Not only is beauty queen Sandra Lemonon engaged to be married to Philippine Basketball Association player Sol Mercado, but she’s also expecting a child with him!
Just a couple of days after she announced their engagement with a photo of her flaunting a blue ring on her finger, Sandra revealed the news of her pregnancy by showcasing her huge baby bump on Instagram. It seems that the two were actually having a maternity shoot by the beach when Sol decided to also propose to her.

“Creating life together,” she wrote on her post. “We love you Papi.”
She also shared a slideshow of photos taken during the sex reveal of their baby, who they’ve found out is going to be a boy.
“I’ve always imagined myself having a little baby boy, for it to actually happen is a surreal feeling,” Sandra gushed. Penning a heartfelt message to her fiance, she said, “You are an amazing life partner/friend & now Papa, thank you for another priceless gift in helping me become a Mama. We love you.”
Sandra and Sol confirmed their relationship last September 29, 2021. The two then got engaged on March 11, 2022, when they had their son’s sex reveal party.
