Iya Villania on fourth pregnancy: 'It gets harder with age'

By Beatrice Pinlac

Kapuso power couple Iya Villania and Drew Arellano revealed that they are expecting their fourth child through a YouTube video released today, January 3.

The 35-year-old Mars Pa More host shared how challenging it was to keep the pregnancy news from both Drew and her mom since her morning sickness was getting more difficult to handle.

“It's been a little hard this time around. Medyo nag-struggle na ako to keep it as a secret because morning sickness this time has not been good. So, that's been the hardest part,” she said.

She added, “The things that I used to like, hindi ko na [sila] masyadong type. Like I love curry but right now, it's just not my thing. Even the juices that I would look forward to drinking in the morning and at night, hindi ko [na] rin type.”

Iya also concluded reasons why she may be experiencing these difficulties in her fourth pregnancy, saying, “It gets harder with age and I guess, with each kid.”

After 10 years together, Iya and Drew tied the knot in a 2014 cliffside wedding at Nasugbu, Batangas. They welcomed their eldest child, Primo, in August 2016 and their second son, Leon, in August 2018. Their third child, Alana, was born in July 2020.
