LOOK: Cristine Reyes' magazine debut as real-life mom

MANILA – Actress Cristine Reyes has totally let go of her sexy image as she makes her magazine debut as a real-life mother.

The former sexy star is seen holding her baby daughter, Amarah, on the latest cover of Smart Parenting magazine.

Amarah is her child with Ali Khatibi, a mixed martial arts fighter.

 

Referring to her first few months of motherhood, Reyes recalled in an interview with Smart Parenting: “I was scared, because I’m a first-time mom and my baby is a preemie.”

“Pakiramdam ko kailangan na kailangan ako ni Amarah at tutok na tutok ako dapat sa kanya. I was so worried if I could do it on my own,” she added.

Reyes, who started out as a reality show contestant, got her big break on ABS-CBN for taking on daring roles. She was once named by a men’s magazine as the sexiest woman in the country and went on to star in several box office hits.

Reyes later on announced that she is leaving sexy roles behind and move on to more “dramatic” projects. (READ: 10 reasons we will miss Cristine Reyes in sexy roles)

Cristine Reyes' baby girl is now home

MANILA -- Actress Cristine Reyes was able to bring her baby daughter Amarah home more than a week after she gave birth last February 8.

Reyes posted a photo of Amarah on her Facebook page on Tuesday.

This was only the second time the actress shared a photo of the baby, who was born prematurely. Reyes posted the first photo of Amarah five days after giving birth.

"She really is a fighter," Reyes wrote in the caption, which is also a reference to the baby's father, MMA fighter Ali Khatibi.

Reyes said the baby spent 10 days in the hospital, including six days in a neonatal intensive-care unit. Amarah was also on oxygen support for a day.

"Thank you mommies and preemie moms for the prayers," Reyes said.
