As they get closer to welcoming their first child, celebrity couple Rere Madrid and Kai Sotto held a party to announce that they are expecting a baby boy.

Rere and Sotto made the announcement during a bear-themed gathering that also served as the latter’s birthday party. The event was attended by their respective families and fellow celebrities including Bianca Umali — the girlfriend of Rere’s brother Ruru Madrid — Gabby Eigenmann and Bianca Manalo.

The highlight of the party featured Sotto shooting a basketball, which set off an explosion of blue powder, indicating that their first child is a boy.

Just recently, during the Cinemalaya press conference, Ruru spoke about his support for his younger sister and Sotto, although he admitted he was surprised the first time he knew about Rere’s pregnancy.

The actor revealed that Rere first told the news of her pregnancy to Umali, who then relayed it to him.

“Kasi natatakot si Rere na i-open sa akin. Sabi ko wala naman siyang dapat ikatakot kasi with Kai, sobrang buting tao niya at mahal niya ‘yung pamilya niya. So alam ko na kung gaano niya kamahal ‘yung pamilya niya, gano’n din ‘yung pag-aalagang ibibigay niya sa kapatid ko,” Ruru said.

Ruru also credited Umali for making him realize the importance of trusting his siblings and letting them decide for themselves as adults.

“From that moment, tinanggap ko na matatanda na itong mga kapatid ko, hahayaan ko na sila. Ngayon, super close na kaming magkakapatid,” he said.

Ruru then looked forward to meeting his first nephew.

“First time kong makita yung kapatid ko na gano’n kasaya,” he remarked, referring to Rere. “Sabi ko nga, baka ‘yan talaga ‘yung calling niya…. ‘yung maging isang ina.”
