Ria Atayde & Zanjoe Marudo Celebrate the Arrival of Their First Child
ZANJOE MARUDO – Celebrity couple Ria Atayde and Zanjoe Marudo have welcomed their first baby together.
Actress Ria Atayde and actor Zanjoe Marudo have become parents for the first time, welcoming their baby just six months after tying the knot. The exciting news was shared by Marudo on Facebook on September 23, where he posted a heartwarming video of a nurse gently pushing their newborn in a carriage.
The video, which confirmed their child’s birth on “09.23.24,” was also shared on the couple’s Instagram Stories. However, they have chosen to keep specific details about their baby private for now.
Zanjoe Marudo expressed his joy in a lighthearted social media post, playfully referring to himself as a father. “Eto na! Officially Zaddy ka na Z” (Here you go! You’re officially a Zaddy, Z), he wrote, reflecting his excitement at entering this new chapter of life. Atayde, equally overjoyed, reposted her husband’s announcement on her Instagram Story, joining in the celebration.
Reports from ABS-CBN News indicate that Atayde gave birth in the early hours of September 23. Despite the overwhelming joy and the well-wishes pouring in from fans and friends, the couple has chosen to maintain a degree of privacy, keeping further details about their newborn under wraps for the time being.
The couple’s love story reached another milestone in March 2024 when they officially became husband and wife in a civil ceremony held at Quezon City Hall. Surrounded by close friends and family, they exchanged vows in an intimate event. Three months later, Atayde confirmed she was pregnant.
However, she made it clear that she did not feel the need to share her pregnancy journey publicly, stating that such an announcement was not something she owed to anyone.
Now, as they embark on parenthood, Atayde and Marudo’s joy in welcoming their first child is evident, marking a significant new chapter in their lives. Fans eagerly await further updates, but for now, the couple is enjoying this precious moment privately, savoring the early days of parenthood.
