Back in April 2024, Serena announced that she and her husband welcomed their first child. The couple first shared the news of Serena’s pregnancy in November 2023, much to the delight of their celebrity friends and fans.

The couple tied the knot in 2022 after four years of dating, exchanging vows in the scenic Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. Serena previously shared that she and Thomas first met on the dating app Bumble back in 2018.

Serena became a household name in the 1990s after her breakout fastfood chain commercial and went on to star in several ABS-CBN movies and series. Her last big-screen role was in 2010, playing the teen daughter of Ai Ai delas Alas in a sequel to Tanging Ina, before moving abroad to pursue graduate studies in the UK and eventually settling in the United States.

In a previous interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, Serena shared why she chose to leave the entertainment industry in the Philippines.

“Marami akong reasons for leaving showbiz and Philippines. One of the biggest reasons was during the time na wala ako masyadong projects, and I realized na I can’t rely on just my acting career I need a back-up plan, eventually my back-up plan became my priority. I chose studies over acting,” she stated.
