Thirty-seven-year-old actress Krista Ranillo and her husband Nino Lim have officially welcomed baby number five into their family, sharing the news last Wednesday, May 1.
Krista, who now lives in California, USA, shared a photo of her four children with her new son, captioned, “My body is exhausted but my heart is overflowing with love.” She elaborates, “My BFFs and I used to joke that in our group, I’d be a mom of 5. Today, I’m living that dream. Thank you, God for your goodness!”
Her newborn son is an addition to eight-year-old Nate, six-year-old Nolan, four-year-old Natalie, and two-year-old Nash. The couple is now choosing to name their youngest between Nigel or Myles.
Nino also shares a post of the newborn on his Instagram, captioned, “Fresh off the womb. Hardest labor I’ve seen my wife go through. Brings me to tears. Another April birthday.”
Krista and husband Nino tied the knot at Long Beach, California in August 2010 through a Jewish-interfaith ceremony. Prior to that, she stared in various shows like Rio Del Mar, Ang Iibigin Ay Ikaw, and May Bukas Pa. She was also featured in movies “Two Timer,” “Most Wanted.” and “Paupahan,” but eventually left show business to pursue a degree in law.
Last January, Krista announced her pregnancy with her reportedly “ideally last child” stating, “The best gifts aren’t from Santa but from our good Lord. Thank you for this blessing God! Baby boy arriving May 2019.”
A week before giving birth, Krista dedicated a long message to husband Nino to her more than 76,000 followers saying, “You are my life, my love, my strength and my weakness. I can’t imagine going through life without you. Thank you for always giving it your best for the kids and I. We love and appreciate you more than you know!! Happy birthday to my Mr. Lim.” The former actress adds jokingly, “PS. Please think of a different gift that you want for next year because you have to stop asking me for more kids!!”
