Marquez shared the news on Instagram on Wednesday, announcing that the boy will be named Kobe Federico Santos Fariñas.

"My husband and I had a deal. Wala ako magagawa, idol niya si Kobe Bryant kahit ako hindi, but since all my kids ay may 'K' name forever, pumayag na ako. Para happy kaming dalawa," Marquez explained, adding husband's late father and grandfather were both named Federico.

"Fair enough. Great deal. Both parents, happy! And if we have a baby girl next, my husband agreed na ako naman ang pipili ng name, 'K' pa rin."

Marquez and Fariñas got married in December 2016.

The actress has credited Fariñas as the father figure to her two children from a previous relationship, Keiley and Kyler.

Marquez revealed via Instagram that she's pregnant in November last year.
