Diego proud of his baby

CONTRARY to what others think, Diego Loyzaga is not hiding her child from the public. He is very proud in fact to be a first – time father.

On marrying girlfriend/ model Alexis, Diego admits he doesn’t believe in marriage. ” It is just a piece of paper. When something goes wrong it is hard to get an annulment. We are happy with our present set-up.”
