In a rare moment, actress Ellen Adarna shared photos of her when she was heavily pregnant with her son Elias Modesto in 2018.

She posted the photos in response to a request during a Q&A session with her fans on Tuesday, July 13.

This is the first time that Ellen has shared photos of herself back when she was pregnant with Elias, who is her child with actor John Lloyd Cruz.

Ellen, 33, and John Lloyd, 37, became a couple in 2017 then parted ways in 2019, just over a year after they welcomed their son.

Previously, Ellen revealed that she has a “co-parenting setup” with John Lloyd.

She also recently described the actor as a "present father" to their son.

"Si John Lloyd, present father. He wants to be present," she said, before stressing that, "[Elias] needs his father as much as he needs me."

For his part, John Lloyd said that both he and Ellen wanted her pregnancy in an exclusive interview with G3 San Diego for Mega Entertainment.

"Para sa akin… We wanted it eh. Alam naman na namin na it was going to happen," he said.

Ellen is now engaged to hunk actor Derek Ramsay, who also has a son with his former wife Mary Christine Jolly. The couple announced their engagement last March, just a month after they admitted their relationship.
