Franco, who has starred in a number of theater plays, said in an interview with Pep back in October that he and Ayen were surprised to have another child since they were not trying to have one. But they are overjoyed to have Lucia.
"Napakasaya namin na magkakaroon ulit kami ng isa pang baby at babae (We're very happy because we're having another baby girl). Her name is Lucia. Lucia means light."
Ayen was last seen on the show Ikaw Lang ang Iibigin starring Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson. – Rappler.com
