Marfori wrote that the couple named their son Elias Modesto, taking after his late grandfather Alan Modesto.
John Lloyd and Ellen have yet to speak out about the birth of their child, but the actor once broke his silence online to debunk a report about his baby being baptized soon after birth.
Later on, the new dad was spotted buying baby items, which, according to the onlookers, were for a baby boy.

Last July 9, Ellen’s lawyer, Atty. Rebo Saguisag, confirmed the news that the actress had given birth on June 27.
Ellen is currently involved in a legal battle that ensued after she accused a minor of secretly taking photos of her and John Lloyd during a date.
The actress called out the minor on her Instagram Stories for the alleged stolen shots.
The minor denied Ellen's accusation, which prompted her parents, Myra and Roel Santos, to demand a public apology from the actress.
When Ellen did not respond, the minor's parents sued her for cyber crime and child abuse.
Atty. Rebo Saguisag is representing the actress in this case.
