Meryll Soriano & Joem Bascon Gets Honest About Having More Kids
MERYLL SORIANO – Celebrity couple Meryll Soriano and Joem Bascon revealed they can’t have more children.
“It’s so hard to prioritize getting pregnant again when we were just enjoying the blessing,” said Meryll Soriano. Being parents to their three-year-old son, Baby Gido, has been both challenging and joyful for celebrity couple Joem Bascon and Meryll.
The celebrity couple had hoped to have another child, but their doctor advised against it.
During their interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” this Thursday, Joem Bascon and Meryll Soriano discussed their roles as parents. Meryll mentioned that parenting Baby Gido is still a new experience for her, even though she has already raised her eldest son, Elijah Palanca.
“We are very challenged sa toddler phase. Ako Tito Boy, I’m already a parent coming from Eli. The difference lang for me is that I have a partner. Kasi, it’s so different from being a single parent that you get to decide everything on your own, all by yourself. Ikaw lang mag-isa e,” Meryll said.

Meryll Soriano explained that she is not used to having a partner in raising a child, now that she has Joem with her. She said, “So, now it’s fifty-fifty thing. So doon ako parang, ‘Pa’no ko ba ‘to gagawin?’ I cannot say I know better because this is a different child, different personality, different everything.”
“But I’m very happy. I’m a very happy parent to be able to share also something very special with Joem because I love Joem.”
Joem, on his part, is focused on taking care of Meryll, acknowledging her sacrifices for their child.
“Parang ang mabibigay ko na lang is to take good care of her, bilhin kung ano man ang gusto niya, ilabas siya kung saan niya gustong pumunta kasi ‘yun lang ‘yung kaya kong ibigay for her kasi siya nabigay niya na ‘yung buong pagkatao niya doon sa baby namin e,” said Joem.
Boy Abunda then asked, “Would you have another baby?”
Meryll responded, “We want to pero hindi na advisable sabi ng doktor because I am 41. Sabi ng OB namin, parang if we wanted [dapat] magkasunod as in the year after parang hindi pa nagwa-one-year old si Gido dapat sundan na.
“Parang it was so difficult because it was his first time and we want to you know we want to really savor and enjoy. It’s so hard to prioritize getting pregnant again when we were just enjoying the blessing,” Meryll added.
“At saka Tito Boy takot kami nung time na ‘yun kasi it was the pandemic. Sobrang takot namin. Even with Gido no’ng time na [pinanganak] siya, takot na takot kaming lahat,” Joem said.
Joem and Meryll first made headlines for getting back together in 2020 after initially parting ways in 2009. In January 2021, Meryll gave birth to their son, Gideon, also known as Baby Gido.
