PROUD parents Gelli de Belen and Ariel Rivera attended the graduation ceremony of their son Julio, who recently finished his master’s degree in kinesiology at the University of Toronto.
The celebrity mom documented her son’s milestone through a video on her Instagram page on Tuesday, June 17.
Julio, in his graduation gown, was seen waving on the stage while Gelli and Rivera were in the audience seat. The celebrity couple’s older son, Joaquin, was also present to celebrate his brother’s achievement.
“My Julio’s graduation. Master of Professional Kinesiology,” Gelli said in the caption. “So proud of this young man. Start of another chapter.”
According to the University of Toronto’s website, the Master of Professional Kinesiology is a full-time, 16-month graduate program that offers “research-informed and multidisciplinary expertise in movement assessment and intervention in diverse practice areas.”
In the comments section, Julio was showered with praises and congratulatory greetings by his aunt Janice de Belen, cousin Kaila Estrada and other celebrities including John Arcilla, Ogie Alcasid, Pops Fernandez, and Aiko Melendez.
Julio, along with Joaquin, left for Canada in 2018 to pursue his studies. Julio graduated from college in 2022 from York University. (Anne Pasajol © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
