Host Andi Manzano and businessman husband GP Reyes overcome a “tough, challenging and long delivery” at the Makati Medical Center as they welcome their second baby girl Corazon Amelia on Saturday, January 19.

Andi announced her delight through her Instagram with a photo of her baby, captioned, “God heard our prayers and this little girl a miracle baby. So much emotions but totally worth it. I love this tiny human so much.

She’s here.”

GP also shares a photo, this time, carrying Amelia, captioned, “It wasn’t the easiest. Or the quickest. My incredible, amazing wife pushed hard for hours. She is my hero. And finally after a pretty tough, grueling, exhausting time in labor from inducing at 3pm to dilating to delivery, at about 1:09am, our new princess was born. World, meet Corazon Amelia Manzano Reyes,” prior to that sharing a photo of Andi, which said, “Still going.

Not that I need to be reminded but, it’s in these very moments right here where we are right now where I truly am blown away but just how amazing, beautiful, strong, mentally and physically tough, and infinitely selfless my wife is. (And this goes for all you other moms) we are in the midst of something that’s nothing short of a miracle. A little more push my love and we get to meet our newest princess. Storming the heavens with prayers for the home stretch.”

Andi and GP tied the knot on November 12, 2013 at St. Joseph’s church in Baguio City. In 2015, Andi gave birth to their first daughter Olivia, who has since become a social media superstar. They announced their pregnancy with their second child in July.

Older sister Olivia was able to meet her baby sister at the hospital, Andi sharing a photo of the two captioned, “This melts my heart. We always talked about her carrying her baby sister when she’s born and now she finally is,” then posting a video of the older sister Olivia singing to her new sibling. On Olivia’s Instagram, the toddler is seen touching the newborn with a smile on her face, captioned, “I’m not officially an ate. Hi Amelia. I love you.”
