Judai to slow down

Judai and Ryan announced the good news on the noontime variety show "Eat Bulaga," where Agoncillo is a co-host, weeks after speculation about Santos's pregnancy surfaced.

Agoncillo, surrounded by his co-hosts, held up an ultrasound image of their baby, while Santos joined them via phone patch.

In the interview, Santos said that what is important to her is that she and her hubby will finally have their own child.

"Masyado naman yatang selfish kung mamimili pa kami ng kasarian, so maski ano, basta healthy siya," Santos said.

"Basta ang importante ay magiging ate na si Yohan," Agoncillo said, referring to their adopted daughter Johanna Lois .

Santos admitted that because of her pregnancy, she will really have to take it slow when it comes to work.

"Extra careful lang sa work, medyo magbabawas lang ng konti sa trabaho, pero tatapusin ko lahat ng nasimulan bago mag-bakasyon ng dire-diretso para maging safe ang baby at maging safe din ako," Santos said.

First granddaughter

Meanwhile, in an interview with ABS-CBN News, Carol Santos, mother of Judai, expressed her happiness now that she will soon have her first granddaughter from her youngest child.

Mommy Carol who is now in Nasugbu, Batangas said that Judai's pregnancy is an answered prayer.

Judai and Agoncillo tied the knot April 28, 2009 at San Juan Nepomuceno Church in San Juan, Batangas.

Agoncillo and Judai were first paired in the teleserye "Krystala" where their romance blossomed. They have starred in two movies together, "Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo" and "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo", both box office hits.

Agoncillo proposed marriage to Judai on her 30th birthday in May 2008.

The couple recently starred in ABS-CBN's weekly show "George & Cecil."

Judai currently stars in Kapamilya's hit television series "Habang May Buhay," while Agoncillo is hosting a talent search show for TV5.
