Olympic athlete Hergie Bacyadan and his wife Lady Denily are celebrating their wedding anniversary with the joyous news that they are expecting their first child.
Olympian Hergie Bacyadan and content creator Lady Denily are beginning a long-awaited chapter in their marriage as they revealed they are expecting their first child through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Lady shared the announcement in a TikTok post on November 24, reflecting on the challenges they faced along the way.
“Lahat pala may purpose. God was writing a story we couldn’t see yet. A story where love wins, where healing comes, and where we finally get the family we’ve always prayed for,” she wrote.
In a video posted last year, the soon-to-be-mom recounted adopting a child with a former partner.
After their separation, she said her ex attempted to file charges of falsification of public documents and kidnapping.
“I had no choice but to give up the child. It was my most painful day,” she said, noting that co-parenting was never an option her ex was willing to consider.
Now, this new blessing carries even deeper meaning.
“I may have lost a child before but now I’m having my own baby, our baby,” she wrote.
In her anniversary message, Lady thanked her husband who helped her heal.
“You gave me the happiest life. I forgot the pain they caused me. They treated me like trash, but you treated me like a princess—loved, valued, and chosen every day.”
Hergie also left a loving comment on her post: “Salamat palagi nanay[,] I love you.”
Amid celebrating this personal milestone, Hergie is also focused on his next challenge in the ring.
With just a few weeks remaining, the Filipino Olympic boxer is undergoing intense training to make weight for his division ahead of the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand this December, where he will once again proudly represent the Philippines.
