The next day, the mom of three confirmed her pregnancy with her husband, who joked that he's a "good shooter." Andy also admitted his eyes still show the lack of sleep since they welcomed their first child together, Aliyah, in 2016.
The couple also shared scenes are about the couple telling their family and friends that they're having a girl. They had to do it via video call and Zoom. of course. Ate Aliyah is happy to have a baby sister, but Kuya King, Diana's son with his late husband, wasn't so happy.
Diana and Andy had a baby shower online and their guests sent gifts to their home. Aliyah was so excited, and she was also kind enough to walk us through her baby sister's gifts. "When the baby comes out, I'll share my toys. I'll give them to her," the little girl said.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Andy wasn't able to be with Diana when she gave birth. "With Aliyah and King, we decided na it was best that I stay with the kids for the two weeks, and Diana stays with our baby," he said.
