Life certainly begins at 40 for former ''Encantadia" actress.
On Friday (August 13), actress Iza Calzado shared the good news about her 40th birthday!
The former Sang'gre of GMA's 'Encantadia' happily announced on her special day that she is pregnant with her first baby!
On Instagram, Iza posted a photo of herself under the sun while flaunting her baby bump!
According to Iza, her pregnancy was unexpected!
“They say life begins at 40.
"So I had all these big plans for my 40th year on Earth as it also coincides with my 20th year in the industry. I already completed a few of the exciting projects lined up for me and there were a few dream projects in the pipeline. I was ready to usher in this new chapter in my life.
Then you came along. Unexpectedly. You may not have been in my immediate plans but I instinctively knew that this was THE plan.” she wrote.
The soon-to-be mom also mentioned that she's now ready to enter the new chapter of her life as a mother.
“In my forty years, I have come to discern when God is steering me to a different direction. A path I may not have thought of yet it always turns out to be the best for me. So now, I surrender to His will with no resistance.
God's plans are always far greater than mine and I humbly accept this new chapter of my life with a heart filled with gratitude, casting all my fears and worries aside and simply trusting in the divine timing and wisdom of life. Something deep inside me knows that you will propel me to greater heights to soar higher than ever before in ways I cannot even begin to imagine. You will give me THE WHY, THE PURPOSE, THE DIRECTION in life, and I embrace you in my life as we build, along with Ben -- your dad, a FAMILY!
"As a character of mine said in a film, “In love, there is no fear.” So I will choose to live each day giving life to you vibrating from this frequency -- LOVE.
"They were right. Life does begin at 40. Simply put, your life begins as your mother turns forty. To know that life is growing inside me is great miracle. You are my miracle. You are my guiding light.
"Thank You, Lord, for the most beautiful birthday gift. Our ABUNDANCE.” she wrote in her caption.
Iza tied the knot with her husband Ben Wintle last December 19, 2018.
