Kapuso couple Mark Herras and Nicole Donesa just welcomed their first child together! Nicole shared clips on her Instagram Story showing Mark with their newborn baby whom they fondly nicknamed Baby Corky.

"Guess what?" Nicole teased in a photo in her stories showing Mark gazing at Baby Corky while cradling him.


Another clip shows Mark with presumably one of their relatives who was carrying Baby Corky while wearing a mask. "Thank you Lord," Nicole wrote in her caption.


Recently, Mark expressed his support for his fiancee, Nicole, in preparation of childbirth. He also shared his excitement in meeting their baby. Right before giving birth, Mark wrote on Instagram, "Itchy I love you!! Alam ko nahihirapan --kapagod, puyat--pero malakas ka naman, my itchy at mamaya lang kasama na natin si Corky!! Love you!!!! Konting tiis na lang my love," he said in his post.

The two also documented in a vlog, some of their preparations for Baby Corky. As a requirement for Nicole's hospital admission, Mark and Nicole also took the RT-PCR or Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction test at home for COVID-19. Their results came out negative.

Nicole also revealed she was all ready to give birth, after seeing her obstetrician-gynecologist, getting vaccinated, and taking her urine and blood tests.

Mark and Nicole first became acquaintances through the GMA Afternoon drama Bihag. They confirmed their relationship in August 2019 and got engaged in June 2020. They revealed they're expecting their first child in September 2020, and shared their gender reveal for Baby Corky in December 2020.
