Iya Villania and Drew Arellano finally met the latest addition to their fam. The couple announced the birth of their fifth child on February 11, 2025, at The Medical City in Ortigas.

We’re a few days away before Valentine’s Day, but Iya is already celebrating by welcoming her and Drew’s fifth baby. Drew posted a portrait of their youngest daughter with the caption, “Anya Love Villania-Arellano. February 11, 2025. 10:52am.” What a cute name! Of course, congratulations are definitely in order for the celebrity couple, who’s been well-loved for their v cool and interesting parenting to their adorable kids: Antonio Primo, Alonzo Leon, Alana Lauren, Astro Phoenix, and now their latest, Anya Love.

Iya briefly shared how she gave birth in less than an hour—yup, less than an hour! In an Instagram Story, Iya posted a photo right after her pregnancy labor rejoicing with the caption, “She’s here!!! And wow, what a delivery! Got to the hospital at 10am. 10:52 am baby out!” Speed!

Actually, if you haven’t been seeing Iya’s Instagram updates, they’ve been waiting for Baby Anya to come for a little over a week already. It’s come to a point that they joke that they’ve already lost patience, LOL. In one of her IG Stories, Iya captioned, “And why is it just now in my 5th pregnancy that I experience PRODROMAL LABOR?! Kailan ka na lalabas bebe guuuurl?!?” Prodromal labor is often referred to as some kind of “fake labor” as the mother experiences continuous contractions which does not lead to the actual delivery of the baby.

She also shared, “Been experiencing contractions pretty frequently throughout the day but nothing major enough for me to do about it…”

It seems that it’s the complete opposite of her experience with their fourth child, Astro. In June 2022, Iya also shared how she had the “longest and most painful delivery,” by giving birth to Astro. “I was at 6 cm and giving up when I asked for the drugs when all of a sudden God flipped a switch and I delivered 30-40 minutes after!!!…He opened my cervix up before the drugs came. What an experience,” she wrote in one of her posts.

Iya Villania’s pregnancy journey

Iya and Drew got married in January 2014. They welcomed their eldest, Primo, two years after tying the knot, and then four more cute blessings came their way.

It was in September 2024 when Iya and Drew announced that they’re going to be parents to five kids in a fun video they did with their children. The whole Arellano tribe was dancing to Lou Bega‘s popular song, “Mambo No. 5.” Starting off with the lyrics “One, two, three, four,” the four Arellano siblings were seen jamming to the beat.

And when the “five” played, it was then that the couple showed an ultrasound of their fifth baby! The announcement came almost two months after their youngest, Astro, turned two years old.

The family is known to be a happy bunch on social media. They share cute milestones about being a family and also talk about how they keep a healthy and fun parenting style for their growing kids.

Congratulations, Iya and Drew!
