Celebrity couple Bryan Santos and Marlann Flores are expecting their first child together.

The two announced the delightful news in a surprise maternity shoot they did with Nice Print Photography, showing Marlann’s growing baby bump and a sonogram of their baby.  

“Just when we thought our love couldn’t grow any deeper, God decides to bless us with the most precious gift,” wrote the actress, who added that Bryan will be “the best daddy ever.”

For his part, Bryan said it has always been his dream to be a husband and a father.

“I remember being 15 years old and being asked where I saw myself in 10 years. Every other student mentioned a career or status in life that they wanted to achieve,” he said.

“I remember being the odd one of the bunch, and specifically saying that I wanted to be a husband and a father. Praise God for making my dreams come true.”

They shared the photos using the hashtag #BabySantos23. The shoot was held at the wedding venue Timmy in the Woods in Antipolo, Rizal.

Bryan and Marlann tied the knot in Batangas on January 4, 2022 after almost a year of being engaged. The two met on the set of the the ABS-CBN series Imortal back in 2010.
