Celebrating her husband Drew Arellano’s 44th birthday, Iya Villania crafted a touching and sincere tribute on Instagram. The host and news anchor skillfully compiled a series of videos showcasing Drew’s life at home and during their family vacations, creating an Instagram Reel that highlights his profound role as a father. The clips, filled with tender moments, show Drew engaged in the joyful chaos of parenting their four children, a testament to his commitment and love as a dad.
In her heartfelt message, Iya praised Drew, describing him as “the calm in the storm” and simultaneously “the hurricane in the room,” encapsulating his dynamic and comforting presence in their lives. She expressed her family’s deep affection for him, stating, “Your presence is one we always long for. It’s obvious that wherever you go, there we all want to be.”
Iya continued her tribute by acknowledging the profound joy and admiration she feels in witnessing Drew’s interactions with their children. She reflected on the beauty of observing him shine in those precious, everyday moments of fatherhood.
Describing Drew, Iya used vivid and affectionate terms, calling him “The clown who can divert any meltdown, a loving and gentle disciplinarian, the Iron Man where no load is too heavy to lift, Mr. Always-On-Time and quick to adjust, Mr. You-Never-Know-When-He’s-Actually-Being-Serious.” Her words painted a picture of a versatile, dedicated, and loving figure in their household.
Expressing her deep gratitude, Iya concluded her message by cherishing Drew’s heart and the person he is, a sentiment that Drew acknowledged with heartfelt crying emojis in response to the video.
The bond between Iya and Drew, who were united in marriage in 2014, is further enriched by their four children: Primo, Leon, Alana, and Astro. The couple, who have playfully hinted at the possibility of a fifth baby, continue to weave a family life filled with love, humor, and togetherness.
Drew’s vision of fostering a comforting, bubbly, light, and humorous household is evident in his dedication. When he’s not engaged in filming “Biyahe ni Drew,” he prioritizes being present and creating cherished moments with his children, a commitment that truly defines his character and the loving atmosphere he cultivates in their home.
