It was the most painful thing that I&#x27;ve been through in my whole life,” Coleen shared.</p><p>The celebrity mom also stated that looking after her son during the time of lockdown and strict restrictions has affected her ways.</p><p>“I always thought na kapag nagkaanak ako, I would be the type na palagi ko siyang iikot everywhere...

It’s not immediate na switch na, ‘Oh my gosh Nanay ako. Oh my gosh, the most beautiful thing ever’. Hindi eh. It was a progression for me,” she stated.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzdG6KhxhJJ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A463334.90000003576%2C%22ls%22%3A462720.60000002384%2C%22le%22%3A463157.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Coleen added, “The more time I spent with him, the more I felt innovative, even until ngayon… Every day I still feel more and more in love with him.”</p><p>“We feel like we’re giving everything talaga, like a piece of our soul, kaya kung pwede ko ibigay lahat, ibibigay ko pero I learned also na kailangan mo talaga na magtira para sa sarili mo especially when you’re married,” she continued.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/5/7/coleen-garcia-calls-out-beauty-standard-online-2140"><strong>READ: Coleen Garcia calls out beauty standard online: &#x27;No one should ever have to feel like they need to put on a mask just to be accepted&#x27; <br/></strong></a></div><p>Speaking of her marriage, Coleen also admitted that she was not aware of the rumors questioning her and her husband Billy Crawford’s current marriage status.</p><p>“I try to become more active on social media because it has become an extension of my job. Like a lot of the work I get nowadays is from social media talaga. So I try to be active but at the same time like we&#x27;re going through a major transitional phase in our life…. So siguro kasi hindi kami nagpaparamdam online. Yun ba yun? Maybe,” she said.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5-GSrsR4B6/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A463348.3000000119%2C%22ls%22%3A462720.60000002384%2C%22le%22%3A463157.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“Because we are doing all of these sacrifices kasi he has worked abroad.
