• John Lloyd Cruz posted a poem for his son Elias.
• John Lloyd and Ellen have been out of the public eye since over a year ago.

It’s been nearly four months since Ellen Adarna gave birth to her son with actor John Lloyd Cruz, Elias.

On October 1, John Lloyd uploaded a photo of a poem dedicated to Elias titled “Mga Ibon.”

“Mangmang pagdating sa’yo

Sa iisang tunog mong taglay

Sa kaaya-ayang sorpresa ng paglapit mo

Sa imahe ng kalayaan na tiyak iwinawaksi mo

Sa perpektong hubog ng iyong galaw

Sa lupa

Sa ere

Sa tubig

Sa ‘yong talentong alingawngaw ng isang ina

Sa’yong malabalong papel sa ating nakaratay na sistema

Ako’y mangmgang pagdating sa’yo

Ang paulit-ulit mong huni ang kalinga sa aking mapag-isang katahimikan”

The couple have made the pregnancy and birth private but last month, the actor uploaded a video containing a smiling photo of a baby who is allegedly Elias.

John Lloyd Cruz and Ellen Adarna have been taking a break from the showbiz industry for almost a year. It is still unclear as to when the two will make a comeback.

The couple was last spotted in a party. They were reportedly with a baby, which was speculated to be Elias.

• Children of celebrities who were ‘once’ kept from the Public.
• Kids and Personalities with Celebrity Parents.

In spite of celebrities being watched 24/7, some of them can still keep things without the public noticing anything. It can be as little as a scar that can be covered by any makeup or as big as a pregnancy that the public would feast upon.

Here are a few celebrities that have children you may not know about in the past:

Phoemela Baranda

Phoemela Baranda was 19 and had a busy modeling career when she got pregnant with her daughter, Kim. All her life, Kim thought that Phoemela was her older sister and she only found out about the truth when she was already 11 years old.

Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez 

Last 2013, the word got around that Sarah Lahbati was pregnant with her child with Richard Gutierrez. The couple gave no confirmation as they flew to Switzerland. They first showed their son to the public in their reality show ‘It Takes Gutz to be a Gutierrez’.

Derek Ramsay

Back in 2011, actor Derek Ramsay found out that he has a son named Austin. Austin is his son with estranged wife Mary Christine Jolly.

Marjorie Barretto 

Marjorie Barretto is the mother of Dani, Julia, Claudia, and Leon. Her eldest is her child with Kier Legaspi. On the other hand, Julia, Claudia at Leon are her children with her second husband, Dennis Padilla.

Aubrey Miles

Aubrey Miles admitted last 2014 that she has a son named Maurie. When asked about the reason on why she kept him as a secret, she answered “Noong time na ‘yun kailangan fresh ka. Mas sisikat ka. Siyempre sa mga endorsements mo gusto nila single ka, hindi ka mom.”

Piolo Pascual

Inigo Pascual was all grown-up when he was introduced to the public by his father, Piolo Pascual. Inigo is currently following his dad’s footsteps as he’s trying his luck in the showbiz.

Liz Uy

Last March 16, Liz Uy, a famous celebrity stylist revealed that she has a son named Xavi. In one interview by Preview, she said that “Every time I do anything, I think of Xavi first.”

Ellen Adarna and John Lloyd Cruz

There have been speculations that Ellen Adarna is currently pregnant with her child and the rumored father is the actor John Lloyd Cruz. Although there hasn’t been a confirmation just yet, last June 19, the two were spotted at Chong Hua Hospital in Cebu for an alleged prenatal check-up.

• Reasons why John Lloyd Cruz’ behavior is just normal
• John Lloyd Cruz is human, he does what a normal person do

Controversial videos of John Lloyd Cruz have been spreading like a wildfire on the internet, and people are not pleased with it. In the said video, John Lloyd was acting bizarre, dancing in a weird manner.

It was a series of videos taken by Ellen Adarna’s friend @doreenting on Instagram. Ellen and the One More Chance actor are rumored to be having a romantic relationship.

Until the two confirms what’s going on between them, we can never assume anything. The two great actors are old enough to do everything they want. Let’s just be happy for them. For the meantime, here’s a list of reasons why John Lloyd Cruz’ recent behavior is just normal and people need not get alarmed.

1. Everyone if not all- get drunk

You have experienced it, for sure. If not, you probably have seen a friend that’s so drunk, and it is normal to act like that. You’re under the influence of alcohol, and you tend to be half conscious of your actions. John Lloyd got drunk, he had fun like how you would feel after a joyful feast with a beer.

2. He’s of legal age

Guys, he’s 34 for fries sake. He is just doing what a normal 34-year-old does. Having a good time with great friends, running away from all the problems for just one night. For sure, he’s just escaping all the stress his job had caused him. Imagine, what would you feel if you’re old enough and people judged you for doing a normal thing? You feel it, yeah? Same thing with JL.

3. There’s nothing to be sorry about

It’s absurd for people to ask apology from John Lloyd just because he was caught drunk on tape. Seriously, people? We all have that one embarrassing moment we wished never existed. Did people ask you to say sorry for it? He doesn’t exist just to please everyone, you should know this, it’s as cliche as this. We’re so lucky that JL expressed his apologies so that people can stop. Happy now?

4. Ellen Adarna is not a bad influence

Again, he’s 34. He knows what he’s doing. He knows a good company and also the bad ones and choosing to have fun with Ellen and her friends is all up to him. You can never accuse the 29-year-old actress of something she did not intentionally do. Ellen was known for being carefree and people liked her for that. She went on a trip with JL, and they had fun. Is there something wrong with that?

5. He’s not responsible for the younger generation’s liberation

We get it, he’s super famous, influential and people look up to him. But he’s human, he is not a supreme being. He does what people normal do, and it’s not right to pressure him to be as good as you want him to be. No one likes that, do you?

6. Possible drug use?

We cry impossible. Well, here’s a thing, if he was convicted of using drugs, that’s the time we should be alarmed. But was it confirmed? Are there reports saying that he is guilty?

Until then, again, we can never assume. Let’s use common sense. Think of this as hypothetical. If JL is really high at that moment, do you think that someone close to him will take a video of what really happened?

7. He’s a great actor period

C’mon, his recent endeavors do not reflect on his craft. People who discredit his line of work just because he was seen drunk and naive, are insane. He is a great actor, one of the best, and that should stop there. No buts and no ifs. You cannot question his dedication on what he does just because you have seen the other side of him.

It’s also good to be vulnerable in the eyes of many, this is to gauge who really love and respect him. In the end, those who know him wont even care. Everyone makes mistake and no one is entitled to step on his toe just because he did such act. Puritan minds must stop, as it will never help. period. Let’s cheers to that!

We’ll leave it here, okay? It’s up to you now.

It’s not the first time The Dailypedia featured celebrities and their cartoon character lookalikes.

Are you ready for another round?

1.) Ruby Rodriguez and Meg Griffin

Ruby Rodriguez is a Filipino actress and host of the longest running variety show Eat Bulaga. Meg Griffin is the tritagonist of the Family Guy franchise.

Ellen Adarna, one of FHM’s sexiest women just recently became single again, and not only does she want to avoid commitment, but she said that she wants to have a child only without any strings attached!

Adarna, who was in a commited live-in relationship with businessman Raoul Olbes, revealed in a press con last month that she and Olbes have already broken up last September 2014. She mentioned that both of them already wanted out and that the decision was mutual. Furthermore, she stated that both of them had issues that were already difficult to resolve which made her decide to end things with Olbes.  She did not reveal further details, but said that Olbes knew the reason of their break-up. Adarna also said that there was no third-party involved in their failed relationship.

Baby maker wanted?

According to Inquirer News, in a recent interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), Adarna told the press that in three years time, she wants to have a baby and that her parents even support her for it.

Alam niyo naman na gusto ko lang magkaanak, even my parents know that. I told them na in three years’ time, I like to have my own baby na, and they said they will support me.

Aside from her lack of interest in a serious relationship, Adarna also mentioned that she will just focus on her career for the moment.

May mga nagpaparamdam, pero wala muna, iba ‘yung priorities ko right now. Siguro, for now, I would like to concentrate on my career and ‘tsaka na ulit ‘yung love.

Hmmm… We are definite that a lot of Filipino men would like to the father of her child… What do you think of her statement? Please leave a comment below.

You will never see this commercial on TV. Why? It’s just because Ellen Adarna is too hot for this video commercial!

Ellen Adarna’s gratuitous ‘sexiness’ warranted her each being banned from TV, and therefore only viewable on the internet. Just like this one hot commercial that will give us more reasons to love the internet! It’s a big mystery why this commercial featuring Ellen Adarna on the ‘Healthy is Hot’ campaign of a new coffee brand called Nice Coffee. Oh, yeah, because it’s just so hot.

Get ready to roar in laughter as Skylight Films brings together its king and queen, Zanjoe Marudo and Pokwang respectively, in the most hilarious family comedy that is about to hit nationwide – My Illegal Wife.

Teaming up both their unique brilliance and formidable humor as comedians, Z and Powkie made a promising pair in this film as they earned the nods of film critics and the adoration of their loyal fans in their previous hit films Bromance and Call Center Girl.

Directed by blockbuster director Tony Y. Reyes, My Illegal Wife mainly revolves around the story of a loving mother named Clarisse (Pokwang) who will definitely do almost anything to make her family happy, even if it would mean taking the risk of tricking Papa Henry (Zanjoe), who is suffering from amnesia, in to making him believe that he was legally married to her.

Likewise, the film will not only be a laughing medicine for the whole family but it is also a heartwarming story that will abound in the limits of true and lasting love. Moviegoers can definitely expect a zany and whacky movie with hyper tandem of Z and Powkie added to the peerless comedy of Direk Tony.

My Illegal Wife also stars country’s veteran comedians such as Empoy Marquez, Joy Viado, Pooh, Edgar Allan Guzman, Beauty Gonzales and Ms. Anita Linda along with a line-up of coming stars to include Mikylla Ramirez, Steven De Guzman introducing the desirable Ellen Adarna.

My Illegal Wife premieres in cinemas nationwide starting this June 11.
