Gian Sotto and wife Joy Woolbright


Joy Woolbright, Gian Sotto's wife, is 16 weeks pregnant!

Gian Sotto and his wife Joy Woolbright are expecting!

The great news was shared by Joy in an Instagram post made yesterday (April 12), Easter Sunday, through a movie poster-like announcement.

It read, “16 weeks! So timely that as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, we also want to share that we are celebrating life… life of a new blessing.

“[It's] a secret we've been keeping since January. This came as a big surprise to us since we were not planning to have another one but our plan was not God's plan!”

Joy added that they wanted to share the news sometime around March however it didn't seem right due to the rising cases of coronavirus patients.

“We've been wanting to share this last month, Gian's birthday month, but unfortunately it was when the COVID situation started and we felt that it just wasn't the right time to share. We waited on God's perfect time and today felt right.”
