“Darna” actress Iza Calzado and her husband Ben Wintle announced Friday that they are expecting their first child together.
Calzado celebrated her 40th birthday by posting a photo of her growing baby bump.
“Then you came along. Unexpectedly. You may not have been in my immediate plans but I instinctively knew that this was THE plan. In my forty years I have come to discern when God is steering me to a different direction. A path I may not have thought of yet it always turns out to be the best for me. So now, I surrender to His will with no resistance. God’s plans are always far greater than mine and I humbly accept this new chapter of my life with a heart filled with gratitude, casting all my fears and worries aside and simply trusting in the divine timing and wisdom of life,” Izza posted.
“They were right. Life does begin at 40. Simply put, your life begins as your mother turns forty. To know that life is growing inside me is great miracle. You are my miracle. You are my guiding light. Thank You, Lord, for the most beautiful birthday gift. Our ABUNDANCE. 🤍🤍🤍,” she continued.
Calzado previously spoke with ANC’s “Headstart” about her decision to freeze her eggs, saying it was something she discussed “early on” with her husband. She also stated that she is open to the idea of surrogacy.
