The couple named their child Elijah. Ardy already has a son named Joshua from his previous marriage with the late Tingting Roberto.

Meanwhile, Miriam posted on Instagram some of the things she had to sacrifice for during her pregnancy. The Miss Universe 1999 first runner-up even revealed that she is intolerant to certain foods.

She wrote, “Finally! This is the moment I have long been waiting for: baby feeds on me while I feed on pizza!!!”

“For the past year, ever since I learned that I am intolerant to certain foods, I have been avoiding rice, dairy, potatoes, bread, and anything that has wheat in it.

“It could also possibly lead to other chronic health conditions in the future. In my case, any inflammation in my body may have been a reason for infertility and other effects that may trigger a reaction that could worsen my APAS condition and lead to further complications in my pregnancy.”

Finally! This is the moment I have long been waiting for: baby feeds on me while I feed on pizza!!! 🍕🍕🍕 . For the past year, ever since I learned that I am intolerant to certain foods, I have been avoiding rice, dairy, potatoes, breads and anything that has wheat in it (except pasta made of pure durum wheat semolina which I am not intolerant to). . Scientific studies have shown that when we eat foods that we are intolerant to, it causes certain inflammation and delayed onset allergic reactions in our body which could include allergic rhinitis, migraines, skin irritations and the like. It could also possibly lead to other chronic health conditions in the future. In my case, any inflammation in my body may have been a reason for infertility and other effects that may trigger a reaction that could worsen my APAS condition and lead to further complications in my pregnancy. I learned what those foods are by taking the Food Intolerance blood test from Hi Precision Diagnostics. . Now that I have given birth, I can finally got to treat myself to some much anticipated pizza! Yummm!!! . Tomorrow, I'm back to my regular programming but today, I shall indulge. Happy Sunday! . #SundayIndulgenceDay #CelebratingLife #ElijahDay1
