Karel Marquez is having a boy
22 Feb – Actress Karel Marquez recently announced that she and husband Sean Fariñas are expecting a baby boy.
As reported on ABS-CBN, Marquez shared the good news on Instagram on 20 February, writing that she and her husband have chosen the name Kobe Federico Santos Fariñas for the baby.
"QUICK NAME STORY: My husband bought this Lakers shirt for Kyler before, and since this doesn't quite fit him anymore, we are passing it on to our newest addition to the [family]," she wrote.
Marquez stated that the name choice was obviously attributed to her husband's favourite basketball player, Kobe Bryant.
"Although I am not [a fan], I agreed since all my kids' name start with a "K". So we're both happy," she said.
As for the name "Federico", Marquez stated that it was the name of her husband's late father and grandfather.
"Fair enough. GREAT deal. Both parents, happy! And if we have a baby girl next, my husband agreed that I would choose the name, still with "K", of course," she said.
This would be the first child for Marquez and Fariñas. However, the actress already has two children, Keiley and Kyler from previous relationship.
