CONG TV and Viy Cortez’s family is growing with their newest member: a baby girl!
The internet-famous couple, who tied the knot in June, announced the good news through a gender reveal party attended by their family and friends in Tagaytay.
In a vlog titled “Little brother or little sister,” Cong and Viy, along with their eldest Zeus Emmanuel or “Kidlat,” stood on an all-white grandiose stage when a huge pink smoke spewed in the air. The venue was then filled with pink confetti, signaling the couple was expecting a baby girl.
This revelation not only brought happiness and excitement to the couple but also to their guests who were seen jumping and cheering with joy.
“Nararamdaman kong babae siya. Pero syempre nagulat pa rin ako na nakita kong babae kaya grabe yung iyak ko,” Viy said.
Cong, whose real name is Lincoln Velasquez, said their baby’s gender reveal also surprised him as he was expecting a baby boy.
“Pero ‘yon, kung ano pa man ‘yan, sobrang saya naming dalawa kasi may dadagdag na naman sa pamilya namin, especially kay Kidlat, magkakaroon na siya ng habang-buhay na kalaro,” he said.
Cong hoped that their daughter would inherit the physical traits of her mother.
“Kasi si Kidlat kamukhang-kamukha mo,” Viy chimed in. “Basta ang gusto ko sana magka-buhok sila ni Kidlat.”
The parents also left a message to their baby girl:
“Naka-ready na kami para protektahan ka for the rest of our lives. Walang pwedeng umapi at manloko sa’yo,” expressed Cong.
The longtime couple is one of the most-admired content creators in the digital world, known for their comedic and entertaining vlogs that bring laughter to their viewers, including the young generation. Cong and Viy have amassed 12 million and 6.84 million subscribers on YouTube, respectively.
‘Greatest gift’
On Instagram, Cong also shared a few snaps from the gender reveal party, saying that having a daughter is the “greatest gift” he has ever received for his birthday. The content creator celebrated his 33rd birthday on October 27.
“[The] Greatest gift you can give to a man on his birthday is 500k pesos, but you know what’s better? A daughter,” he wrote.
“Thank you Lord for blessing us with a child, whom I vow to protect my entire life,” he added. Cong reiterated that they are ready for their second child, and jested that their son is not yet.
Meanwhile, netizens and their fellow content creators could not contain their happiness for the couple.
“Ayan na team girl talaga ako una pa lang. Yehey, sobrang happy ako para sa inyo,” said Zeinab Harake. Zeinab’s fiancè and basketball star Ray Parks Jr. also congratulated the couple.
Internet personality Wil Dasovich told Cong, “Payat mo pre! Congrats.”
One netizen, on the other hand, jested, “Nakiki-iyak ako ‘di ko naman kayo pamilya.”
Another Instagram user dropped a humorous comment and said, “May kulog na,” since their son’s nickname is Kidlat, whom they welcomed in 2022.
