In an Instagram post, Kryz wrote (published as is), "Our lucky little boy is here finally here [cloud emoji]."
They also uploaded a YouTube vlog on the same day.

DOCUMENTING THE DELIVERY
In the YouTube vlog, the couple documented their birthing experience and revealed that Kryz gave birth on Saturday, May 21, 2022.
Kryz, a content creator, said she started having contractions at around 1 a.m. She initially hesitated to go to the hospital because she thought she was experiencing "false" contractions.
By 4 a.m., Kryz woke her husband up after feeling strong and regular contractions.
Eventually, they decided to go to the hospital.
Former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Slater recalled, "So pagdating namin sa hospital, Kryz was having contractions na and parang nagpo-progress na siya."
Kryz revealed that compared to her experience in delivering their first son Scottie, she was in less pain this time around.
She said in the video, "I was 6 cm na guys... 6 to 7 cm. And I remember with Scott, yung 6 to 7 cm dilated, like, I was shivering and I was dying.
"Like, konti na lang animal na ako like, 'Haaaah!' Ganun na yung level of pain.
"But 6 to 7, nakayanan ko pa. It's a lot less painful this time around. I don't know if it's mentally lang na mas prepared ako or less painful talaga siya the second time around."
EXPERIENCING COMPLICATIONS
Kryz, however, experienced several complications during her child's delivery.
Her contractions weren't progressing, which meant she needed more oxytocin for her to fully dilate. Oxytocin is a hormone that helps relax the uterine muscle and causes the cervix to dilate.
Kryz's doctor, who wasn't there at that time, gave instructions to wait for her arrival before giving Kryz the oxytocin.
When Kryz's doctor arrived at around 1 p.m., they began to deliver the baby.
Everything was going smoothly until Kryz's doctor realized that the baby's umbilical cord was entangled around his neck.
Kryz said, "Paglabas ni baby, eggplant daw siya.
"The baby almost, like, didn't make it. [He] choked. And then, basta it's just one unfortunate event.
"Doc was saying, 'I'm so sorry, God because I kept cursing and saying why this is happening?'
"And at the end of the day, [she] realized that it was to save me, it was to save the baby."
Looking back, it seemed like the complications --from Kryz's contractions to their doctor's delayed arrival-- happened to ensure that the baby was delivered safely.
Slater explained, "Because if napaaga daw si Doc and they gave the oxytocin earlier, lalong mas delikado for the baby and guaranteed daw talaga, emergency [Caesarean] yun.
"Kasi parang it would have contracted earlier, some medical stuff. It was a good thing na na-delay siya and na-late siya, and natural lahat."
He added, "All in all, everything worked out for the best, and ang daming instances that it could've turned for the worse talaga. So we're very, very lucky."
Kryz first revealed that she was pregnant last November 25, 2021.
They have yet to reveal the name of their second son.
