The cat is out of the bag!

Winwyn Marquez announced her pregnancy during the press conference for her Metro Manila Film Festival movie Nelia and it was quite obvious by the way she was glowing.

Prior to the presscon, the Reina Hispanoamericana 2017 also released the big news on his YouTube channel, and this time, it had the reaction of those who care about her - especially her mom Alma Moreno and dad Joey Marquez.

Watch their reaction here:

Meanwhile, Winwyn also wrote quite an introduction for the video.

"I know there have been rumors circulating for some time about this... I chose to keep quiet and not answer questions regarding this matter. I just wanted to enjoy it with my family and loved ones without other people dipping their toes into our business but there was still part of me that wants to share this wonderful news with my subscribers and supporters but I was undecided on when and how.

"I also took a leave from work because I was advised to rest for a period of time and I am very fortunate that my GMA family has been very supportive of my decision and that my health and my baby's well-being are a priority. After a few weeks, one big piece of news came and to my surprise, my first title role movie "NELIA" was chosen to be a part of the Metro Manila Film Festival this year. I was ecstatic but at the same time scared and nervous because I was unsure how my situation will sit with it but again, my producer's priority was our well being and they helped me navigate through schedules and made sure that we will be okay.

"I am taking it day by day... Yes, there are still episodes of bad nausea, dizziness, and that I get tired easily but I always try to listen to my body (as my doctors have been telling me) - to avoid stress and make sure that I am in a safe environment and not push anything out of my limit.

"We have been blessed with something we have prayed for and I am lucky to be surrounded by people who understand and are willing to help me through this journey. My partner told me that I was right to think that sharing this news with the people who have supported me since the beginning and that I should just wait for the right time to tell everyone and - today is that day.

"I may not share much information about my pregnancy yet as I still want to keep some things private for us and I hope you understand. I want you all to know that I am super happy for this blessing at this special time in my life, I am still getting used to the changes in my body but I am excited that in a few months we will meet our little baby. Please pray for our little family and pray that everything will be safe."
