It was back in January when the actress first shared the happy news that she was pregnant, shortly after announcing that she was engaged to boyfriend Aljur Abrenica.
Since then, she’s shared much of her pregnancy journey, wowing fans with a gorgeous maternity shoot and inspiring moms-to-be when she proudly bared her stretch marks! Through it all, she’s constantly gushed about how excited she is to meet her ‘little prince.’
Now the wait is finally over and she and Aljur can finally embrace parenthood after months of preparation!
Congratulations, Kylie and Aljur!
