"Thank you for all your beautiful messages, I am reading them all and little by little I will answer them. We are so happy," she wrote in Spanish. 

His nerves as a new dad

Days before the birth of his baby, José Eduardo visited Hoy (Las Estrellas), where he opened up about the emotions he's been experiencing. Sincere, the son of Eugenio and Victoria Ruffo, revealed that his nerves were taking over him. “A lot of nerves. My eye vibrates, and then my lip vibrates. I'm not sleeping, I fall asleep very late thinking about a thousand things or in the early morning I start doing things in the room. It's a tasty stress, also a lot of emotion. A lot of happiness and we are both very happy,” he said.

The actor said that his mother was also very excited since Tessa is her first grandchild. “My mother is happy, excited, I have never seen her so happy, that gives me great pleasure,” he continued. While it's the first time Victoria is a grandma, Eugenio has two grandchildren, his first granddaughter was Kailani, the daughter of Aislinn and Mauricio Ochmann.
