Kapamilya actress and “Star Circle Quest” alumna Melissa Ricks has given birth to a baby girl named Kiera Kelly with her non-showbiz boyfriend Charles Togesaki on Monday January 12, 2015.
The former “Pedro Penduko” star took her personal Instagram account to post the first photos of her baby weighing in at 7.07lbs. The actress wrote that she gave birth via normal delivery around 3:35 P.M. at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City.
Melissa Ricks confirmed her pregnancy in July, saying that she is already four months pregnant. She also said that she is worried about the reaction of her parents to her pregnancy but she was happy when they supported her.
The 25-year-old star introduced her businessman boyfriend to the public after a few days she confirmed her pregnancy. She came public with Charles Togesaki during an interview with “The Buzz.”
She also said that they are really happy because they wanted a baby girl for their first child. “We are very happy because we wanted a girl. Meron kaming naisip na names pero hindi pa sure. Gusto namin ng name na walang nickname. Nag-iisip pa,” she said.
Melissa Ricks rose to fame after joining the ABS-CBN talent search “Star Circle Quest.” She was last seen in the hit and now defunct TV series “Honesto” in 2013.
