Kapuso actress, 36-year-old Chynna Ortaleza-Cipriano has just announced that she is expecting her second baby with husband, musician Kean Cipriano.

In an Instagram post shared last Sunday, April 21, Kean shared a photo to his 502,000 followers with Chynna and their eldest daughter three-year-old Stellar, captioned, “Happy Easter from me, Chynna, Stellar, and our newest band members! Sending good vibes to all!” Chynna posted the same photo for her 521,000 followers asking for “name suggestions” and uses the hashtag #TheCips.

Numerous fellow celebrities congratulated the parents, including LJ Reyes, Camille Prats, Joyce Pring, Thea Tolentino, and Yasmien Kurdi.

The Callalily frontman and Victor Magtanggol star tied the knot in a civil ceremony in December 2015 before getting married in a church in 2017. The couple’s daughter, Stellar, whose name was inspired by one of the songs of their favorite band Incubus, was born in 2016 and recently celebrated her third birthday last April 20. In numerous photos shared by Chynna of Stellar’s birthday, she captioned, “Three. May your wish and prayers come true, our beautiful being. I always commit you to Papa Jesus. He has done wonders in you, Stellar. Always love.”

In an interview with Asian Parent a few months after she became a mother to her firstborn, Chynna shares with the publication, “There are really some moments in my personal life that I want to cherish with my loved ones. I’ve always been this kind of human being. I am lucky that my husband and I share the same beliefs,” referring to keeping the life of their child private.

She adds, “I am asking the Lord to help me become the parent that He wants me to be. I understand that I am very lucky to be chosen to take care and guide His daughter. I do hope that I will be the best mom to my daughter. I want to be her best friend – this I know for sure!”
