Former Starstruck And PBB Contestant Jesi Corcuera Is Pregnant!

Jesi, who identified as a transman announced he is expecting his first child with his partner Camille

Remember Starstruck contestant and Pinoy Big Brother housemate Jesi Corcuera? He announced that he was going to be a parent.

On October 5, Jesi shared a photo on Instagram of his growing belly and a rainbow flag draped around him. He began his post by saying that writing about the announcement was tough.

Alam ko mahihirapan din kayong intindihin kung paano ito nangyari,” Jesi said of the pregnancy. He previously underwent surgery to complete his transition.

Jesi wrote that he had already thought of IVF in 2018 but differed it because of finances.

2018 nung simulan kong planuhing magkaroon ng anak. Pero that time, maraming struggles, lalo na financially and hindi rin naman biro ang gastos sa unang plano kong mag-IVF.”

Parenting with Camille

Jesi wrote that the decision to have a child was inspired by his partner Camille, who kids with her previous partner.

Naisip kong parang sign na yata ito ni Lord sakin. Baka ito yung warm-up Niya para sakin kung paano ako magiging magulang soon. Sa pagtayo ko bilang tatay ng mga anak ni Cams, maraming naging realizations. Isa na dun yung baka may chance pa pala akong magkaroon ng sarili kong anak,” Jesi shared.

He continued, saying he is grateful to be blessed now that he will be a parent and that people will not judge him for the decision to carry the child.

Simple lang naman ang gusto ko, yung magkaroon ng matatawag kong sariling akin. Alam kong may mga anak akong inako kay Cams at walang mababago dun sa pagdating ni “Ninja” (nickname ng baby ko Hahaha). Sa lahat ng desisyon ko sa buhay, malaki ang naging parte ng mga bata at ni Cams sa kung ano ako ngayon.

He concluded the post by asking his supporters to support him in the new journey and hope people will learn from him.
