OPM Singer Dionela and Wife Meizy Mendoza Are Expecting Their First Baby
“Marilag” hitmaker Dionela has another reason to celebrate this 11.11, as he revealed that he and his wife Meizy Mendoza are expecting their first child.
The singer-songwriter shared the happy news in a Facebook post ahead of the release of his new single “Sarah,” a collaboration with JRoa (John Roa) that came out on November 11. According to Philippine Concerts, Dionela said he had prayed for God’s blessing over the song before its launch, and what followed felt like a confirmation from God in the most special way.
The timing makes the new song even more personal. “Sarah,” released under EMI Records Philippines, draws inspiration from Hebrews 11:11 and the biblical story of Sarah, who received the promise of bearing a child through faith despite years of waiting. The track also plays on the popular habit of making a wish at 11:11, turning it into a reminder of prayers that have already been answered.
For Dionela, the song’s message of faith, patience and answered prayers now mirrors a real chapter in his own life as he and Meizy prepare to welcome their little one. The single arrives fresh from his Asia tour.
The couple’s love story has been closely followed by fans. Dionela proposed to Meizy on stage during his “The Grace” concert in November 2025, and the two tied the knot in an intimate garden wedding in March 2026, as reported by GMA News. At the time, the singer playfully told fans to wait for his new music because they were just getting married.
Dionela is best known for hit songs such as “Marilag,” “Sining” and “Musika.” His wedding with Meizy was also covered by Philstar, which described her as his longtime non-showbiz girlfriend.
From a song about answered prayers to a baby on the way, Dionela’s 11.11 turned out to be a day he and Meizy will never forget.
