<p>After officially entering fatherhood last June with the arrival of his first child Rocio, award-winning actor Cedrick Juan got contemplative as he shares the importance of not just focusing on raising a baby, but also taking care of his relationship with his wife, actress Kate Alejandrino. The couple tied the knot in a dreamy garden wedding last February after a short engagement. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-13" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOQKBEok17-/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A13%2C%22os%22%3A6041107.899999999%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-13" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-14" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DM-cinHSMqq/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A14%2C%22os%22%3A6042494.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="924" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-14" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>In his post earlier this month, Cedrick posted photos from their short out-of-town family getaway at a coastal town in Zambales. He wrote, &quot;Parenting taught us differently. Sabi nila kapag nagka-anak ka na sila na ang sentro ng buhay mo, totoo naman, pero palagi nating reminder sa isa’t-isa na tayong dalawa pa din ang core ng pamilyang ito. Dahil habang lumalaki si Weeyow (nickname ni Rocio) at nakikita niya kung paano din natin pinapahalagahan at minamahal ang isa’t-isa ay doon din niya matutunan kung paano pahalagan ang pamilya at para ganoon din ang gagawin niya kapag panahon na niyang bumuo ng sariling kanya.”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-9" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMXtH5LySST/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A9%2C%22os%22%3A6013085%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="921" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-9" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/7/21/kate-alejandrino-shares-struggle-with-low-breastmilk-supply-i-couldn-t-feed-my-baby-1618"><strong>READ: Kate Alejandrino shares struggle with low breastmilk supply: ‘I couldn’t feed my baby’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>The award-winning Metro Manila Film Festival 2023 Best Actor also stressed the importance of nurturing his relationship with his spouse despite their busy schedules.</p><p>“Masaya akong maisingit sa busy nating schedule as parents at aktor ang bakasyong ito, dahil kailangan natin din ng pahinga.

She wrote, “The culprit: I was not getting enough sleep &amp; proper nutrition because I was trying to do everything by myself. Cooking, cleaning &amp; feeding my baby because I thought I could &amp; should do it by myself. I refused to ask for help because I simply didn’t want to feel like a burden to my husband or our families. I’ve been independent most of my life, why should this time be any different? I was being stubborn as even when my mom, my Ate, Cedrick’s sisters and other family members were telling me that the first few months were crucial &amp; that all I needed to focus on was REST &amp; bonding with my baby.”</p>
