The wife of Kapuso actor-dancer Rodjun Cruz poured her heart out to commemorate the birthday of her mom yesterday, January 7.

Dianne began by saying, “MOMMY!!! I am looking up today and I trust you are looking down because today is your birthday Mommy! I still hear your voice and see your face.”

She went on to say that she terribly missed her.

“The best mom in the human race. You loved me through all the highs and lows!

“Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, miss you, love you, and I just wanna thank God that I was blessed to be your daughter. Happy Birthday Mom. I love youuuu forever and ever!!! #mommyforeverandever"

Family Life
Just like her mom, Dianne has a family of her own.

She tied the knot with long-time boyfriend Rodjun Cruz in a star-studded wedding in December 2019 at the Manila Cathedral.

The couple was blessed to have a son a few months after. Dianne, while we are still in a pandemic, gave birth to Rodolfo Joaquin Diego Ilustre III on September 10, 2020.

And on the day of their first wedding anniversary last December 21, Baby Joaquin was baptized.

His godparents include Bea Binene and Marco Alcaraz.

In a separate Instagram post, Dianne looked back on some of the greatest highlights in her life in 2020.

She posted, “Before 2020 ends, i'd just like to glorify, praise, worship and honor you my Lord Jesus Christ! Thank you for everything -- for the gift of life, family and friends. Thank you for the overflowing blessings 2020 has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us -- Taal Incident, Covid 19 and most of us lost our jobs and businesses. Despite all the challenges

“I've received the greatest gift and blessing-- my answered prayer-- My Baby Joaquin. Thank you Almighty Father Lord claming for a Bigger, Brighter and Bolder 2021! Yehey!
