After sharing the news that they have an adorable baby daughter, Felize, on October 31, 2021, new parents Elisse Joson and McCoy De Leon revealed that they aren't in a rush to get married anytime soon.
In an interview, McCoy admitted that the topic of marriage has came up, but they decided to prioritize their daughter first. "Lagi naming pinag-uusapan ni Elisse yan. Pero lagi naming binabanggit sa sarili namin na dapat maging praktikal lang kami. Siyempre, 'di rin biro ang manganak lalo na ngayon pandemya, kailangang mag-ipon," he noted.
"Siguro soon. Wala namang problema dun. Darating din naman tayo d'un. Kailangan lang siguro talaga naming paghandaan yoon."
He also said that it's better to ask these questions to Elisse. "Hindi naman ako ang sasagot, ako naman ang magtatanong kasi ako yung magpo-propose," he quipped.
For now, McCoy is focusing his attention on working hard to be able to provide for Elisse and Felize. "Matinding responsibility yan on my part kaya kailangan kong mas maging masipag," he said.
When asked how his life has been after the birth of their baby girl, the 26-year-old actor only had good things to say. "[Ang] masasabi ko lang, masayang-masaya ako sa buhay ko ngayon. Ibang turning point ito. Kumbaga, nagkaroon lalo ng direksiyon," he shared.
"Di ko ma-explain yung words, pero ang sarap pala magkaroon ng anak lalo na ng pamilya. Mas lalo kong gustong mag-pursige sa buhay."
"May sarili na akong pamilya na bubuhayin ngayon. Dodoblehin ko kung paano ako magtrabaho ngayon. Siyempre, habang nagtatrabaho, mas inspired, mas happy ako sa gagawin ko," he concluded.
