Jean Garcia Now A Proud Lola To Baby Mori, Praises Alwyn Uytingco For Being A Good Son In Law

AFTER ‘The Half Sisters’ that reigned supreme of GMA-7’s Afternoon Prime for nearly two years, Jean Garcia is now back on primetime in “Once Again”. “My last primetime show was ‘Adarna’ in 2014,” she says. “Maganda ang role ko dito sa ‘Once Again’ as a masseuse na na umampon at nagpalaki kay Janine Gutierrez matapos siyang mawalay sa biological mother niya, si Sheryl Cruz. First soap ko with Janine and friends ko from way back sa ‘That’s Entertainment’ ang parents niyang sina Lotlot de Leon and Ramon Christopher. Ang gandang bata at mabait pa.”

Jean is now an official grandmother after her daughter Jennica gave birth to a baby girl called Mori, with Alwyn Uytingco as the dad. “Excited ako sa apo ko. Ayaw ng anak ko na i-post sa social media ang pictures niya, pero ako, hindi nakatiis. Proud ako sa apo ko sa sobrang ganda niya, so ako na ang unang nag-post ng pictures niya. Di bale nang magalit sila, pero yung love ng isang proud na proud na lola for her beautiful angel, kailangan ko yung ilabas. So wala na rin silang nagawa at nag-post na rin sila ng cute pictures ni Baby Mori. Excited din sila, kaya lang naunahan ko na sila. Ngayon, nag-guest na nga sina Jennica at baby niya sa show ni Marian Rivera na ‘Yan ang Morning’. Nag-taping na sila roon kaya abangan nyo.”

Jean has also nothing but good words for her son in law, Alwyn Uytingco. “Mabait talaga siya kay Jen at sa baby nila, maasikaso, also a good provider. Ang maganda sa kanila, they live a simple life. Hindi maluho.”
Will Jen still accept acting jobs even if she’s now a mom?

“Open naman siya. And I think makakabalik pa siya. Ako nga noon, after I gave birth to her, nakabalik din and I’m still very active up to now.”
