BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

Following the arrival of their first child, Maria, actress Maja Salvador and her husband Rambo Nuñez expressed their joy on social media as they commenced their journey into “parent era.”

The couple took to Instagram to post their inaugural family picture as they departed from the hospital following the actress’s triumphant delivery of their first child.

“Starting our parenthood journey 🤍,” Maja captioned. 

In the comments section, friends from the entertainment industry expressed their enthusiasm for the couple’s new adventure as first-time parents, including Iza Calzado, Jericho Rosales, Kakai Bautista, Rayver Cruz, Kathryn Bernardo, and others. 

Maja gave birth on May 31, 2024, after she shared on Instagram a photo showing her hand, Rambo’s hand, and their baby’s feet.

In addition to their friends from the industry, Marilen Roa Nuñez, the mother of Rambo Nuñez, expressed her happiness on social media for the arrival of her fifth grandchild.

“I am overjoyed with the arrival of my fifth grandchild. Being Oma again fills my heart with so much love. Maria is a beautiful addition to our family,” she said. 

She also praised her daughter-in-law’s bravery in bringing fresh happiness into their family.

“To my daughter-in-law, Maja: Your strength and resilience have been truly admirable. Despite the challenges, you brought Maria into the world with grace, courage, and unwavering faith in God and Mama Mary. I Love You,” she said.

The fans and supporters of the actress-TV host rejoiced when she announced on social media last December 2023 that she was pregnant and expecting a child with Rambo.  In a Christmas-themed baby reveal, the couple showcased that they received an early Christmas gift, and their family is growing. Maja gave a glimpse of her baby bump.

“Christmas came early 🎄🎁👶🏻,” she said on her Instagram post. 

Another one, “Our growing family 🎄👶🏻” showing her baby bump with Rambo and pet dogs.

The couple got married at The Apurva Kempinski, a five-star resort in Bali, Indonesia, on July 31, 2023, but they had a secret wedding ceremony in Manila on February 14, which coincidentally was their anniversary.

In an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in March 2019, Maja disclosed that she and Rambo were previously in a relationship when she was 21 years old. However, their relationship only lasted for four months back then. But, as they say, love is sweeter the second time around. 

As Maja was just starting her career in showbiz, she decided to prioritize her work and focus her attention on it. The accomplished actress mentioned that she made an exception to her rule of not rekindling relationships with ex-boyfriends when she and Rambo reconnected in the latter part of 2018.

Later, on February 14, 2019, Maja shared that she spent Valentine’s Day with a non-showbiz guy whom she had dated nine years before that particular day. It happened to be the opportune moment for them to rekindle their relationship.

At that point, Maja had already solidified her position as a recognized dramatic actress in ABS-CBN, and Rambo had also established himself professionally in the realms of marketing, events, and PR.

Maja mentioned to herself that sometimes there needs to be an “exemption to the rules,” so when the opportunity for reconciliation with Rambo arose, she granted it.
