Welcoming a baby, whether it’s your first or sixth, is just as impressive. On Saturday, September 12, 2020, Joy W. Sotto and husband Quezon City Vice Mayor Gian Sotto welcomed their sixth child.
“We welcomed another baby boy to our family,” Joy wrote on Instagram. The photo showed a cute little baby boy lying on a blue blanket. He was wearing diapers and a bonnet.
The mom of six shared that giving birth this time around was a “totally different experience” since Gian couldn’t be by her side. “I had so much fear and anxiety, I couldn’t stop crying,” Joy revealed.

“Grabe, pang anim na beses ko na maging tatay pero feeling ko first time pa rin,” he wrote on his birth announcement post for his fifth son. He likened it to kissing his wife like it’s their first kiss every time.
