Isabelle Daza delighted netizens as she shared details about her only daughter with Adrien Semblat for the first time.
On Instagram, the actress-model-host posted a photo of her third child named Esmeralda.
"Our precious little girl, Esmeralda," she wrote in the caption.
Isabelle gave birth to Esmeralda on March 23, 2023, via Caesarean section.
She debuted her baby girl four days later, sharing a photo taken by her friend, Raymond Gutierrez. She didn't reveal her child's name until now, which she crowdsourced among her followers.
With her daughter's adorable face revealed, her followers couldn't decide whether she looks like her sons Baltie, 5, or Valentin, 2.
Meanwhile, Isabelle's mom, former beauty queen Gloria Diaz said, "OMG SHE LOOKS SO KYUT. Gloria is sooo adorable... joke... Esmeralda Gloria is ssooo cute."
Could Esmeralda Gloria be the baby's full name?

Bianca King reveals baby's face, name, and sex
Last month, Bianca King revealed her baby's face, gender, and name.
The actress and host gave birth to her first child with her husband, Ralph Wintle, also in March this year.
Their child's name is Sadie Harlow, a baby girl.
Bianca has been sharing many stories about her breastfeeding and motherhood journey on Instagram but didn't reveal her child's gender, name, or face until last October 14.
Bianca said Sadie is "the smiliest baby" she has ever seen. She is based in Australia with her husband, and are looking forward to spending the Christmas holidays with her sister-in-law and fellow mama, Iza Calzado, and their family.
Why celebrities are soft-launching their babies online
A previous Smart Parenting article discussed why parents choose to soft-launch their pregnancies or babies online.
Some parents do it on a whim, while others have practical reasons that we totally understand. One reason is that soft-launching allows them to announce the happy news in a way that won't attract unwanted attention from strangers or cause potential harm to the baby.
Some parents also delay sharing their baby's photo because netizens tend to become overly critical. Like what happened to new parents Luis Manzano and Jessy Mendiola, whom netizens accuse of keeping their baby in secret because she is "bingot."
In 2019, Isabelle warned parents herself about the dangers of oversharing their kids' lives online. Speaking with an expert, she realizes that doing so could affect their self-esteem. Since then, she started posting less about her kids online, and focused on being a more present mom.

In an article by Harper's Bazaar, analyst and podcaster Packnett Cunningham shared that she kept her pregnancy private to give her the space to "define mothering on their own terms."
Bianca Gonzalez, mother of two, host, and podcaster herself shared that if she could turn back time and remove her children's digital footprint, she would.
Having the opportunity to be on quiet mode on social media about your and your children's whereabouts can help make you more intentional about the kind of parent you want to be, and focus your time and energy on things that truly matter.
Again, if you are a parent, celebrity or not, you are not compelled to share any details about your child on social media, especially if it would cost you your peace of mind.
Soft-launching is not just a trend, it's an option that any parent is entitled to try for themselves.
