Despite lack of public admission from Ellen Adarna or her beau John Lloyd Cruz regarding her condition, photos speak a thousand words. Just recently, another round of news came out on social media announcing that Ellen has already given birth.
Let's take a look back at the previous pieces of evidence collated from social media and showbiz reports that suggest that former 'Bubble Gang' babe Ellen finally gave birth.
Before making the switch to the Kapamilya network, Ellen Adarna got her big break in showbiz by joining 'Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Doubles showdown.' She was also part of the longest-running gag show 'Bubble Gang' from 2010-2013.
John Lloyd Cruz rose to prominence via the hit 1990s teen drama, 'Tabing Ilog.' He later gained superstar status by doing a string of top-rating TV programs and blockbuster movies. His teamup with Bea Alonzo in 'One More Chance' (2007) and 'A Very Special Love' with Sarah Geronimo in 2008 turned out to be huge hits.
Before meeting Ellen Adarna, John Lloyd had a three-year relationship with actress and comedienne Angelica Panganiban. The two called it quits in January 2016.
As early as October 2016, rumors of a blossoming romance between John Lloyd Cruz and sexy star Ellen Adarna started circulating online. But these rumors almost died when Ellen admitted that she had a short-lived romance with President Rodrigo Duterte's son, Baste Duterte.
Rumors that Ellen and John Lloyd were already an item persisted throughout 2017, especially since the two were spotted travelling together. They went on a vacation in Ilocos Norte in March 2017. Some six months later, in September 2017, the two were seen enjoying the sunset view in Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila. A few days later, their photo in Bantayan Island, Cebu--where the two were seen cozying up to each other on the beach--made showbiz headlines once again.
The Kapamilya actor came close to confirming his rumored romance with Ellen when he posted this message on Instagram: "Sobrang baduy neto pero this girl really did something good to my soul. i'll always be grateful." The IG photo of John Lloyd and Ellen lying on bed was posted on September 24.
The two went on a grand vacation in October last year. Some of the the countries they visited were Morocco, France, and Switzerland.
An entertainment report released in November 2017 dropped a bombshell when it reported that Ellen Adarna is carrying the child of John Lloyd Cruz. The former 'Bubble Gang' babe also skipped the 'Bench Under the Stars' fashion show that month, a move that further fueled the speculations. Meanwhile, Ellen's manager, Pia Campos chose not to release a statement about the issue, but assured everyone that Ellen Adarna was doing well and happy.
In December 2017, former 'StarTalk' host Lolit Solis claimed via an Instagram post that Ellen was already engaged to JLC. According to her sources, John Lloyd gave Ellen a diamond ring worth at least PhP3 million.
In January 2018, Lolit Solis made headlines again when she claimed that the rumored wedding of John Lloyd and Ellen would happen either on the last week of January or early February. She also said that it would be a beach wedding. JLC and Ellen, as they did in the past, remained tight-lipped about the issue.
The pregnancy rumors sparked once more when Ellen posted via her Instagram Stories a video that supposedly showed what netizens called as her "baby bump."
Social media went abuzz once again after fan accounts shared photos of the sexy star, together with John Lloyd, at the airport.
According to fans, this photo was taken at the Kansai International airport.
