‘Miracle in itself itong pagbubuntis ako. — Assunta de Rossi’
Assunta de Rossi said she is sure to have a happy Christmas this year.
“But I will be happier if the current pandemic ay namaalam na,” said the actress.
“Somehow I will be assured na safe kami ng aming baby.”
Yes, according to her obstetrician, she will have her first baby, a girl, before Christmas. The 37-year-old mom-to-be is praying for a safe delivery.
“Miracle in itself itong pagbubuntis ako. Sixteen years ago na nang kami’y ikasal ni Jules (Ledesma), kaya feeling naming dalawa, hindi na kami magkakaanak,” she further said.
Jules was a widower when he and Assunta wed. He had two children, a boy and a girl, from his previous marriage.
“Parang mga anak ko sila,” Assunta said, “And happily, they both treat me as their second mom. They are as excited as Jules and I about the new baby.”
Alessandra de Rossi, Assunta’s younger sister, is also eagerly awaiting the arrival of her pamangkin. Alex has volunteered to take care of the baby.
Because of the pandemic, Alex has decided to take a break from acting.
