Joyce Ching is going to be a mom!
The 29-year-old actress and her husband, Kevin Alimon, announced the news on Instagram, and shared their journey of discovering their pregnancy in a vlog.
Joyce wrote, "The start of the year, God placed a desire in our hearts to really start praying and believing Him for a baby. Was it scary? Yes. We thought about it hard and decided, “G, si Lord naman bahala sa atin”. And now, we’re 4 months pregnant."

Joyce Ching shares pregnancy journey
The couple said they have been praying to conceive, but given Joyce's irregular menstrual cycle, it became difficult to confirm pregnancy based on timing alone.
In the vlog which was shot in March, Kevin prayed for a positive pregnancy test and hoped that they will be having twins.
Although they initially saw a faint line on the test, they decided to wait and try again the following day. With another positive result, they sought an obstetrician-gynaecologist (OB) for confirmation through a transvaginal ultrasound. Unfortunately, it was too early to detect anything.
Joyce emphasized the importance of having a trusted OB-GYNE doctor during their pregnancy journey. Despite uncertainties due to the early stage and lack of visible findings in the ultrasound, their doctor reassured them. “Pagpunta namin dito, nag-aalangan pa kami kung buntis kami kasi nga, too early pa tapos wala namang nakita sa ultrasound. Parang half-half pa rin kahit nag-positive na sa pregnancy test ng urine,” she said.
On March 15, Joyce had another check-up. Sadly, the ultrasound did not reveal anything other than a gestational sac. Then, on March 26, Joyce and Kevin finally got their prayers answered.
“We didn't want to assume or celebrate anything right away but after days and weeks of waiting, we were finally sure we were having a baby,” she ended the vlog, asking prayers from her followers as she navigates her journey in pregnancy and motherhood.
Joyce was first known as the young Shirley in the remake series of the Korean drama, Endless Love. She then starred in the hit teen series, Reel Love Presents: Tween Hearts, where she played as Ligaya or Aya along with GMA stars, Barbie Forteza, Bea Binene, Derrick Monasterio, and Kristoffer Martin.
Joyce and Kevin tied the knot in an outdoor garden wedding ceremony in Baguio Country Club in December 2019.
Congratulations, Joyce and Kevin!
