Phoemela Baranda pregnant


At 40, Phoemela Baranda is pregnant with her first baby with her partner, professional race car driver Jason Choachuy.

Forty-year-old TV host-actress Phoemela Baranda is pregnant.

This is what she revealed in a recent exclusive interview with Isha Valles, published on Preview.ph.

Phoemela is already in her second trimester and will be giving birth in March 2021. She also revealed that she and her partner, professional race car driver Jason Choachu, planned their pregnancy.

She was quoted as saying, “I've always wanted another child, and my partner [wanted one] as well--it's his first.”

Phoemela gave birth to her first child, daughter Kim Nichole Baranda, when she was just 19 years old. Nichole rose to fame when she joined a reality competition in 2014. Kim is now 21.

Since it has been 21 years since she gave birth, Phoemela admitted that she has some worries about her pregnancy.

She said, "To be honest, I have some anxieties. It has been years since my last pregnancy, but I'm more excited to enter this new chapter."

"This time the only difference is that I'm more mentally prepared but [I feel the] same amount of excitement and love, especially that my partner and Kim are beside me for support."

Phoemela and Jason reconnected when they both raced for the Formula V1 Endurance in November 2019.

Congratulations, Phoemela and Jason!
