Iya Villania


The 'Biyahe ni Drew' host complimented his wife in a message posted on Instagram.

Drew Arellano pens a short but sweet message to mark his wife's 35th birthday.

In an Instagram post, the Biyahe ni Drew and AHA! host calls Iya Villania, who is celebrating her birthday today, the family's “Swiss army knife” and “do-it-all human.”

The term Swiss army knife when used to refer to a person means someone who is always ready for any situation.

“We love you so much!” Drew added.

Drew's caption came with pictures showing Iya as a doting mom to their kids.

The two Kapuso stars got married on January 31, 2014 in Batangas. They were together for ten years as boyfriend-girlfriend before tying the knot.

Their marriage is blessed with three children, namely, Antonio Primo, Alonzo Leon, and Alana Lauren.

Drew and Iya shared how they're keeping their marriage strong while raising three kids in a podcast interview with Kryz Uy and Slater Young last April.

“So I think that we built a pretty strong foundation because you know it wasn't an easy 10 [years of dating], but because we made it through that and we reached the point where we were so sure we wanted to grow old with each other, parang anything after that [would be easy],” said Iya.

“We're all adults. Of course we are lovers and then you share so many things lalo na kapag wala pa kayong anak and then you do stuff together then you become parents and then there will be a point in time where the mother will have 100% focus on the kids,” Drew added.

“I know naman it was more about being lovers and whatnot. Parang yung mindset when we get old. We're gonna be frail whatever. I'm gonna love you as a companion, as a travel buddy, magke-kwentuhan lang tayo somewhere, you know watching the sunset or whatever, sipping tea or whatever.”
