Jon Lucas introduces newborn son Calvin

Jon Lucas is now a dad of three!

On Instagram, the Kapuso star shared a photo of himself carrying his newborn son Calvin Arthur who was born on Friday, April 17.

“I’ve been wanting to share this with you guys, pero sabi ko next time na lang siguro kapag nandito na siya. Kaya hindi ko na rin papatagalin—hey guys, I’d like you to meet my son, Calvin,” Jon wrote. 

According to Jon, Calvin’s birthday is especially to them as he was born the same day as his late dad Arturo. 

“Pinanganak siya ngayong April 17 at exactly 10 in the morning. Share ko na rin sainyo na ka-birthday siya ng aking namayapang Daddy Arturo. Kaya sobrang special talaga sa amin ang araw na ito. Parang buhay na buhay lalo ang alaala ng daddy namin,” he said.

The “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre” star thanked the doctor and staff of the Dr. Jesus C. Delgado Memorial Hospital in Quezon City for taking care of Calvin and his wife. 

He also expressed his gratitude to God for all the blessings He has been showering on their family.

“Kahit mukhang nakakaluwag-luwag dahil sa sigla kong mag-post ng mga show, sa totoo lang, hindi laging may sobra. Ang tanging totoo sa buhay ko ay hindi kami kailanman pinabayaan ng Ama,” he shared.

Jon continued that his mantra in life has always been “God will provide,” highlighting that it helped him through the years that passed by.

"Kapag kailangan na kailangan ko na, doon ibinubuhos ng Ama ang biyaya. Ang galing nga rin talaga kasi kaya pala si Daron ay nakasama pa natin nang matagal, dahil papunta pala sa mga araw na ito, meron pa siyang mas mahalagang misyon sa mundo ng mga tao," he said. 

"Kaya pala kinailangan niyang magtrabaho, dahil may higit pa sa ginto na naghihintay sa kanya," he added. 

Calvin is Jon’s third child with wife Shy Feras. It can be remembered that Jon’s character in the Kapuso series “Black Rider” was named Calvin — a role that earned him praise for his convincing performance. 

Jon currently stars in “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre” as the Minea-ve guard Daron.

The series airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8:05 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube.
