Vanessa Matsunaga makes fourth pregnancy extra special with intimate gender reveal
Brazilian-Japanese model Vanessa Matsunaga is making her fourth pregnancy even more memorable as she shared an intimate gender reveal celebration with her husband, Jun Sunga, and their loved ones.
On her Instagram page, Vanessa gave a glimpse of the special gathering, where family and friends joined in guessing the gender of their newest bundle of joy.
“With this being our fourth pregnancy, we wanted to do things a little differently. Instead of having everyone surprise us, we decided to share that moment privately, just the two of us, so that we could be the ones to surprise our children and the rest of our family,” Vanessa wrote.
The couple wanted to make the experience just as special for their children, who are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their newest sibling.
“As parents, we wanted to make this moment as memorable and meaningful as possible, especially for our kids. We wanted them to feel every bit of the excitement, anticipation, and joy of welcoming another little blessing into our family,” she added,
Vanessa also opened up about why this pregnancy holds a special place in their hearts, describing it as a celebration of faith and answered prayers.
“Because this pregnancy is extra special to us. One that carries so much love, hope, and gratitude. More than anything, this is a celebration of God’s goodness. Prayers answered. Promises kept. And a beautiful reminder of how faithfully the Lord continues to write our story,” she expressed.
Vanessa continued, “Through every season of our marriage, we’ve seen His hand at work. And as we continue to build this life and raise this family together, we are constantly reminded of just how blessed we are to be entrusted with these little lives.”
“Our hearts are full, our family is growing, and our love continues to find new reasons to grow with it. God’s timing. God’s promises. God’s beautiful plans. All glory and thanks to Him. Always. ♥️.
Vanessa is the sister of actor Daniel Matsunaga. She and Jun tied the knot in November 2010 at Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa in Marinduque.
In August this year, the couple announced that they were expecting their fourth child, sharing the exciting news with their three children: Isabella, David, and John Lucas.
“It still feels a little surreal saying that out loud, but here we are, growing our family again and feeling so incredibly excited to meet this little one,” she said.
The model has also been candid about her pregnancy journey, reflecting on the physical and emotional changes that come with carrying another life.
“Pregnancy is perhaps the most literal reminder of what it means to grow. To make room for someone you’ve never met but already love so deeply. To trust a process you can’t always control. To accept that while your body changes, your routine shifts, and your sense of normal evolves, something beautiful is unfolding beneath the surface,” she said.
“And maybe that is true for every kind of growth..we spend so much time of our lives looking forward to what’s next, the next chapter, the next milestone..the version of ourselves we are working so hard to become. We live in anticipation of the future, always hoping for something more. But I’m learning that hope isn’t just what carries us towards the future. It’s what allows us to find meaning in the present. The journey is life, too. Our family is growing , and with it, so many things I’m still learning to make room for,” she added.
She ended her reflection with a reminder about embracing the present while looking forward to the future.
“And if there’s one thing I want to remember, it’s this: we can look forward to what’s coming while still being grateful for what is. We can feel uncomfortable and still be exactly where we are meant to be. After all growth isn’t always about becoming someone new…sometimes is about learning to trust the person you are becoming.”
