Fans could already tell there must be something special about her, considering a newcomer was chosen for the role of Grace out of all those who auditioned. And as soon as the series aired, the whole nation fell in love with her divine dramatic talent.</p><p>Turns out, she’s just as lovable off-cam. She’s adored by her co-stars, even though most of them play characters who make her life miserable onscreen. We did a little digging online and found the most wholesome photos and videos of Zia bonding with her &#x27;Saving Grace&#x27; fam! </p><p>One of Zia&#x27;s biggest fans off-screen is none other than her teleserye &#x27;mom,&#x27; Julia Montes. The two love to play-act as mother and daughter even when the cameras aren&#x27;t rolling. They share such a sweet bond that Julia was caught giving Zia a playful kiss on the cheek in one photo.</p><div style="text-align:left"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1744030365144Pic 1 Zia Julia.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:500px"/> Julia just can&#x27;t resist hugging her young co-star as well. We bet Zia’s hugs are like a warm, cozy blanket that makes you feel all kinds of good.</div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1744030383125Pic 2 Zia Julia.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:500px"/></div><p>Fans are certainly infuriated watching Christian Bables’ character, Chito, give Grace a hard time in the series. So, we find it so cute that these two are actually like the best of pals off-camera!</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1744030397845Zia Christian Pic 3.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:500px"/></div><p>When they’re done with their scenes, Zia and Christian often team up for fun TikTok collabs that will leave you with overflowing good vibes. </p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fwatch%2F%3Fv%3D1772531340175144&amp;width=500&amp;show_text=true&amp;height=978&amp;appId" width="500" height="978" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The same goes with Jennica Garcia. In the series, her character, Sarah, is all about hiding evidence of her abusive ways toward Grace, but on social media, we&#x27;ve seen pieces of evidence of her affection and tenderness toward the child star.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17440743679071744074365012.jpeg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p> It’s no surprise though, because fans know Jennica has a huge heart for her own young daughters. So, it makes sense that she’d bring that same motherly warmth to Zia.</p><p>Although Zia doesn’t have that many scenes with Majoy Apostol and Aya Fernandez, sometimes she just can’t help but fangirl a little when her co-stars are around.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1744030415423pic 5 zia.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:500px"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17440744064281744074404976.jpeg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>It&#x27;s that playful vibe that makes her so easy to love! When she’s not fangirling over her co-stars, Zia channels all that energy into making TikTok videos.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fwatch%2F%3Fv%3D3956211517951791%26amp%253Bvanity%3DRedShock.moto%26nbsp%253B%26_rdc%3D1%26_rdr%23&amp;width=500&amp;show_text=true&amp;height=1003&amp;appId" width="500" height="1003" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Catch this little ball of sunshine on “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/savinggrace"><strong><u><em>Saving Grace: The Untold Story</em></u></strong></a>,” weeknights, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), TV5, and A2Z. </p><div><em><sub>*Photos credit to Zia Bataan, Christian Bables and Majoy Apostol FB</sub></em></div>
