They just become clearer versions of who they really are.’ I think motherhood just amplified who and what I already was, and the traits that I already had. I have to say that, as a person and as an actress, I do feel like I have become more patient, more understanding, and more calm,” she said.</p><p>“The most wonderful thing about being a mother that was completely unexpected for me was that it made me appreciate life and time even more. I feel like time is moving so fast,” she also said. “My daughter’s first birthday is on the 18th of April. I can’t believe it has been almost a year since I gave birth to her. I’m very grateful to Ryan, my husband, that I can be a stay-at-home mom so I’m able to watch our daughter grow.”</p><p>Dionne is set to make her acting comeback in the historic series <em>Unbreak My Heart</em>, which stars Jodi Sta. Maria, Richard Yap, Joshua Garcia, and Gabbi Garcia.</p>
