Joyce Jimenez maintained the right curves after pregnancy

JOYCE JIMENEZ, the Fantasya ng Bayan who zoomed to fame in sexy films like "Scorpio Nights" and "Warat", is now a mother. She's back in town with her baby, Jorja Ely, who looks more like dad Paul Ely Egbalic with her big round eyes. Joyce didn't look like she delivered a baby and has maintained her curves in the right places. "Tumaba rin ako ng 40 lbs. during my pregnancy," she says. "But I exercise kasi. Having a baby doesn't mean you should neglect your figure na. Also, I breastfeed kasi at yun ang madaling maka-lose ng weight."

Born on October 16 three days before her own birthday, her baby is so well behaved. "Mabait siya talaga. Always smiling. I was worried about the long flight to Manila but she just slept and ate all throughout. We bought a house in San Diego, where my husband is a federal officer. Jorjy she sleeps by herself in her own room. Mahirap maging domesticated housewife. I do everything and hands on ako kay Jorjy. Madalas, kulang ako sa tulog. Kaya enjoy ako sa Manila, kasi may yaya siya."

She came home with the blessings of Paul. "He knows showbiz is my passion and I really miss the Philippines so he allowed me to come home. He'll follow me here in April and sabay na kami babalik sa U.S. on April 21. While here, inasikaso ko rin ang lingerie business ko, Private Joyce, and I already guested in TV 5's 'Talentadong Pinoy' as a judge, then sa 'Full Time Moms' on Q Channel 11. May iba pang guestings lined up for me. I really missed acting."

Paul wants them to have four kids. "So by next year, gagawa na kami ng kasunod."
