<p>Andi Eigenmann opened up about her co-parenting journey with former partner Jake Ejercito as they raise their daughter, Ellie Ejercito.</p><p>In an interview with Karen Davila in her latest YouTube vlog, Andi shared that she and Jake have maintained a good co-parenting relationship.</p><p>&quot;We&#x27;re okay. We&#x27;re not really like other parents or co-parents that you see our relationship on social media, but we really have a good co-parenting relationship, I would say. And I am so grateful to have him as my partner in raising Ellie,&quot; she remarked. </p><p>Andi acknowledged, however, that they have entered a particularly challenging stage of parenthood now that Ellie is a teenager.</p><p>&quot;We are at the extreme difficult level. You know, we have a teenager. Ellie is turning 15 this year, and she&#x27;s going on to Grade 9. So, we are being faced with more difficult challenge. I mean, I think every teenagers&#x27; parent can relate, so I feel like us really getting along and seeing eye to eye is more inevitable at this stage more than ever,&quot; she relayed.<br/><br/></p><div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DC5u05uycjm/?img_index=1"></a></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DC5u05uycjm/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=840&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A1504683.800000012%2C%22ls%22%3A104122.40000003576%2C%22le%22%3A104124.60000002384%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="862" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>When asked how she and Jake learned to forgive each other and eventually became on good terms, Andi said their love for Ellie made the process easier.</p><p>&quot;Madali if it&#x27;s for the love of your child. We love Ellie so much. And when we were still together, he knows how badly [we] wanted to be this specific type of parent, and he hears me. And I guess it comes from that. Just really holding on to what we know of each other. What kind of parent we wanted to be,&quot; she stated.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/9/28/andi-eigenmann-gives-a-tour-of-family-s-dream-house-in-siargao-as-it-nears-completion-1649" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Andi Eigenmann gives a tour of family’s dream house in Siargao as it nears completion</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>The actress went on: &quot;Sadly, we didn&#x27;t end up together but it doesn&#x27;t mean that the willingness to want to be that parent to Ellie [isn&#x27;t] still there. It is still there, so we support each other in that way I guess even though we don&#x27;t talk about it.&quot;</p><p>Ellie celebrated her 14th birthday last November 2025.</p>
