KAILA ESTRADA – Actress Kaila Estrada bravely navigated the challenges of her parents’ separation, finding strength and resilience along the way—here’s how she coped with the emotional journey.
Having famous parents comes with its own set of challenges. For Kaila Estrada, the daughter of well-known celebrities Janice de Belen and John Estrada, growing up in the limelight meant constantly being under scrutiny.
Despite this, Kaila has successfully carved out her own path in the entertainment industry. Currently shining in ABS-CBN’s action series Incognito, where she plays the role of hacker Max Alvero, Kaila is proving she is more than just the child of her famous parents.
In an interview with columnist Dolly Anne Carvajal, Kaila openly discussed the challenges of stepping out of her parents’ shadow. She acknowledged that while she doesn’t mind being recognized as their daughter, it brings her great joy when people appreciate her for the roles she has portrayed. This perspective showcases her determination to establish her own identity in showbiz.
One of the most personal topics Kaila touched on was her parents’ separation. The actress revealed that having her siblings by her side was a crucial factor in coping with the situation. Sharing the same experience allowed them to support one another, making the difficult process more bearable. Additionally, Kaila emphasized the importance of open communication, which helped her gain a better understanding of the circumstances and maintain healthy relationships within the family.
“Having my siblings is a really big factor because we had each other to lean on as we were going through the same experience. And also open communication for better understanding from all sides is another big factor.”
Kaila also shared some wisdom she received from her mother, Janice de Belen, regarding love and relationships. The best advice her mom gave her was to “always choose yourself.” This simple yet profound guidance serves as a reminder for Kaila to prioritize self-worth and emotional well-being in any relationship.
Despite her strong and independent nature, Kaila admitted that people sometimes mistake her for being aloof because of her quiet demeanor. However, she clarified that this is not the case, as she is simply reserved in certain situations.
When asked about what it takes for a man to win her heart, Kaila listed several qualities. Above all, she values a partner who supports her career, makes an effort to build a relationship with her family, and is God-fearing.
