Gary V and wife Angeli happy to be first time grandparents

Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano couldn’t hide his joy when Samantha Godinez-Valenciano, wife of his son, Paolo, gave birth to a baby girl at 1:21am at an undisclosed hospital today, November 2. Paolo and Samantha named their baby Nataleia "Leia" Martine.

"I'm speechless, dumbfounded... blessed... I remember Paolo...the day he was born," Gary said.

"I'll never look at a mother the same way again. They are the superior species! I can't believe I'm a dad," Paolo said.

Aside from Paolo’s parents Gary and Angeli, his siblings Gab and Kiana were also at the hospital.

Angeli then posted a throwback photo of Paolo and Samantha in  her Instagram and felt a little bit nostalgic.

“I remember when you were playmates. And now you're parents! It's still a dream for me!” she wrote.


Paolo and Samantha got married at the Manila Polo Club in February 2013.
