Kapuso host Iya Villania to her daughter, Alana: “Oh my dearest Dudz, you were the best thing that happened to this family right at the height of the pandemic in 2020.” Read Iya's full post for her daughter here.

Iya Villania dedicated a sweet and touching post for her third child, Alana, as the arrival of the former's fifth child approaches.

On Instagram, the Kapuso host shared a photo of her daughter adorably sleeping, along with a heartfelt message for her.

“As the arrival of #A5 approaches, I noticed that my heart (and hormones ) have opened my eyes to seeing Alana in a different light. There's a sadness knowing she won't be my only girl anymore and yet an undeniable joy knowing she'll have a best friend for life in her baby sister,” she wrote.

Iya then said that it feels like she's having baby number two all over again.

The “Chika Minute” host went on, “I look at her now and realize just how special she's been allowing me to feel how it is to have a little girl. I'm guilty of not being so patient with her drama and now I appreciate how much she's taught me in preparation for only more of it.”

The celebrity mom added that Alana was the best thing that happened to their family at the height of the pandemic in 2020.

“You will always be so special to me being my first little girl, but I'm excited too for you, your baby sister and I to have our special moments and trips together. I love you so much! #ExcuseThePreggyHormones,” she continued.

In November, Iya and Drew revealed that their next baby is a girl.

The celebrity couple, who tied the knot in 2014, are blessed with four kids: Primo, Leon, Alana, and Astro.
