Alex shared photos of herself sitting on a couch, nursing her baby with a pillow on her lap. The baby's face is covered with a heart emoji. The post plays John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)," and her caption says it all:
One month of being a mommy! Walang ganda, ayos at ligo pero masaya. 🥹
Translation for our English-speaking readers: no beauty, no fixing up, not even a shower, but happy.
The post quickly passed 350,000 likes, with Julia Barretto among the stars who hit the heart button.
What is the name of Alex Gonzaga's baby?
His name is Isaac Gerard G. Morada. Alex and her husband, Lipa City Vice Mayor Mikee Morada, revealed the name in September and called their son an "answered prayer."
The name fits. In Hebrew, Isaac means "he will laugh." For a couple who waited so long for this baby, and for a mom known for making the whole country laugh, that is kind of perfect.

Isaac Gerard was born on August 27, 2026. His arrival meant so much because Alex and Mikee went through three miscarriages, in 2021, 2023 and 2024, before this pregnancy. Alex was open about each loss, and a lot of women who went through the same thing found comfort in her honesty.
Why new moms are saying "same"
If you have had a newborn, you know. The first month is a blur of feeding, burping, changing, and wondering when you last ate a hot meal. Showering becomes a luxury. Looking "put together" is not even on the list.
That is why Alex's post landed. Social media is full of new moms who somehow look perfect a week after giving birth. Alex showed the other side, the real side, and still called it happy. That is permission for every tired mom out there to stop comparing.
