Jessa Zaragoza Says Husband Dingdong Avanzado Is Asking For A Baby Boy

JESSA ZARAGOZA gave husband Dingdong Avanzado full support when he staged his recent countdown concert for his coming 25th anniversary in showbiz at Zirkoh Bar that also launched his new album “Download”. So it’s not really true that their marriage is on the rocks?

“You know, hindi na lang namin pinapansin yan kasi we realized mas gusto ng ibang tao na may negative news about artistas like us,” she says. “Sa halip na mapikon, tinatawanan na lang namin. After ten years, maayos pa naman ang pagsasama namin. Meron din kaming naging problems but not big enough for us para maghiwalay. Our daughter Jayda is now 8 years old at plano na sana naming sundan ito kasi naiinggit si Dingdong kay Ogie Alcasid dahil naka-baby boy. Sabi niya sa’kin, honey, kailan tayo magbe-baby boy. Kaya lang naging busy ako with a new soap on GMA-7, ‘Kokak’, tapos, I’m now preparing a new album for Viva Records, so saka na lang siguro. Anyway, 32 pa lang naman ako, puede pang maghintay for a while.”

She’s happy with her role in “Kokak” as Sarah Lahbati’s mother. “Nagkahiwalay kami ni Sarah pero babalik na ako sa show nang mayaman na ako. Tutulungan kasi ako ni Gian Magdangal who will play a rich widower na magkakagusto sa akin and marry. Si Gary Estrada ang talagang husband ko sa ‘Kokak’ as he’s Sarah’s dad, kaya lang nagkahiwalay rin kami nang makulam din siya't maging tulala. Muntik-muntikanan na kaming magkita but we haven’t been reunited yet. As for Sarah, I like working with her kasi marami na kong nakasamang bago pero isa na siya sa pinakamahusay. Mabait pa and very humble. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, wag sanang lalaki ang ulo niya. Happy rin kami sa director naming si Ricky Davao kasi very considerate. Even sa drama scenes, hindi ka niya mamadaliin in building up your emotions. It helps na artista rin kasi siya.”
