She may have only been in the industry since 2021, yet Kaila Estrada has already garnered commendations and recognitions for her compelling performances in every teleserye and movie that she has done. And this is apparently not surprising anymore, knowing that she’s one of the beautiful and talented children of seasoned thespians Janice de Belen and John Estrada.Although we have not seen or will never see the three of them together since Janice and John have been separated for more than two decades now, some of the photos and videos that Kaila and her siblings share on social media suggest that they’re able to maintain their closeness with both their parents, especially with their mom, who raised them single-handedly. Despite John already having a new family, Kaila and her sisters, Inah and Moira, and brother Yuan, have remained close to him and still get to bond with him, especially during special occasions.As Kaila follows her parents’ footsteps in the local entertainment scene, she shared in an interview with PUSH in 2022 what they thought of her acting onscreen. She related, “Yong parents ko, I’m just really happy that they’re proud of me and that they watch the work that I do. They don’t watch it na magkakasama kami kasi hindi ko kaya, pero I’m just really glad that they’re very supportive. I think it’s my dad that gives the most feedback. Si Mama hindi siya masyado nagsasalita kasi she doesn’t want me to worry about what she has to say. But my dad is super happy…”In another interview with Bernadette Sembrano for an episode of “Tao Po” in 2023, <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kaila-estrada-shares-love-advice-she-got-from-mom-janice-de-belen-21122" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kaila further opened up about her relationship with her parents growing up</a>. Albeit their separation, she imparted that John and Janice never lacked in making her and her siblings feel loved, as well as in giving them a good life.The fast-rising actress disclosed that, contrary to the affectionate mother roles that she’d portrayed in the decades that she has been in showbiz, Janice is actually not the “cuddling type of mom,” which benefitted her and her siblings since they all grew up independent. John, on the other hand, is a strict yet fun-to-be-with dad.Apart from the motherly guidance and career tips that her mom has imparted to her, Kaila seems to have also acquired the cooking skills of her mom, which she was able to showcase during that interview. Besides, she has also given her pieces of love advice, which include the importance of self-worth and self-love. Janice told her, “Lagi niyang sinasabi, you have to put yourself first, and you really have to love yourself first kasi walang ibang gagawa no’n eh. Sarili mo lang talaga. It’s important to create a healthy relationship with yourself in order to have healthier relationships with other people.”Kaila also clarified in an exclusive interview with Bernadette for the latter’s vlog in 2023 that they have “such a good relationship” with John. She conveyed, &quot;Okay talaga kami. We are happy, and I feel like kasi whatever happened in the past, though it caused us a fair amount of pain, it really was for the best.&quot;“Parang &#x27;yung relationship namin ngayon kasi, ito &#x27;yung hinahanap namin noon pa. So, I&#x27;m glad na we&#x27;re at this point in our lives already, na okay talaga kaming lahat. And it really, truly is a blessing. So, thank you, kasi you really made an effort din to become close to us,” she said when asked for a message for John.Both Janice and John have expressed their pride for their beloved daughter, especially for the recognitions and praises that she’s been reaping for the great job she’s been doing as an actress.Go through this gallery to see some of Kaila’s precious moments with her beloved superstar parents as captured in photos!
