Tom Rodriguez shares he's now a dad to a baby boy
Tom Rodriguez is now a dad!
The actor shared that he welcomed a baby boy earlier in the year in an interview with News5 after a media conference for his upcoming show Huwag Mo 'Kong Iwan.
"I have a new source of inspiration. I'm a new dad to a very happy, healthy baby boy," he shared. "He's four months old and I've never experienced happiness at this level."
Tom added that he feels younger as a new father. "I keep saying before na tumatanda na ako, I don't feel it anymore. I feel younger, more vibrant."
He even said that he has been loving the journey as a parent, even the sleepless nights that come with having a newborn. "Everything it entails, I love it. Ang sarap. I've never been this energized."
The actor also told GMA Integrated News that his son is named Korben, an anagram for the word "broken."
Other details about the baby have been kept under wraps, including who the mother is. Earlier in March, Tom revealed that he was seeing someone. However, he kept the identity of his partner to himself.
"Magdadamot ako ata. Like what I said, I really want to keep it to myself. But like I said, I'll live my life like how it is, so, eventually siguro everyone would. What they see is what they get. But for now, it's my own now," he said at the time.
In June, his ex-wife Carla Abellana shared that they were officially divorced. This came after Tom, who is an American citizen, announced their separation in June 2022. The two married in 2021 after a seven-year relationship. After their split, the actor went to the United States to "recover" and returned to the Philippines earlier in the year.
