In his interview with the press, the celebrity dad expressed how fatherhood has brought him newfound happiness and inspiration.

In a separate interview with GMA News reporter Nelson Canlas, he described his child, whom he revealed is named Korben, as his “greatest source of inspiration.”
Explaining the unique name choice, Tom revealed that Korben’s name carries a deep meaning as it was inspired by the biblical covenant between David and the Lord.
“It’s David’s covenant with the Lord with his broken soul… so Korben is an anagram for ‘broken,’” he explained.
Just days earlier, Tom had sparked speculation among fans when he shared sketches of a dimpled baby boy on his Instagram Stories.
The announcement also comes a few months after he revealed he was dating again, following his divorce from actress Carla Abellana in 2022.
