sweet smile! Pampawala mo ‘yan ng pagod (That will drain all your fatigue), JC.”
Meanwhile, Instagram user domregaya wrote, “Aysus ka-cute naman niyang baby na ‘yan (That baby is so cute)!”
“Ang cute ng baby, super (The baby is super cute),” khlorose14 wrote, filling the comment box with hearts.
Currently, JC is playing in the shoes of John “Ginno” Corpuz in the nightly series “Since I Found You” starring Piolo Pascual and Arci Muñoz.
