Billy Crawford reveals he missed the birth of his second child


Billy Crawford reveals he missed the birth of his second child

Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia recently welcomed their second child, Austin, but as Billy revealed on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" he did not make it to the birth of his son. 

On Tuesday's episode, Billy shared that Coleen did not deliver Austin via water birth like his older brother, Amari. 

"Hindi na siya umabot sa pool. Hindi na umabot, actually pati ako hindi umabot. I wasn't there when Austin was born. I was on the airplane on my way back home," said the coach of "The Voice Kids Philippines." 

Billy also told Tito Boy that Amari, who's turning five this year, made sure Billy didn't forget that he was not present during Austin's birth. 

"Si Amari hindi niya ako tinantanan na araw-araw niya sinasabihan, 'You weren't there when Austin was born.' Oo kaya masakit, masakit magsalita ang anak ko," he quipped. 

According to Billy, everything happened so fast and that the first text he received from Coleen's cousin was that she was going into labor. 

"Twelve, 24 hours pa 'yan. Okay, [a] few minutes later, 'Ate gave birth.' So 'yun 'yung hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko but I just feel so happy Tito Boy, so blessed," he said. 

During his guesting, Billy also shared how excited Amari is about being an older brother. He added that there's a funny unreleased video of Amari looking for his dad while Coleen was going into labor. 

"Sabi niya dun sa video, tumingin siya sa camera, sabi niya, 'Where's Billy?' Nawala na 'yung daddy, 'Where's Billy?' So 'yun ang pinaalala ng anak ko," an amused Billy shared. 

"May diskonesyon kami ni Amari ngayon. We have to fix the relationship, I have to be more here. Maaayos ko rin 'yun Tito Boy, balik ako rito pag naayos ko na 'yun," he added. 

Billy also praised Coleen for all of her sacrifices for their family. 

"That woman has given up everything, sacrificed her entire life for our kids and for me, especially, kaya 'yung support system ko, I have to do and I have to be more for her and for them," he added. 

Billy and Coleen tied the knot in 2018. They welcomed Amari in 2020 and Austin in August 2025. .
