With all the attention and expectations, being a celebrity is not an easy task—being a father on top of that.
But despite the challenging aspects of fatherhood, it is also the same thing that brings joy and fulfillment at the end of the day.
For all their hard work and sacrifices, appreciating and celebrating our fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures is best done every third Sunday of June. But this year, Father’s Day will be extra special for these celebrities who will be celebrating their first time becoming a parent.
Take a look at the list of Filipino celebrities who are first-time dads in 2024:
Benedict Cua
Content creator Benedict Cua surprised the netizens with his announcement on social media that he is now a dad to his 2-month-old son, Aleck.
“I just wanna say, I’ve had the best two months of my life… I waited for so many years and finally, he’s here. I want to immortalize every moment I have with him,” he said in a YouTube vlog.
From baby feeding to sunbathing and providing for his son in the coming years, Cua shared that he is determined to become a hands-on dad to Bao-Bao (short for Xiao Long Bao), Aleck’s nickname.
Sharing his journey as a first-time dad, Cua said he also preserved his son’s dried umbilical cord and nail clippings.
