Iya Villania admits that before she had four kids, she wanted to settle at having just two.

Iya Villania got real with the challenges of motherhood.

In a recent social media post, the 24 Oras host shared a throwback photo from when her first child Primo was born.

"2016. Back when we just had Primo and realized that mothering is hard I was so exhausted," Iya captioned her post.

She revealed, "I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids but after having Primo I was settling with the idea of just having 2 here.

Iya clarified that her hesitation was momentary, and her goal of having a big family still overpowered the difficulties of pregnancy and childbirth.

"I'm so glad it was just a phase," Iya said.
