Ellen Adarna and John Lloyd Cruz celebrated the birthday of their son, Elias Modesto, who turned five on Tuesday (June 27).

In her birthday message for Elias, Ellen thanked her son for giving her life purpose and for teaching her the true meaning of “unconditional love.”

Sharing snaps of Elias from when he was a baby, Ellen wrote, “5 years today my baby boy. Thank you for giving my life purpose and meaning. For teaching me patience, empathy, and unconditional love. See you in a bit! Mama loves you forever and ever and ever #timefliessofast.”

She also shared photos from Elias’s birthday celebration at an indoor playground in Manila with some friends, including Beauty Gonzalez’s daughter Olivia.

“My birthday boy #5yearsold,” Ellen wrote.

Meanwhile, John Lloyd also turned to social media to mark Elias’s birthday, sharing snaps of their simple celebration together with his rumored girlfriend, Isabel Santos.

In the caption, the actor simply wrote, “Happy Birthday Anak.”

Ellen and John Lloyd have been co-parenting Elias since they announced their split back in 2019. In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Ellen opened up about their co-parenting set-up.

"We co-parent. Not naman half of the time, because of course most of the time he’s (Elias) with me. But in a month, he has 13 days with him (John Lloyd),” she said. “He should have a good relationship with him.”

Ellen, 35, is now married to hunky actor Derek Ramsay, who sees Elias not as a stepson but as his own. Sharing his own birthday tribute to Elias on Instagram, Derek wrote, “I’m super proud to be your Papa D! Happy birthday my little babing. Love you son.”

Previously, Derek stressed that he had no intentions of taking John Lloyd’s place as the real father of Elias. “I don’t want to disrespect John Lloyd,” he said. “He’s the biological father [of Elias] and I’m always going to be second best to John Lloyd.”

“But I love him like he’s my own,” Derek said of his stepson.
