Jennylyn Mercado opens up on frozen embryo, possibility of another child

Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo have a frozen embryo ready if they ever decide to expand their family.

In Nelson Canlas’ report in "24 Oras" on Wednesday, the Ultimate Star was recently asked in an event whether she feels the pressure to have another baby before she turns 40 years old next year.

"Mayroon pa ko talagang isang boy na buo na, nasa Texas. So kung maisipan ko man siya na lang," she said.

"Pero sa ngayon kasi ine-enjoy pa namin si Dylan, gusto pa namin siya tutukan maganda na naka-focus kami sa kanya. Kasi 'yung mga kuya niya mga binata na," she added.

Dylan, her daughter with Dennis, recently turned four years old. She and Dennis also have sons from previous relationships: Jazz and Calix.

Dennis and Jennylyn's frozen embryo came from their initial surrogacy plan back in 2021, but the actress unexpectedly fell pregnant with Dylan through natural means.

According to the actress, the embryo is still OK and can be implanted if they decide to have a second child together.

"Puwede pa po 'yun. Naka-freeze lang 'yung embryo," she said in a previous interview. "Anytime na gusto naming magka-baby ulit puwedeng ako na. Puwedeng surrogate uli. Depende kung kakayanin ko pa."

Jennylyn and Dennis got married in 2021. They recently starred in the GMA Prime series "Sanggang-Dikit FR." —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA News
