Iya and Drew Arellano's growing family
The Arellanos are followed by many for their fun approach to parenthood, often sharing mundane yet heartwarming moments of their family's bonding experiences. It's worth noting that Iya's most recent pregnancy was with Astro Phoenix in 2022, marking her "longest" labor yet.
"I know that some people think apat na ang anak, ‘Paano? Posible ba iyon? Hindi ba medyo riot iyon?’ But you know what, honestly, it was really hectic in the first two to three years of a child," the celebrity mom and host revealed in an interview with Smart Parenting.
But she said she managed to raise them independently, proudly shared without household help. She said, "Si Primo at si Leon ngayon, sobra na silang dali na i-handle. I don’t even include them when I think about riot dito sa bahay. Kapag nagkaka-riot, puwede ko na silang pagsabihan."
With baby number five on the way, their followers are excited to see how the Arellano household becomes more chaoticly fun.
Congratulations, Iya and Drew!
