Kapamilya Snaps: 10 celebrity mother-and-son tandems that we truly adore!

Mary Ann Bardinas

<p>We are arguably accustomed to the notion of sons taking after their fathers when it comes to the personalities and interests in life. However, we’ve also witnessed guys who are able to create a special bond with their moms – just like the celebrity mother-and-son tandems in this Kapamilya Snaps feature who never fail to delight us whenever we see them together!</p><div> </div><div><strong>Jodi Sta. Maria has <em>unico hijo </em>Thirdy as her ultimate travel buddy</strong></div><p>She may have been single for quite some time, but this doesn’t seem to be something that Jodi should be concerned nor sad about as she has Thirdy by her side through it all. Aside from being a constant life companion and her favorite person, he has also become her ultimate travel buddy as they’ve already gone to different places together here and abroad.</p><p>And as she turned 40 last June, Jodi tagged her beloved <em>unico hijo</em> along as they visited The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Hungary, and the United Arab Emirates.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Dimples Romana loves creating TikTok videos with son Alonzo</strong></div><p>Despite her hectic work schedule, Dimples makes sure to still spend quality time with her family, especially her adorable son Alonzo. Aside from simply doing her mommy duties, such as preparing his food and taking good care of him, Dimples also serves as his playmate sometimes as they create videos together on TikTok that never fail to capture our hearts!</p><div> </div><div><strong>Sarah Lahbati raises Zion and Kai into adventure junkies like her</strong></div><p>We can say that Sarah is certainly one of the coolest (and sexiest!) moms we know. Those who have been following her on social media would know how much she and husband <strong><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano" target="_blank"><em><u>FPJ’s And Probinsyano</u></em></a> </strong>actor Richard Gutierrez are certified adventure junkies – so are their sons Zion and Kai – as they love to do various activities and go to different places together.</p><p>From bonding through riding dirt bikes and the waves of the ocean, they recently delighted us when they went on a camping trip aboard their “rest house on wheels” – as how the actress-model put it.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Sylvia Sanchez has passed on her acting and cooking skills to Arjo Atayde</strong></div><p>We all know how talented and versatile actors Sylvia and her son Arjo are. But aside from the award-winning acting prowess, she’s apparently also able to pass on to him her being a kitchen whiz as the actor-turned-politician also knows how to cook!</p><p>Based on the Instagram posts of Sylvia, family meals are truly important to the Atayde household, so it’s always a special treat whenever Sylvia or Arjo cooks! In one instance, she praised and thanked him for being able to prepare kimchi soup and pepper steak for them.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Jolina Magdangal and firstborn Pele usually spend time together in the kitchen</strong></div><p>Like Sylvia, Jolina has also trained her firstborn Pele in the kitchen. At only eight years old, the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/magandangbuhay" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>Magandang Buhay</u></strong></em></a> momshie-host has already let her son not just to help her, but to cook different dishes, too! In one of her social media posts last year, she shared photos of Pele preparing buttered mushroom and corn for dinner.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Denise Laurel considers son Alejandro as her bestie</strong></div><p>Since there’s just the two of them in each other’s life ever since she gave birth to him around a decade ago, Denise has indeed formed a tight bond with her beloved “little giant” – her <em>unico hijo</em> Alejandro – who she considers as her <em>barkada.</em></p><p>And just like what any besties do, they love to do a lot of things together – from eating their favorite food, hanging out, going to different places, and working out, to wearing coordinating outfits. Early this year, the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/foe2022" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>Flower Of Evil</u></strong></em></a> star launched their podcast titled Vitamin D, in which they share the most important part of their morning routine, which is to “spend time with God together while getting to know each other on a different love level!!!”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Cherry Pie Picache is <em>unico</em> <em>hijo</em> Nio Tria’s biggest cheerleader</strong></div><p>Just in case you aren’t aware yet, Cherry Pie’s <em>unico hijo </em>Nio Tria, who has also tried his hand in showbiz as well by joining <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/squadplus" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>The Squad Plus</u></strong></em></a>, is known as a young star in the local tennis scene.</p><p>However, aside from being her beloved son’s biggest cheerleader, the veteran actress also has her athletic facet as she knows how to play tennis and even volleyball.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Vilma Santos-Recto enjoys vlogging with son Luis Manzano</strong></div><p>Ever since Luis was born four decades ago, we have already how Vilma adores her son so much, as she never forgot to utter “I love you, Lucky” every time she appears on TV. We didn’t really get to see them together in one screen that much, except when they make a special appearance on each other’s programs to celebrate an occasion or milestone and when they starred in the 2009 film “In My Life.”</p><p>As the actress-turned-politician is seen less on-screen, they now enjoy making videos together that they upload on each other’s YouTube channel.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Nanay Rosario is indeed blessed to have Vice Ganda as her child</strong></div><p>Those who have been following his journey would know devoted Vice Ganda is to his beloved Nanay Rosario. As his career continues to skyrocket, he didn’t leave her and their whole family as the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime" target="_blank"><em><u><strong>It’s Showtime</strong></u></em></a> host makes sure to give them a comfortable life – from giving her a house and a makeover.</p><p>We may not see much of Nanay Rosario on his social media pages and other media appearances, but the Unkabogable Star includes her in some of his vlogs.</p><p>These celebrities are proof that mothers and their sons can also have their own special bond!</p>
