Ali Khatibi's girlfriend hard-launches new bundle of joy

The girlfriend of mixed martial artist Ali Khatibi has announced the birth of their son, Axel Joshua.

Dona Balmadrid shared a photo of her holding the baby in a now-expired Instagram story on June 24. 

"Mama's boy," the sticker read.

Khatibi's non-showbiz girlfriend also tagged the baby's new account. Currently set in private, the handle @axel_khatibi has a bio that reads "Our little man has stolen our hearts." 

Khatibi was married to actress Christine Reyes in 2016, with whom he is co-parenting their daughter Amara. Their marriage was annulled in 2023. 

Reyes and Khatibi appear to be on good terms, with the actress posting photos of his former partner attending the moving-up ceremony of their daughter early this month. 

Meanwhile, Reyes is currently in a romantic relationship with actor Marco Gumabao. The two have also been discussing marriage and their future together.
