Isabelle Daza and her husband Adrien Semblat's panganay Baltie has turned 5 years old.
The actress/digital creator/entrepreneur took to Instagram to greet the eldest in their brood of three, the rest being second son Valentin (almost 2) and a baby girl born just last March 23, 2023 (read here). The family is currently based in Hong Kong.
"My beautiful boy turned 5," Isabelle captioned her March 31 post showing reels of Baltie.
Among those who sent their greetings to the birthday boy is Isabelle and Adrien's friend Nico Bolzico. "Happy Birthday Baltie!" wrote the husband of Isabelle's bestie Solenn Heussaff and dad of two girls: 3-year-old Thylane and newborn Maëlys.
Nico then happily declared to Baltie, referring to his and Solenn's panganay: "Tili friendzoned u na, so we are good."
Back in 2019, when the little girl was still her mama's belly, Nico had already laid down his rules for Tili's future suitors (read here). He added more rules after Tili was just a few months old (read here).
A few days before Baltie's birthday, his Mama Isabelle turned up at his school to read the book she's written, which is about her longtime nanny, Yaya Luning.
