Drew Arellano, Iya Villania celebrate first birthday of daughter Anya

Drew Arellano and Iya Villania took to social media to celebrate the first birthday of their youngest child, Anya.

On Instagram, Drew shared a photo of the little girl in her matching pink dress and headband.

"Happy first birthday to everyone's ragdoll. We love you so much! Sorry for your siblings' daily gigil — we just can't get enough of you!" he wrote in the caption.

In the comments section, Iya joked about being "out of babies."

"My womb feels empty. Out of babies already," she wrote.

"But our hearts are overflowing… with chaos and love naman din," Drew commented back.

On her Instagram Stories, Iya shared glimpses of their family celebration at home. Their older children made cakes for their baby sister.

She also posted a video of Anya walking and said, "Huhu… How did that one year go by so fast?!"

Iya then shared a throwback clip from the hospital when she gave birth to Anya, captioned, "This day last year."

Marking another milestone, Iya revealed that she had already had her "last pump."

"And yesterday was officially my last pump. Bittersweet! Why is it that it was my least fave part of my mothering journey and yet now it's almost like I don't want to stop?" she said.

Drew and Iya have been married since 2014. Aside from Anya, they have four older children: Primo, Leon, Alana, and Astro.

In April last year, Drew went viral on social media after he revealed that he underwent a vasectomy, a minor surgical procedure that is a form of male birth control that stops sperm from leaving the body.

Drew's decision to get a vasectomy, which he opened up about in 2023, was lauded by the Commission on Population and Development.
