Jennylyn Mercado gives birth; shows tour of baby's room
MANILA, Philippines — Actors Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo gave a glimpse of their first child together in a vlog, as the actress gave birth last April 25.
On May 1, the couple released a video on YouTube of what was supposed to be a nursery room tour. Then at the latter part of the video, Mercado was seen lying on the hospital bed while Trillo was sitting by her side, with the date “4/25/22” flashed onscreen.
In the vlog, it can be seen that the old staff room was transformed into a cute nursery room with walls painted with pink flamingos. There's a sanitizing station before entering the room, then the furniture pieces come in baby pink colors, too, with some with mustard and brown accents. The room also features huge white, spacious closets.
Jennylyn also showed that they provided a space for baby books, "Merong corner dito na pwede lagyan ng mga shelves. So diyan ko na lang (mga books) sinabit."
The singer-actress then shared that they were surprised by the turn of events when their room tour turned into a pre-delivery vlog: “Checkup lang dapat kami ngayon e, bigla na lang kaming manganganak na daw. Hindi kami ready.”
Trillo was seen wearing a scrub suit and a head cap in a video, sharing that he's nervous to go to the birthing room.
The video ended with a black-and-white photo of Jennylyn being surrounded by her doctors while giving birth, with Dennis by her side.
Mercado and Trillo shared initially that they were trying to have a baby through surrogacy, and confirmed they were expecting in October last year. The two later got married in an intimate civil wedding. — Video from Jennylyn Mercado's YouTube channel
