A new sense of purpose and joy have surged through Meralco Bolts’ Cliff Hodge and wife Bea as they welcome their baby girl, Rooney Mei.
After six long years of hope and perseverance, this miracle has electrified their lives.
Just as the Bolts celebrated their historic first-ever PBA championship in June, Cliff and Bea joyfully announced their long-awaited pregnancy—just in time for Father’s Day.
What a trophy it is!
On Monday, Rooney Mei made her grand entrance, weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces and measuring 19 inches. Bea shared a heartwarming selfie of their little family on Instagram after her birth.
The 36-year-old basketball veteran expressed his gratitude in a touching post.
“6yrs of trying everything possible to have you, and right when we were about to give up, you unexpectedly came. God’s timing is always perfect,” he wrote.
Cliff, a seasoned player, recognized his wife as the true MVP.
“First and foremost, after experiencing my wife’s scheduled c-section shout-out to all the mothers in the world, you are all the real MVPs. To my incredible wife, you are my everything, and I didn’t think there could be anything to bring us even closer together, but this amazing experience proved me wrong. @beayhodge, you're a beast for carrying Rooney for 9 months and getting through labor like a walk in the park.”
Filled with gratitude, Cliff looks forward to this new chapter.
“I’m so excited for this next chapter in our lives because I know we will be awesome parents together. I love you and Rooney wayyy more than you guys will ever know.”
As they embrace this new life with Rooney, the Hodge family shines brighter than ever!
