Jesi Corcuera, former StarStruck finalist and proud transgender man, shared heartwarming photos of his newborn daughter, Calia Elle, affectionately called “baby Ninja.”
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Jesi expressed his love and gratitude, writing, “Welcome to the world, Calia Elle (baby Ninja)! My life will never be the same. You are my greatest blessing.”
One photo captured Jesi gazing lovingly at Calia, while another showed the baby peacefully sleeping in a basket adorned with leaves and pine cones, a picturesque symbol of new beginnings.
A Groundbreaking Journey
Jesi announced his pregnancy in October and shared that baby Ninja was conceived via artificial insemination. The news of Calia’s birth was first revealed by Tito Boy Abunda on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on December 11.
Jesi’s journey has been widely celebrated as a powerful testament to love, resilience, and breaking barriers.
From StarStruck to Parenthood
Jesi first rose to fame as part of StarStruck: The Next Level in 2006, where he shared the stage with Kris Bernal, Aljur Abrenica, Paulo Avelino, and Chariz Solomon. Now, nearly two decades later, Jesi has embraced a new chapter in life: parenthood.
Calia Elle’s arrival marks a moment of joy and transformation for Jesi, who continues to inspire as a trailblazer in the LGBTQIA+ community.
