With Judy Ann Santos's recent appeal to the public and the press to respect Sarah Geronimo and Matteo Guidecielli’s privacy, the Pop Star Princess is nothing but grateful to her ate Juday. 'Napaka-blessed ko at napakaswerte to have her as a friend di ba? So malaking malaking pasalamat ko sa kanya at mahal na mahal ko si ate Judy.'

Sarah remarked that Judy Ann truly serves as an inspiration to her, especially in this current chapter of her life. 'Siyempre ang ate ko talagang napakataas ng respeto ko sa kanya at malaki ang inspirasyon na ibinibigay niya sa akin as an actress, as a celebrity and a public figure, kung paano siya naging ihemplo sa aming mga young adults,' she said.

Amid the many comments on the recent photo that surfaced online that showed her with Matteo together with Judy Ann and husband Ryan Agoncillo, Sarah stressed that she is just trying to live a normal life and there should not be an issue.

“Ayon nga siyempre iba-iba naman ang opinyon ng mga tao on how they would take it di ba? Merong iba na parang hindi ko alam… pero they are just being… We're living our normal lives and ‘yun naman po ‘yun as long as wala tayong inaapakan na tao, walang dapat itago,' Sarah said.

When asked about her ate Judy’s advice to her on love, Sarah shared, “[Sabi niya] balansehen ang mga bagay-bagay, importane unang-una ang Diyos, ang pamilya, mga kaibigan at ‘yung special someone di ba? Parang kailangan mo balansehen ‘yung mga bagay.”

Judy Ann came into Sarah’s defense recently amid the ongoing rumors between Sarah’s blossoming romance with Matteo. “Kung someday ano man ang mangyari sa kanilang dalawa, eh di let them be. They deserve it at huwag masyadong i-pressure kasi kapag may pressure mas lalong walang nagiging magandang bunga. Kung paano 'yung respeto ng mga tao sa amin nila Ryan before, hintayin natin. Matatanda na naman sila. I'm sure time will come sila mismo sasabihin nila ang dapat sabihin,” Judy Ann said.
