Drew Arellano Decides on Vasectomy After Welcoming 5th Child with Iya Villania
DREW ARELLANO – After welcoming their fifth child, Drew Arellano made the decision to undergo a vasectomy, marking a new chapter in his and Iya Villania’s family journey.
TV host Drew Arellano recently made headlines by announcing that he underwent a vasectomy, just months after he and his wife, actress and TV host Iya Villania, welcomed their fifth child. Drew shared the update on Instagram, adding a lighthearted twist with the caption “Happy late and advanced Mother’s Day to my wife,” while also playfully writing “HAPPY VA-SEC-TO-MEEE” to mark the occasion.
The couple, known for their strong bond and growing family, celebrated the birth of their fifth child, Anya Love, on February 11, 2025. Their other children include Antonio Primo, Alonzo Leon, Alana Lauren, and Astro Phoenix.
Back in June 2023, Drew had hinted at the possibility of a vasectomy as part of their family planning after having several children. Nearly two years later, he followed through with the decision, signifying a new chapter for their family life.
A vasectomy is a relatively simple surgical procedure used for male contraception, where the tubes that carry sperm are cut and sealed to prevent future pregnancies. Although it’s a straightforward and safe procedure, the choice to undergo it is often seen as a clear commitment to ending childbearing.
Fans and celebrities alike quickly took to Drew’s post to show their support, praising his openness and responsibility. Many admired the couple’s transparency regarding their family planning, resonating with others who value candid conversations about parenthood.
Drew and Iya’s relationship has long been a source of inspiration in the entertainment world. Since marrying in 2014, they have consistently demonstrated their commitment to family values while managing their professional lives. Their decision to limit their family to five children, combined with Drew’s decision to be open about his vasectomy, has only deepened the public’s respect for them.
As they move forward, Drew and Iya continue to showcase a modern, loving family, unafraid to share their real-life decisions with their followers.
