Model, host, and blogger Tricia Centenera announces the birth of her firstborn with boyfriend real estate developer Duane Santos, baby girl Arabella.

In an Instagram post, Tricia shares a selfie with her “beautiful bundle of joy!” adding, “Thank you, Jesus. She’s a cutie pie. Hello, Arabella ‘Arrow’ Centera Santos.”

The Filipino-Australian announced her pregnancy last July by sharing a photo of her baby bump. In her words, “Dear heavenly Father, I pray right now for love for my baby growing inside of me. Jesus, fill my child with Your Agape love throughout her entire life. Please, give her a heart that overflows with love for You and for others. Keep my child from loving the things of this world, such as money, immorality or even other people, more than my child loves You.

I pray that my child will be a kind, compassionate and a loving person to all she meets. And I pray that my child will show love to her enemies, as well as to her friends.

”

Moments after the announcement, she also shared polaroid images of her gender reveal captioned, “We are having a girl!”

Tricia Centenera made headlines in 2016 as she ended her marriage with singer-dancer Gab Valenciano. Prior to that, the two were married to each other thrice – in a civil ceremony in the United States in 2014, and in both Tagaytay and Boracay in 2015. A year after her 2016 split, she began dating current partner Duane. In an interview with Pep.ph, she refers to her boyfriend as someone “very secured, very matured,” also adding that, “One thing that you need to know is yes, I’m a strong Christian woman but if I decide to have a child out of wedlock that’s clearly a conscious decision that I will make with my partner. Definitely, not by any accident happening.”
