Drew Arellano Undergoes Vasectomy After Welcoming 5th Child W/ Iya Villania
DREW ARELLANO – After celebrating the arrival of their fifth child, Drew Arellano decided to undergo a vasectomy, marking a new chapter in his and Iya Villania’s family journey.
TV host Drew Arellano made headlines when he revealed that he had undergone a vasectomy, months after he and his wife, actress and television host Iya Villania, welcomed their fifth child. Drew shared the news through an Instagram post on Monday, playfully captioning it “HAPPY VA-SEC-TO-MEEE” 💖 to announce the procedure.
In the post, Drew added, “Happy late and advanced Mother’s Day to my wife,” expressing his love and support for Iya. The couple, who have long been admired for their strong marriage and growing family, welcomed their fifth child, Anya Love, on February 11, 2025. Their other children are Antonio Primo, Alonzo Leon, Alana Lauren, and Astro Phoenix.
Drew had previously mentioned in June 2023 that he was considering undergoing a vasectomy as a way to manage their family planning after having multiple children. Now, almost two years later, he followed through with that decision, marking a new chapter for their family life.
A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure intended for male birth control. It involves cutting and sealing the tubes that carry sperm, effectively preventing future pregnancies. While it’s considered a safe and straightforward surgery, the decision to undergo it often reflects a firm commitment to concluding a couple’s journey of childbearing.
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded Drew’s post with supportive comments, praising his candidness and responsibility. Many admired the couple’s transparency about their family decisions, which resonated with those who appreciate open discussions about parenthood and family planning.
Drew and Iya’s relationship has been an inspiring story in the entertainment industry. Married since 2014, they have consistently shown their dedication to family values while balancing their busy careers. Their decision to cap their family at five children and Drew’s openness about his vasectomy only strengthened the public’s admiration for them.
As they embark on this new chapter, Drew and Iya continue to embody a modern and loving family, unafraid to share their real-life decisions with their fans.
