The couple named their first baby Amari. Coleen gave birth to Baby Amari at exactly 6:33 a.m.
The 27-year-old actress delivered her first child through water birth at her home in Quezon City.
Coleen shared a photo of her holding her baby, and wrote in the caption: "There’s so much I wanna say, but for now, I just want to praise God for being so so good. Thank you, Lord, for our beautiful Amari [heart emoji]"
