Gee Canlas opens up being a single parent on her 'REBIRTHday'

Gee Canlas opens up being a single parent on her 'REBIRTHday'

Gee Canlas opened up about a new chapter in her life--being a single parent to her son Caleb. Gee is the wife of actor-comedian Archie Alemania. They go married in October 2018 at The Monochrome events place in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. A few months later, Gee then gave birth to her son in April 2019. In her Instagram post last February 5, Gee celebrated her "REBIRTHday" with a photo shoot on the beach. On the caption of her series of Instgram photos, the celebrity mom confessed that she went through a lot this past year. “This past year was rough. No need for specifics — some things are meant to be processed alone. But I lost parts of myself, held on longer than I should have, and learned the hard way what it costs to keep showing up while quietly disappearing," Gee shared to her fans and followers. She continued, “Shooting this felt freeing. I remember looking up, seeing the sky, hearing the river, and feeling incredibly grateful. It reminded me to come back into my body, my breath, my own space — to remember who I am when I'm not shrinking, explaining, or carrying more than what's mine.” In the same lengthy post, Gee revealed that she is now a single mom to Caleb Archer. “I'm choosing to love myself with the same consistency and effort I give others, and I'm no longer making myself smaller for anyone. I want to show up more. For myself, for Caleb, for the people I love, and for the work that's always felt like home to me. That's the only way I can be fully me as a daughter, sister, a friend, a woman… as a solo parent. “Still figuring things out. Still healing. But rooted again. Here's to rediscovering what was never really lost. My Gazelle-ness. My Gee-ness. Happy REBIRTHday to me.” erlin.olan (IG) & geecanlas (IG) Gee, however, did not give details about the status of her relationship with her husband, Archie.
