Rocco Nacino, Melissa Gohing Welcome Baby EZ!

Rocco Nacino and Melissa Gohing are now parents!

The couple announced on Instagram the birth of their son Ezren Raffaello or baby EZ. He was born on October 9, weighing 7.48 lbs.

New mom and athlete Melissa shared their first family photos, revealing their son's face. "I prayed for a life full of love & God blessed me with my family."

Meanwhile, new dad Rocco is grateful for the newest addition to their family. "Now life is more meaningful with you in our lives, our son. Welcome to the world EZ!" They already created an Instagram account for their child.

Two weeks ago, Rocco requested to take a paternity leave from his current TV show to care for his wife. In a report by PEP.ph, Rocco said, “Na-diagnose pa siya, diabetes, which is normal. Hypothyroidism. So, todo alaga ako ngayon. Nag-carpal tunnel syndrome. So, ako talaga yung nag-aalaga kay Mel."

He also said he will ask for parenting advice from his fellow actors, Dennis Trillo and Juancho Trivino.

 “Kabadung-kabado. Ito nga ang mga tatanungin ko si Dennis, si Juancho. Hihingi ako ng tips sa kanila kung paano mag-manage. Kasi, kahit nurse man ako, feeling ko pagdating niya, mabablangko ako, e,” Rocco said.

The couple first shared the news that they were pregnant on their YouTube channel #LifeWithTheNacinos in May. They admit that they struggled to get pregnant because Melissa suffered from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

In June, they learned about their baby's gender.

Celebrity parents Winwyn Marquez, Kitkat Favia, and Doug Kramer, among others welcomed them to the parenting world.

Rocco and Melissa got married in January last year.
