In a heartfelt statement, Ruiz expressed her excitement about MacGregor’s arrival, saying, “MacGregor Wellington Pisanchyn was born… and completes our family in the sweetest way.” She revealed that the name has significant meaning for Philip, who had cherished it long before meeting Ruiz. “His name is one my husband carried in his heart… which makes it feel all the more special now that it belongs to our son,” she added.
With three children now under their care, the couple conveyed their hopes and aspirations for their little ones. Ruiz stated, “Each of our three children came into this world with a birth story uniquely their own, and MacGregor was no exception.” As they settle into life as a family of five, both parents expressed their desire for their children to grow up with strength of character and compassion for others. “We are grateful to God for all that he has given us and so happy to finally introduce the little man who completes our family,” she reflected.
This joyous news comes not long after the couple welcomed their second daughter, Vivienne, in January 2024. They introduced her to the world on Valentine’s Day, sharing the news with enthusiasm. Ruiz highlighted the warmth and affection surrounding Vivienne, noting, “Born on 23rd January 2024, Vivi is well loved by her big sister Mercedes, and all of her family.” The couple chose Vivienne’s name with care, while also honouring heritage; her middle name, Zocha, is a tribute to Ruiz’s great-great-grandmother and means ‘wisdom’ in Polish.

Ruiz expressed how important sisterhood has been in her life, referring fondly to her sister as a lifelong confidante and companion, even mentioning that she still borrows her clothes.
