When asked about when she plans to become a mother, Alexa simply shared when the time is right as she doesn’t want to conform to the standards set by society. She assured all women that being a mother or not is only a choice they shouldn’t be shamed for whatever their choice may be.

“It’s okay kung iba ang choice mo sa life. I don't think that makes you less of a woman if you choose not to [not be a mother]. If you choose to live your life in a different way or path, that’s totally fine but if you do choose to take care of a kid, kayang kaya. As long as you choose to love everyday,” she ended.
