TikTok star Whamos Cruz and his girlfriend Antonette Gail Del Rosario surprised their followers last week with an announcement: they are expecting their first child.
On June 27, 2022, Whamos shared a photo of him kissing Antonette's belly.
His wish for his unborn baby: "WAG MO SANA AKO MAKA MUKA BABY PARA DIKA MAKARANAS NG PANG LALAIT NG IBANG TAO."

The post, which has received almost half a million reactions as of writing, garnered supportive messages for the expecting TikTok couple.
Several netizens defended the 25-year-old content creator, reassuring him that it's a kind heart that matters most.
Others cited that most people, especially in the Philippines, are just too judgmental and disrespectful with regard to one's looks.
For her part, Antonette has been receiving congratulatory messages as well. The 18-year-old Instagram star posted an Instagram Story to show desserts sent by a bakeshop to celebrate the couple's new milestone.
The treats included a chocolate dripcake embellished with Ferrero Rocher and a 24k edible gold leaf, and two boxes of cupcakes.
Earlier this year, the soon-to-be mother celebrated turning 18 with a series of Instagram posts, starting with a short tribute for Whamos and their relationship.
Antonette shared, "celebrated my 18th birthday with the man I met when I was 17.
"and finally with all the problems we went through NOW IM OFFICIALLY LEGAL."
The couple trended in September 2021, when they were featured on Raffy Tulfo in Action where Antonette's mother pleaded Whamos to bring back her daughter, who was a minor at the time.
After four episodes of the conflict, the issue was resolved privately by all parties involved.
Whamos and Antonette are looking forward to celebrating their first anniversary on July 7, 2022.
