Zeinab Harake’s son, Lucas, recently celebrated his 7th birthday with a grand and memorable celebration, as shared in a vlog on Zeinab’s YouTube channel. The party, themed around an army and soldier motif, featured Lucas dressed as the “Big Boss.”

The celebration was attended by Zeinab’s close friends and family, including notable personalities like Donnalyn Bartolome, sisters Yassi and Issa Pressman, Keiko Foxx, Awra Briguela, and vloggers Cong and Viy with their son, Kidlat.

The event was filled with fun activities for the kids, such as a zipline, trampoline, and various outdoor games.

In the video, Zeinab and Ray Parks both shared heartfelt birthday messages for Lucas.

“Continue to be the light and joy of this family. I pray that God grants you your heart's desires, that you get everything that you want and more,” Ray said. “Through the ups, and through the downs, we’re always here for you. Love you, kuya. Happy birthday.”

Zeinab added, “Lucas, happy birthday. Wishing you all the best, anak. Gusto kong lumaki ka pa na mas mabait, mas matalinong bata. Mahal na mahal kita. Forever akong magiging thankful na anak kita, love you kuya.”

Lucas responded to his parents with a heartfelt, “Love you, mommy and daddy and Bia.”

Zeinab’s siblings, Rana and Wessam, also sent their best wishes to their nephew.

Rana said, “Sana maging mabuti kang bata palagi, maging kuya ka lagi kay Bia. I love you so much, happy birthday.”

Wessam added, “Pag laki mo, sana maging mabuti, maka-Diyos at mabait kang bata. Dito lang kami ni Tita Rana mo. Happy, happy birthday. Love you.”

On her Instagram account, Zeinab also shared a touching birthday message for her firstborn. “Happiest birthday to my first baby @lucas.harake mommy loves you so much sana maging happy ka sa birthday party mo later 🫡🖤 forever akong magiging proud na anak kita 🥹❤️”

The birthday celebration comes shortly after Zeinab and Ray announced their engagement on July 7th. The couple shared their engagement journey in a video.

Following their engagement, Zeinab expressed her desire for a simple and intimate wedding.

“Ayaw ko naman na ganun ka-bongga, gusto ko ano lang 'yung mararamdaman natin 'yung pagiging intimate nung love mas mangingibabaw kaysa 'yung dami ng tao,” she explained. “So mamimili talaga ako kung sino lang talaga 'yung nasa buhay ko, 'yun lang siguro 'yung invited. Gusto ko simple lang.”

When asked about the wedding date, she indicated it would likely be next year, as they have many other priorities to focus on this year.
