IYA Villania has started her maternity break.
On January 31, the television host shared her snapshot at the studio and wrote: “Last day before we take a maternity break.”
She also relayed that she has begun preparing for her delivery.
“I’ve also started on Primrose evening oil to help soften cervix in preparation for delivery and that makes me nervous,” she admitted.
Meanwhile, on Sunday morning, February 2, Iya shared that she had a “false alarm.”
“Stayed up from 2:30 AM to 5:30 AM monitoring contractions, only to find out that although they were consistent, they were too mild for any action,” she shared on Instagram.
“Still no pro even after four kids!” she quipped.
Iya and her husband, Drew Arellano, announced that they were pregnant with their fifth baby last September 2024.
The couple revealed last November 2024 that they are going to have another baby girl.
“The main reveal will be for the kids,” Iya said in the gender reveal video last year. “Initially I just wanted to wait until delivery but Primo (their son) wanted to know the gender.”
The TV host shared that she was hoping for another baby girl.
“The idea of having a sister for Duday would be so nice. It would be nice but you know at the end of the day, as long as we have a healthy baby that’s what really matters,” Iya highlighted.
Iya and Drew got married on January 31, 2014.
The couple celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on January 31.
Iya took to social media to pen a message for Drew as they marked their anniversary.
“I knew this was going to make me happy, I just didn’t know it was going to make me THIS HAPPY. Happy anniversary, love Grateful every single day and always praying we’ll be the examples of love that we need to be for our children. Here’s to always choosing each other,” she stated.
