MICHELLE Madrigal and her mom shared for the first time how they reunited after years of estrangement, starting when the actress left their home at the age of 16.
In her latest vlog, the 32-year-old Madrigal opened up about her relationship with her mother, former actress Karla Kalua.
The two answered a question from a follower, about how they mended ties, prompting them to recall that they started to communicate again “five years ago.”
At the time, Madrigal was pregnant with her first child.
“I had a very sensitive first-month nu’ng pregnancy ko. Talagang bed rest lang,” Madrigal recalled.
Kalua said “that was the time I was really trying my best to [make up] for lost time.”
Challenges within their family served to strengthen their bond.
Recounting that Madrigal’s father fell ill at one point, Kalua told her daughter, “Parang doon tayo lalong naging close.”
“We realized a lot of things. Life is really short, you know?” she added.
Madrigal agreed, saying: “Time heals all wounds talaga. Hindi talaga pwedeng i-force, in any situation, time talaga. Mangyayari nalang naturally.”
