Angelica Panganiban Celebrates Birthday As A First-Time Mom: 'Found Peace @36"

Angelica Panganiban took to Instagram a day after her birthday, which falls on November 4, and she kept her post short and simple.

"Found peace @ 36 [red balloon emoji]," she wrote in the caption of her post showing photos of her with her fiancé Gregg Homan and their baby girl Amila Sabine Homan, nicknamed Bean.

Baby Bean was born on September 20, 2022, or just six weeks before her Mama Angelica's natal day. "'Bean' waiting for you all my life," the new mom said about her first child's much awaited arrival (read here).
