Filipino television personality, host, and beauty pageant titleholder Samantha Bernardo is now officially a mother after welcoming a baby boy.
Samantha's newborn, Seb, whose full name is Sebastian Bernardo Moore, was born on June 1, 2026, through a home water birth.
On her Instagram account, the Filipina beauty queen shared her “raw” and “real” home water birth experience as a first-time mother and called it “magical.”
According to Sam, she was advised that her due date would be May 31, 2026, which falls exactly on her husband, Scott Moore's, birthday.
“We spent the day simply. We walked [Darna the Doodle], cooked and ate steak and eggs, and even practiced parking in my car. Nothing extraordinary… yet,” Samantha shared online. “That evening, I kept feeling like I needed to go to the bathroom. Again and again. By then, I looked at Scott and said, 'I think it's TIME!'”
Within a few hours, Samantha prepared and called her “dream birth team,” who arrived at around 11:30 p.m. on May 31.
“There came a point where I stopped trying to control anything. All I could do was surrender, trust my body, and repeat in my mind: 'LET GO AND LET GOD,'” Samantha reflected on her Instagram account. “In the quiet of our home, surrounded by love, support, and peace, our son made his way into the world. Just before 2 AM, as we welcomed a brand new month, we finally met Seb.”
The beauty queen said she could only describe her experience as “magical.”
“That is the only word that truly describes my experience as a first-time mom,” she said. “A birth that felt sacred. A birth that felt peaceful. A birth that felt deeply empowering. This experience showed me what the female body is capable of when it is supported, respected, and trusted.”
Towards the end of her Instagram post, Samantha expressed her gratitude to her husband, family, friends, midwife, OB-GYN, and assistant who showed support throughout her journey.
Then, at the end, Samantha wrote, “Born under a pearl moon, in warm water, at home, surrounded by love. Welcome to the world, Sebastian Bernardo Moore.”
