Well-known Filipina stylist Liz Uy introduced her baby boy Xavi on March 16. Her revelation, however, was met with unexpected negative feedbacks.
In an exclusive interview with Preview magazine, she confirmed that she is indeed now a mother after giving birth in secret.
“I don’t really think only of myself anymore. Every time I do anything, I think of Xavi first,” she said in the interview explaining on how motherhood changed her.
After the news erupted, the celebrity stylist, who was formerly linked to John Lloyd Cruz, also shared a photo of her cradling her baby on Instagram, and simply wrote her baby’s name as the caption.
Her “It Girl” friends expressed their love and support by commenting on the said post. Anne Curtis said, “I miss you, Xavi!” while Georgina Wilson commented, “I love this so much.”
Moreover, Uy did not mention the birthday of her son, but local showbiz news claim that she gave birth in the United States before 2017 ended, which was why she wasn’t present during Curtis’ wedding in New Zealand.
Netizens, however, can’t help but ask the first-time mother who the father of her baby is.
Although Uy has not formally confirmed the rumors, many netizens and online websites are claiming that Raymond Racaza, a married man, is Xavi’s father.
According to his Bloomberg profile, Racaza is the president, chief operating officer, and co-founder of Xurpas Inc., a company that creates celebrity-oriented mobile game apps. He also happens to be married to a certain Dr. Geraldine Zamora Racaza.
Due to the speculations, many netizens were not pleased with the news and tagged Uy as a “homewrecker”.
Finding Liz Uy’s baby cute is okay.
Liking her for her amazing career is okay.But praising her for coming out as a single mother as a result of an affair, and wanting to be like her is not okay.
Srsly those tweets make me want to throw up.

until you get to be a child from a broken family, you wont get it why people are hating Liz Uy. Try despising high school family days, being sad on sundays when families go to church together or going to your cmate’s house and seeing how happy their family is.

Everyone’s admiring Liz Uy’s ‘bravery’ without even realizing the amount of heartache she caused another woman.

RESPETO KAY GING. RESPETO SA TUNAY NA PAMILYA NI RAYMOND.
Stop calling Liz Uy an IT MOM BECAUSE SHE IS NOT. NEVER EVER COMPARE HER TO HER ‘IT GIRL’ FRIENDS COZ ALL OF EM ARE DECENT.

Tsk, tsk, Liz Uy.
No filter or fashionable clothes could ever spare you from the insecurities and moral judgment after you’ve succumbed to temptation.
Girls and boys, not with someone married please.— B (@fastidiouss) March 16, 2018
Liz Uy is the Kylie Jenner of the PH daw. She can’t be that coz Kylie didn’t had a child from a married man with a daughter.

I dont understand how people are saying na “Girl Power” or whatever it is about kay Liz Uy. She’s a homewrecker it is not something to be happy about. On the other hand, I feel sorry for the child.

Adding fuel to the fire are the cryptic post of Geraldine on Instagram, which many suspect were meant for Uy.
