The internet is buzzing and fans are in shock — in the best possible way — after award-winning actress Janine Gutierrez broke her silence and publicly confirmed that she is pregnant with actor Jericho Rosales’ child!
The stunning revelation came via Janine’s personal Instagram post late last night, where she uploaded a beautiful black-and-white photo showing her silhouette — visibly pregnant — standing on a beach during sunset. The caption? Just three words:
“New life begins 💫”
Within minutes, the post garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and nearly crashed her comment section, with fans, celebrities, and fellow artists showering her with love, shock, and overwhelming support.
Confirming the Rumors – Finally
For months, rumors had been swirling about Janine and Jericho’s blossoming romance. The two had been spotted vacationing abroad, attending exclusive art exhibits together, and sharing cryptic Instagram stories at the same time, in the same places — yet neither of them ever confirmed they were a couple.
Now, Janine’s pregnancy post confirms not only their relationship, but that they’re expecting a baby — something no one saw coming, but everyone is now excited about.
A close friend of Janine’s shared:
“They’ve been together for a while now, quietly. This baby is very much wanted, and they’re both thrilled — even if they weren’t ready to go public just yet.”
Jericho’s Reaction: “I’m Going to Be a Dad Again”
Shortly after Janine’s post went viral, Jericho Rosales took to his Instagram Stories to share a simple but emotional message:
“Grateful. Honored. Ready. ❤️ #BabyOnTheWay”
The post included a boomerang of him holding a tiny pair of baby shoes next to his sneakers, further confirming the joyful news.
This will be Jericho’s first publicly known child, as the actor has always kept his personal life extremely private. Fans are now eager to see how this next chapter unfolds for one of the Philippines’ most beloved actors.
Celebrities React: “The Power Couple We Didn’t Know We Needed!”
The entire entertainment industry is buzzing with excitement, and many well-known names quickly chimed in to congratulate the couple.

Even some of Jericho’s co-stars from his iconic teleseryes shared messages, with Piolo Pascual writing:
“Welcome to fatherhood, brother. It’s a wild and beautiful ride.”
The Story Behind the Announcement
Sources say that Janine and Jericho originally wanted to keep the pregnancy private until after the first trimester. However, after some blurry paparazzi photos began to surface, they decided to take control of the narrative and share their joy on their own terms.
One of Janine’s stylists confirmed:
“She wanted the reveal to be quiet, artistic, and personal. That photo was her idea — simple, raw, and powerful. It’s who she is.”
The baby is reportedly due in early 2026, and both families are said to be thrilled. Janine’s mother, Lotlot de Leon, shared a cryptic yet emotional message hours after the reveal:
“You never stop being a mom — even when your baby is about to become one.”
What’s Next for Janine and Jericho?
With the news now public, fans are wondering what’s next for the new parents-to-be.
Janine, who had just wrapped a major teleserye project before the pregnancy, is reportedly taking a short break from acting to focus on her health and preparations for motherhood. Jericho, meanwhile, is said to be scaling back his travel schedule and upcoming projects to be more present during this exciting time.
One insider revealed:
“They’re building a life together quietly. They don’t need to prove anything. Their focus is the baby — and each other.”
