Ethan Akio



It has been 12 years since LJ Reyes and her then-boyfriend Paulo Avelino welcomed their son, Ethan Akio.

Back then, LJ and Paulo were only 22 years old but LJ admits that they and Aki have generational gaps.

She wrote on Instagram, "I think I was quite young when I had you, but still the generational gap exists! Can't deny that! Ako pa rin ang nanay, ikaw pa rin ang anak.

"There will be days when I wouldn't understand you right away and vice versa. Di ko na gets music nyo, at nacocornyhan ka sa music namin noon!

"Ang kulit ko parang naka-repeat araw araw sa responsibilities mo, pero makulit ka rin naman sa kakaulit ng game time and currencies mo! So quits lang tayo."

Now, Ethan Akio is all grown up and these pictures prove that!
