The moment you become certain of your purpose in life, everything really makes sense and just falls into place. It’s that realization Forevermore actress and mom Sofia Andres had when she saw her child for the very first time and held her in her arms.
In an interview with ABS-CBN showbiz correspondent MJ Felipe in 2020, she told him that it was at that very moment when she was at her happiest, “Masaya ngayong mommy na!”
According to her, Valentine’s Day 2019 would now go down as one of the most special days of her life as it was when she found out that she’s going to be a mom.
"Iba 'yong feeling talaga, 'di ko ma-explain. Sobrang saya, parang rollercoaster. Kinakabahan, 'di ko pa alam kung paano, pero 'yong makita mo na siya after nine months, ang galing ni Lord,” the actress further enthused.
It was in June 2020 when Sofia finally introduced to everyone her precious child Zoe Natalia with longtime boyfriend Daniel Miranda, through a Father’s Day greeting for her dad and her partner. This made everyone surprised and gushed over her very adorable daughter, with people, including her friends and colleagues in showbiz, expressed their happiness for the couple.
The 23-year-old actress shared to the whole world her life during her pregnancy through a short vlog, which included snippets of their stay in Australia, wherein she was able to already experience how her life would be with her racecar driver-boyfriend, and then gave birth to Baby Zoe on November 24, 2019.
Since then, Sofia has been filling our Instagram feeds with pictures of the very cute and charming Zoe, which her avid followers have been anticipating at the same time. The happy and proud patents went on to create an Instagram account for their firstborn, through which they share her adorable photos and other momentous milestones as well.
And one of those milestones were Baby Zoe’s baptism in June 2020, which were attended by the most important people in couple’s lives, such as La Vida Lena star’s celebrity friends Kathryn Bernardo and Bianca King, who are both Zoe’s ninangs.
Sofia has been emphasizing about how Zoe changed her and Daniel’s purpose and goals in their life. She reiterated it during her guesting in Magandang Buhay last year by imparting the things she had discovered about herself upon the arrival of her daughter.
“Hindi ko inakala na I’m capable of giving that unconditional love. ‘Yong connection namin ng anak ko, parang I can give so much love pa pala,” she tearfully told the momshie-hosts.
She continued, “So, na-realize ko after no’n, ‘yong pagmamahal sa akin ng mom ko. Ngayon ko lang naa-appreciate ‘yong mom ko, ngayon lang ako naging clingy sa kanya. I’m not showy, I’m not clingy with my mom, so ngayon ko lang nasasabi sa kanya, ‘I love you’. Before ako matulog, ‘I love you’, ‘I appreciate you’, kasi iba ‘yong pakiramdam pala kapag nakikita mo ang anak mo na sasabihin niya kada morning na, ‘Mama, morning, dabyu’…Sarap, sarap sa pakiramdam.”
Now that the talented actress is entering a whole new chapter in her life, we know that she will be a great mother to Zoe. Check out the adorable photos of Sofia, Daniel, and Zoe in this gallery!
