Take a look at the precious moments of 'Bubble Gang' star Paolo Contis with the son of his girlfriend LJ Reyes in this gallery.
LJ Reyes is one of the most talented graduates of the Kapuso network's groundbreaking artista-based reality search on TV. In July 2010, she gave birth to a wonderful baby boy Ethan Akio or Aki with her then boyfriend Paulo Avelino.
But the love story of LJ and Paulo Avelino ended in 2013. The Kapuso actress has since moved on from her failed relationship and is now happy with her boyfriend-comedian Paolo Contis. Last June 2018, the Kapuso showbiz couple marked an important milestone, celebrating their 3rd anniversary together.
Paolo built a close relationship with LJ's son Aki. He is now sort of a father figure to Aki bonding with him every time he has a chance.
The showbiz couple makes sure that Aki tags along with them whenever they travel abroad.
In Paolo's Instgram post in August 2017, he shared a snapshot of his video call with Aki, wherein he showed the sweet letter he made for him and his Mommy LJ. Paolo posted, “Ilang araw nakong pagod at walang tulog dahil sa trabaho, (thank God!) pero bigla akong nagising at nabuhayan sa tawag niyo mahal @lj_reyes Ang Nakasulat: I love two of you very muuuucchh. I love you mommy and tito pao! (with matching illustration) Ngayon, sobrang gising naman ako! Hindi ako makatulog! i miss you both!!”
