MANILA - Television host-actress Alex Gonzaga couldn't help but gush over her newborn nephew on Friday. On her Instagram account, she posted a photo of Toni Gonzaga's first baby with director Paul Soriano, Severiano Elliot.

"No bias but baby SEVE is the cutest baby in the world," she wrote as the caption. "Sa wakas at nairi ka na ni inang ate."

Toni gave birth to Severiano early Friday. Soriano, her director-husband, broke the news on social media. "Toni wanted a normal delivery and she fought for it. She fought for it. I mean 38 hours of labor and about almost three hours of pushing," Soriano told TV Patrol in an exclusive interview.

"There was even times there she was kind of passing out na. When she’s fully dilated already, the head was coming out. The last few pushes was really tougher," he added.

Soriano also shared the story behind their baby's name. "Toni trusted me with that. I chose the name Severiano because my favorite golfer is Severiano Ballesteros, a Spanish golfer. And then Elliot is from 'E.T.', from the lead character in 'E.T.' My favorite movie. The reason why I like films," he explained.

Soriano and Toni have been a couple for more than eight years before getting married in June 2015. Toni first announced her pregnancy in April.
