Diego Loyzaga joins the ranks of celebrity dads celebrating Father's Day for the first time this year.
On June 8, 2023, Diego took to his social media accounts to share a heartwarming photograph of himself holding a baby.
In the caption, he expressed his joy, writing, "The best birthday gift ever [red heart emoji]"
It was also Diego's birthday on May 21, which added significance to his special announcement.
As congratulations poured in from his family and inner circle, including Sunshine Cruz, Angelina Cruz, Gil Cuerva, and Enzo Pineda, Diego's announcement left fans eagerly waiting for updates on this new chapter in his life.
While Diego himself chose not to be explicit about the baby's biological father, it was the response of Teresa Loyzaga, the actor's mom, that had tongues wagging.

Amid the congratulatory messages was one burning question: "Who is the mother of Diego's baby?"
Speculations have run wild, considering Diego's past relationships and associations.
