JC Intal, Bianca Gonzalez welcome baby number two
Actress/Host Bianca Gonzalez announces to the public the arrival of her second daughter with basketball player JC Intal. The baby girl named Carmen Eliana Gonzalez Intal was born on Monday, October 29.
In an Instagram post, Bianca shares a photo of the newborn’s hand and hospital bracelet, captioned, “The little one decided to come out today.” Her husband JC, who currently plays for the Phoenix Fuel Masters, shares the same photo sharing, “Say hello to our Carmen Eliana. Ate Lucia can’t wait to see you, my love!”
JC also tweets, “Thank you, Lord!” to accompany the post. Carmen is born four days after her older sister Lucia Martine’s third birthday. A few hours after the announcement, Bianca posts an Instagram story of a selfie in her hospital gown captioned, “Back to the life of waking up every 2 hours to feed.”
Numerous celebrities congratulate the couple, including Marian Rivera, Lino Cayetano, Judy Ann Santos, Maja Salvador, Doug Kramer, Marjorie Barretto, Liz Uy, and Isabel Oli.
Prior to giving birth, Bianca revealed in an interview that perceiving herself as a “career woman” demotivated her from trying for her second child for a while. In an interview, she shares in Filipino, “I really have trouble raising a child, to care for one. To have to take care of a child everyday, I feel like it’s not natural to me, unlike other women who have it as second nature. For me, it’s really not,” but she adds that she receives a lot of help from her friends’ advice. She concludes, “All of them said the second child is easier than the first. You’re not as paranoid as the first because you know not to worry about every little thing. You worry, of course, but the second is really different from the first.”
Bianca and JC married in December 2014, ten months prior to delivering Lucia Martine. Bianca initially announced her second pregnancy through social media on May 30, 2019, then revealed to her fans the gender of her baby during her 35th week of carrying baby Carmen.
