Raising a kid is definitely one of the most challenging yet fulfilling things that could ever happen in a person’s life. Thankfully, there are dutiful godparents who are willing to help parents in guiding their kids to grow up into becoming valuable members of the society and in taking on other responsibilities when the need arises.
And in this Kapamilya Snaps feature, let’s find out who among our favorite stars are loving godparents to their celebrity friends’ adorable kids.
Kathryn Bernardo
As her avid fans know, Kathryn is a ninang to her Princess and I co-star and longtime friend Sofia Andres’ daughter, Zoe. The box office queen attended the little girl’s baptism in June 2020 and second birthday in November 2021.
Besides, the Asia’s Superstar is also a ninang to the firstborn of Melai Cantiveros, which the Magandang Buhay host boasted in an Instagram post.
Angelica Panganiban
Before having a baby of her own, Angelica used to be an in-demand ninang to her friends’ children. Among her inaanaks are Melai’s eldest daughter Mela and his best friend John Prats’ eldest child Feather. She was able to attend their respective christenings in 2014 and 2016.
Sam Milby
Sam is also one of John Prats’ good friends who willingly took on the role of being a godparent to Feather. Sam was one of the guests present when Feather was welcomed to the Christian world in 2016.
Kyle Echarri
Just in case you don’t know yet, Kyle is actually good friends with Markus Paterson. Thus, he was tapped by him to be one of the ninongs of Baby Jude, his son with actress Janella Salvador. In a previous post, Markus shared how talking to Kyle helped his mental health during those times when he was struggling with the emotional toll of being a first-time dad.
Erich Gonzalez
Meanwhile, Janella also got a celebrity ninang for Jude, and she’s none other than Erich, who she considers as one of her close friends in showbiz. In a video message to Jude, Erich told her inaanak, “Please don’t grow up too fast. Your ninang Erich will always be here for you, praying for you.”
Coco Martin
Being McCoy de Leon’s kuya in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano (and now in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo), it isn’t surprising that he and partner Elisse Joson chose Coco to be one of the godfathers of their daughter Felize.
Although he wasn’t able to attend the little girl’s baptism, he still prepared a gift and a simple letter for her, in which he wrote: “ngayon palang marami na nag mamahal sayo.”
Julia Montes
Aside from Coco, McLisse also got Julia as the ninang of their daughter. She was also not present during the event, but she made sure that her inaanak would feel extra loved by sending her a gift, along with a note that read: “May God protect you always and know that you are one lucky baby to have your parents.”
Prior to Baby Felize, Julia has already taken on the same role to Dimples Romana’s son Alonzo in 2015. As we all know, they got to work first in the 2010 remake of Mara Clara and have remained close friends through the years.
Angel Locsin
Dimples’ son Alonzo is indeed blessed to have Angel as his ninang as she’s become like a second parent to him ever since his baptism in 2015. The The Iron Heart actress and her husband Boyet Ahmee revealed in one of her interviews that Angel actually sometimes volunteers to take care of him whenever she and Boyet would go on dates or have to go out together.
Vice Ganda
Even before Angeline Quinto’s baby Sylvio was born, Vice already fulfilled her duty as a godparent to him hosting a gender reveal party for her. And during his christening in June 2022, the It’s Showtime host made sure that she’s present to that milestone in the life of her godson.
Kim Chiu
Even though she was not spotted in any of the pictures she posted from Baby Sylvio’s baptism, Angeline Quinto revealed in a previous interview that Kim is actually included in the list of ninangs.
And last February 2023, she was seen attending the christening of Baby Amila, the adorable daughter of her bestie Angelica Panganiban and non-showbiz fiancé Gregg Homan.
Bela Padilla
The “bean-yag” of Baby Amila turned into an AngBeKi reunion as she finally got to bond with Angge and Kim. She may have already moved to London, England, yet Bela makes sure to meet up with Angelica, Kim, and her inaanak Bean as often as possible. She and Kim also got to visit the Homans at their home in Subic last March 2023.
John Prats
From being the one to invite his friends to be the godparents of his three kids, John was excited when it was his turn to be a ninong to Angelica Panganiban’s daughter, Amila Sabine. He captioned a post, “May inaanak na ako sayo Pets [Angelica] Pasensya na at hindi ka muna importante ngayon. Si bean talaga ang nag pa excite sakin. Forever nandito ang Pamilya ko para sa inyo!”
Two months after the baptism, he and wife Isabel Oli then had the chance to also visit them in Subic last April 2023.
Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo
Another big star present during the christening of Baby Amila was Juday. Angelica enthusiastically detailed in an Instagram post how helpful Juday was throughout her pregnancy and after giving birth. She wrote in the caption, “Walang tigil si ate juday sa pagpapadala ng care packages. Kulang na lang siya magpaanak sakin.”
Cherry Pie Picache
After playing cupid to her and Gregg since she’s actually the one who introduced them to one another, Cherry Pie went on to play another important role in their little family’s life – as one of the godparents of Baby Amila. The two actresses are actually both part of the celebrity barkadahan called the Kontrabida Package.
How about you, Kapamilya? If you’ll be given the chance to pick a famous godparent for your children or future kids, who are you likely to tap?
