Among those who congratulated the couple early were fellow actors Iza Calzado and Rodjun Cruz, as well as Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco.
For a majority of the pregnancy which she announced last July, Yasmine was on bed rest as premature contractions put her at high risk.
Alfred and Yasmine first had a civil wedding in 2010 then a church wedding seven years later; they are parents to Alexandra Milan, Aryana Cassandra, and Alfredo Cristiano.
The actor, currently a councilor in Quezon City's 5th district, was last seen on the GMA show "AraBella" and stars alongside Nora Aunor in "Pieta."
