Actress Janella Salvador became a mom for the first time on October 20, 2020.
Revealing her pregnancy months later, on January 5, 2021, the 22-year-old has since received messages from the public about Baby Jude Trevor Paterson, her son with beau Markus Paterson.
On her Instagram Story, the actress shared her message of thanks to her followers and said that her heart “is full” of love.
“I wanna thank everyone for welcoming our Jude with utmost sincerity and warmth. My heart is full from reading your sweet messages,” she said.
“Please know that you are greatly appreciated even if I don't get to reply to each and every one of you.
“Much love from Markus and I.”
Along with the message is a cute close-up photo of Baby Jude looking as adorable as ever.
In another post, Janella reminded her fans about the details of her YouTube account since more and more people have been reposting her content online.
“Just a gentle reminder that this is our only YouTube account,” she said, along with a screenshot of their username “M&J&J.”
“It would be great if you could help us report those who reposted the entire video [of our announcement] on their own accounts without [our] permission. Thank you.”
It was only on Tuesday when Janella and Markus confirmed their son's birth after months of speculation from the public last year.
She addressed the speculations in the video through a heartwarming letter to her son.
Janella said, “Hey, Jude. As I compose this, I'm staring at your perfect little face with all the love I didn't know I had in me. I'm feeling so many emotions, but I am most excited that we're finally ready to introduce you to the world.
“Well, if I'm going to be honest, I'm quite nervous about this day because I know how harsh the world can be.
“If your dad and I could have you to ourselves forever, in our own quiet little world, we would, but that would be selfish. You are too precious not to be shared. The world deserves to see the precious smiles you give us -- the ones that melt our hearts.
“The world deserves to see you grow in your own unique self, and I can't believe that you are mine.”
Together with Janella's mother, Jenine Desiderio, the couple is currently in Markus's hometown in the United Kingdom taking care of Baby Jude.
