Sid Lucero a happy dad to daughter Halo

SID LUCERO is having a great time being a dad to his daughter Halo, with band singer Bea Lao as the mom. “My mom (Bing Pimentel) helps us take care of her,” he says at the presscon of GMA-7’s new afternoon soap, “Magkano ang Pag-ibig Mo”, that replaces “Maghihintay Sa’Yo”. “She’s a big blessing dahil she gave a new direction to my life. It’s like the song ‘Amazing Grace’ dahil malaking grasya siya talaga sa buhay ko. Naisip ko lahat ng mga kagaguhang ginawa ko in the past at pinagsisihan ko and I prayed na sana, hindi siya maging ganoon o hindi siya ganunin ninuman. Dahil sa kanya, I let go of my old ways. When I saw Bea giving birth to her, ang respeto ko sa mga babae, tumaas nang todo.”

So are they thinking of marriage now? “We want to make sure muna that everything is fine between us. We don’t want to use the baby as reason for us to get together. Basta we’re more focused muna on our baby. Nandito kami for Halo na talagang inspiration ngayon sa’kin for me to work harder and do better in my career.”

Didn’t he have second thoughts working anew with Heart Evangelista in “Magkano ang Pag-ibig Mo” considering they were linked before when they were paired in “Legacy”? “No, because as Heart herself said, we dated a couple of times, but never naging kami. Hindi natuloy. At okay naman kami, we’re comfortable with each other. Sa first taping day nga namin, kuwentuhan kami agad, kumustahan. I’m glad to be working with her again and we have a good working relationship.”
