Denise Laurel admitted to yesterday's episode of The Buzz that she indeed got pregnant and had given birth to a baby boy.
Rumors about her pregnancy surfaced last year after her character in ABS-CBN's Kristine got axed. She denied the rumors but eventually faded from the limelight.
She surprised everyone when she topbilled last Saturday's episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya opposite Matt Evans. A day later, she admitted the pregnancy issue on The Buzz.
But why did she come out with the confession now after denying it all in the past?
“Para masagot ko iyong mga tanong. I wanted to do it in a time na hindi magulo, hindi stressful, 'yung I can face everybody happy and show them what I really feel," she said.
She refused to name the father of her son, though. She said he is not a celebrity and she's keeping his identity in respect for his family. "We are still together. I can say that he provides for his family. He is a great father. We are just working on things as they come along," Denise further said.
She's also thankful for the support she got from her family, who were the the first ones that came to her mind when she found out she's pregnant. But although her family was disappointed, "not once did they raise their voice... they talked to me, they asked me if I love the father, if I’m ready for this... My family has always been there for me. Not even thank you is enough. I’m just so thankful that I have people in my life like them,” she said.
