Albie Casiño Flies to the U.S. to Meet His Newborn Son

Actor Albie Casiño on Tuesday surprised the public by announcing he is now a father through an Instagram post.

Albie shared a clip of his arrival at San Francisco International Airport, where he was joyfully welcomed by his family. In the video, the 31-year-old actor is seen excitedly reuniting with his girlfriend of one year, Michelina, and holding his newborn, Roman Andrew.

This was the first time Albie personally saw his child, who was born in America. However, neither Albie nor his partner shared the exact date of the child's birth.

In his caption, Albie expressed, "A great man told me, 'being a dad has no days off and no retirement.' I wouldn't have it any other way."

He added, "I finally got to meet my son. Hello, Roman Andrew, the world is yours, little man."

Albie is currently making the most of his stay in the US to bond with his family, especially with Roman Andrew, as shown in the series of Instagram stories he posted.
