Kylie Padilla Gets Candid About Her Special Connection with Mariel Padilla
KYLIE PADILLA – Actress Kylie Padilla shared that she turns to Mariel Padilla for support whenever she faces personal struggles.
Kylie Padilla recently shared details about her bond with her stepmother, Mariel Padilla, revealing a relationship grounded in trust and emotional support.
Kylie admitted to having some concerns about her upcoming GMA Afternoon Prime series My Father’s Wife, especially because of its sensitive storyline. The show centers around broken friendships and betrayal, themes that hit close to home for many. This prompted Kylie to worry about how the audience might interpret her role in connection to her personal life.
“Actually, I was worried about that. Ayoko siyempreng i-associate ng mga tao sa kanya, ‘di ba?” Kylie explained, referring to her stepmother, Mariel. She clarified that contrary to what people might assume based on the show’s theme, their real-life relationship is far from strained.
In fact, Kylie revealed that she has formed a close bond with Mariel, often turning to her in times of need. “Sumbungan ko siya. Sa kanya ‘ko nagsusumbong when I have a problem. Kasi, ayokong magdagdagan ‘yung problem ng dad ko, so kay tita Mariel na ‘ko dumidiresto. Almost everything na kailangan ko ng tulong, I ask her,” Kylie shared sincerely.
This openness paints a heartwarming picture of the support system Kylie has found in her stepmother. Instead of the tension often associated with step-parent dynamics, Kylie and Mariel seem to have built a relationship rooted in mutual respect and concern for their shared family.
Despite the emotionally heavy themes of her new series, Kylie wants to assure the public that the fiction on-screen does not reflect the harmony in her personal life. Her statement serves as a gentle reminder not to blur the lines between an actor’s role and reality.
As Kylie embarks on her latest project, it’s clear that she draws strength from the people she trusts most—especially from someone she now calls more than just her stepmom, but a true confidante.
