The daughter of the late master rapper Francis M explained in her blog, (http://spellsaab.juice.ph/) the reason why she and musician husband, Jeremiah “Jim” Bacarro decided not to have a baby immediately after their wedding.

Saab wrote that she just wants to be ready and that waiting for the right time to raise a kid is not such an absurd thing.

The actress explained, “According to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average time between tying the knot and having kids in the United States is about 3 years. So maybe it’s not such an absurd thing to wait.”

“To me, having a baby is not just cutesy baby photos and sweet, sweet kisses from my little siopao-cheeked child. It’s 18 years of my life that I will have to dedicate to a human being. I mean, fine, I’ve dedicated my life to Jim when I married him but he’s a grown up! I don’t have to make sure I don’t drop him when I’m feeding him or remind him to look both ways before crossing the street.”

Saab also has a message to the Twitter user who has posted a rude remark about her in the social media site.

“I blurred her photo and username so people don’t attack her online. I guess I’m a lot more mature than I used to be. What do you know, maybe I am ready to have kids! LOLJK! But thanks for getting me riled up enough to write a blog post today. Sure wish her mommy had given her more attention.”

Lastly, Saab wants to thank everyone who are all excited for her and Jim to have a child soon, but she hopes that people will also respect their choice.

“To everybody who has asked me when I plan to have a baby, I know you’re just excited and I really appreciate your show of support.”

“It’s been over a year and that poor burger-pizza hybrid in my stomach that people mistook for a baby is now gone. I obviously wasn’t pregnant, I was just a little chubs. And right now, Jim and I are still not trying to have children. It’s a choice we both made and I respect other couples for choosing to have kids right after marriage, too.”

Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarrio fairytale wedding took place at St. Ignatius Chapel, Philippine Military Academy in Baguio last January 2015.
