Paolo and Samantha Valenciano finally posted photos of Nataleia Martine (you can call her Leia) and we couldn’t help but gush. This little one is cute beyond words and she now has her own Instagram account.

Paolo and Samantha Valenciano welcomed their baby girl Nataleia Martine at 7.9 lbs yesterday morning. Though they haven’t posted any of her photos, we have seen a variety of family photos taken when they were all waiting for her arrival.
It started when Paolo posted a photo of himself wearing a face mask with a caption that said, “My Halloween costume. #NataleiaMartine.”
Their cousin and artist RJ Dela Fuente then posted a photo of Paolo in full gear—with the funniest caption, if I might add.

Talent agency Manila Genesis posted a collage of photos of the Valencianos—Gary and Angeli with Kiana, Gab, and Paolo—with the announcement that Nataleia Martine has arrived and that both mom and daughter are doing well. Hooray!
Paolo’s mom Angeli couldn’t help but post a throwback photo of Paolo and Samantha back when they were playmates—and now they’re parents.
I remember when you were playmates. And now you’re parents! It’s still a dream for me! Will make this short as I’m too excited hehe This begins a brand new life for both of you. A child is a product of your love and union and I pray that faith and God’s Word will be the shield and sword you will use against this very chaotic world we live in today! May our Lord Jesus be a mantle of protection over Leia and your family now and always! Papa G and I love you both so much! Congratulations Direk Pao! Glory to God! #PaoIsTheNewPapaP #thevalencianos #thevees #samisamommy #paolovisadaddy #garyvisapappy #angelivisagrammy #theveesaresohappy #praisejesus #thepangilinansfirstgrandchild 💕💕💕 A photo posted by Angeli Pangilinan Valenciano (@angelipv) on Nov 1, 2016 at 11:31pm PDT
Tricia Centenera also paid a visit and posted a few behind-the-scenes shots on her Instagram Stories. She congratulated Paolo to which he replied, “I did something right in my life.” Awww!
Another selfie was posted online and this shows the whole Godinez-Valenciano family (cousins and all!) hamming it up for Baby Leia. We can feel the excitement!
Congratulations, Samantha and Paolo! We really can’t wait to see photos of #NataleiaMartine soon.
