The post featured a photo of the pregnancy test Barbara took, which manifested positive, and a caption from Romnick saying he is "Infinitely Blessed with Your Affirmation."
"Iba Ka Panginoon, maraming salamat Po," the actor added.
Likewise, on her Instagram page, Barbara also showed photos of the positive pregnancy test and thanked God for the gift of life.
“The cross that appeared on my test and this miracle as a whole is Your loudest yet most comforting affirmation. I praise and thank You for my Nicko, and all our friends and families who have expressed and continue to show their love and undying support. See you on February, Little Bean,” Barbara wrote.
