MANILA - Cristine Reyes and the father of her first child, mixed martial arts fighter Ali Khatibi, are now undergoing marriage counseling, according to the actress.

Reyes, 25, ended months of speculation on Sunday when she announced on the concert variety show "ASAP" that she is expecting a baby. Only hours later on "The Buzz," Reyes said in a live interview that her first three months had been critical.

She stressed that she never denied nor attempted to hide her pregnancy, explaining she had been advised to have bed rest due to her condition during her first trimester.

According to Reyes, she and Khatibi planned the pregnancy and were, in fact, dismayed when the results of the test initially showed negative. "Nung gabi nag-test ulit kami, positive na. After that, ang inuna namin 'yung family namin. They were happy and excited," she said.

The Filipino-Iranian Khatibi, 31, is reportedly a fighter in the Universal Reality Combat Championship, a mixed martial arts league in the country. He is said to specialize in Brazilian jiu jitsui. Also a model, Khatibi appeared in the pages of Cosmopolitan Philippines' "Bachelors" issue in 2013.

Reyes, who attends the same Christian church as Khatibi, said they agreed to take up marriage counseling "in preparation for the marriage and para meron kaming heads up."

"Hindi lahat kailangan biglang ikakasal na agad. Kailangan meron kang knowledge about it, kailangan prepared," said Reyes, who has become increasingly open about Khatibi on her social media accounts.
