“Lord of Scents” Joel Cruz took to Instagram to reveal the news that his eighth child was born on November 6 in Russia.
Cruz uploaded a photo of his newly born son with the caption, “My 8th child [was] born 2 hours ago in St. Petersburg, Russia. Thank you Lord for another very healthy baby boy! See you soon, anak. Love you, daddy Joel!”
Cruz currently has three sets of twins. The eldest ones are Prince Sean and Princess Synne who were born in September 2012. The aforementioned birthday celebrators came after Prince Harry and Prince Harvey three years later in October 2015, and the third pair, Charles and Charlotte, were born in May 2017. His seventh child, Zeid, was born just five months ago.
In the comments section of the post, one netizen asked if his eighth child has a different mother since it is less than 9 months since Zeid was born.
“Now, I have 6 sons and 2 daughters! They are all siblings because of same mother and same father. Their mother, Lilia, carried the first set of twin—Prince Sean and Princess Synne in 2012. However, the 2nd set and 3rd set of twins were carried by surrogate mothers. Likewise, my 7th child and 8th child were carried by surrogate mothers. But all egg cells came from Lilia,” Cruz answered.
In a previous interview with PEP.ph, Cruz said that eight children are enough for him but he is open to the idea of adding more.
“If our good Lord allows me to have 1 or 2 more daughters, I would be very, very happy!” he said.
