According to de Belen, she and Meirelles maintain a civil relationship when they are shooting scenes together. In a separate interview, Meirelles said they were "very civil" to each other, but they cannot be "best friends" because of their situation.

"Let's say we wanted to become friends. Anong pag-uusapan namin? Parang ang weird naman kasi? Kumusta na asawa mo?" de Belen said.
