''I just received the best news from Dong and the best Christmas gift from God. LoloLa Nako!!!! Congrats @dongdantes & @therealmarian God Bless Maria Letizia. Salamat sa lahat Ng nag pray for Yan and Zia mahal po namin kayo. Ito na ang magandang balita sa Araw na ito,'' he said.
David also posted a photo of his text conversation with Rivera's husband, actor Dingdong Dantes, who confirmed the news to him.
According to Dantes, Rivera gave birth at exactly 5:25 a.m. today, November 23.
''Thank God they are both safe and okay,'' Dantes said.
Rivera and Dantes earlier revealed their plans to name their first child Maria Letizia.
After five years of being together, Rivera and Dantes tied the knot in a grand church wedding ceremony, celebrated by eight bishops and seven priests, at the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral in Quezon City last December 30.
A star-studded affair, it was attended by no less than President Benigno Aquino III as Dantes' best man. The couple also had 40 principal sponsors, 18 groomsmen, 18 bridesmaids and 25 secondary sponsors.
Rivera and Dantes met in 2007 when they co-starred in the local adaptation of "Marimar." They went on to play sweethearts in several more television series, including "Dyesebel" in 2008.
