    Behind the Scenes: Our November Shoot with Gladys Reyes and Kids

    See how chaotically fun this month's shoot was!

  • Gladys Reyes November 2013

    She’s not your primera contravida for nothing – with that smirk and her piercing stares, Gladys Reyes sure can play the part well on TV. Off-cam, though, she’s as soft as butter when it comes to her children, ever patient and affectionate.

    Our camera caught some very precious behind-the-scenes photos during the cover shoot with Gladys, Christophe, Aquisha and Grant. View the slideshow to take a peek!

      Eldest son Christophe obviously has a talent for drawing. He was sketching figures the entire time, like this one of a dinosaur.

      Only daughter Aquisha is no doubt her mom's mini-me.

      It's no wonder Grant is all smiles; his yayas are waving frantically for him to look at the camera. Also in photo are photographer Rene Mejia, Smart Parenting art director Jenny Suarez and editor in chief Mia Cruz.

      As most little girls her age, Aquisha was curious to try the makeup and lip color. Barbie gladly obliged.

      Whenever he finds the chance, he would plant a kiss on Gladys's cheek. Hmm, where is Grant, by the way?
      Photo 33 of 40
      Oh, here he is, smitten by the toy truck!

      A-ha! Christophe looks like he's about to suprise mom Gladys from behind!
      Photo 42 of 40
      He's such a playful boy. Here he plays hide-and-seek with Grant, who's hiding inside a ThinkTents teepee.
