Nadia Montenegro put an finish to the controversy hounding her and Baron Geisler about their grown-up daughter, Sophia, when she was interviewed by Tito Boy Abunda on GMA 7’s “Quick Speak.”
As a mother, I get Nadia’s drift. Since Baron and Sophia have been estranged for years, it’s comprehensible why Nadia isn’t too eager about Baron coming into the image now. Each Nadia and Baron are my associates, so I hope that they’ll restore their friendship sometime. Après tout, Sophia is proof that they have been a part of one another’s journey.
Out of curiosity, I considered asking Jamie, Baron’s ever-supportive spouse and mother of their child woman, Tali, for her ideas on the problem. Identical to once I interviewed her about Baron’s sobriety journey, the charming Cebuana let her coronary heart do the speaking.
Right here’s my chat with Jamie:
When did Baron let you know about his daughter?
In 2018, once we have been nonetheless courting. I used to be a bit shocked once I came upon that Nadia’s the mother as a result of I used to be nonetheless naive about present biz stuff. I used to be glad that he opened as much as me. After I noticed Sophia’s photograph, I mentioned in jest, “No want for a DNA take a look at.”
How is Baron coping with the controversy?
I feel he was a bit confused about Nadia’s response since he didn’t disclose something in public. He was caught off guard in the course of the interview with Ogie Diaz, however no names or pictures have been proven. I advised him that he has proven maturity by not retaliating and selecting his peace.
What’s your recommendation to Baron in regards to the scenario?
When Sophia messaged him and agreed to fulfill final 12 months, I advised him to simply chill out, not get too excited, and preserve it personal. He’s been eager for that assembly. He admits that he blew the possibility to be a father to her previously, so he was wanting ahead to having a relationship along with his daughter. He’s grateful that Sophia was raised effectively.
What’s your message to Nadia and the way would you persuade her that Baron is a modified man?
Being a mother myself, I perceive that she is worried about her daughter’s welfare. Because the cat is out of the bag, which they are saying is an open secret, I suppose the individuals concerned can forgive one another and discuss peacefully in personal. It’s not my job to persuade folks that Baron’s a modified man.
He has to do the work to be a greater particular person and let his conduct do the speaking. I give him credit score although as a result of I see plenty of enchancment in him. As his spouse, I’m right here to encourage him. Lastly, Sophia is a brilliant, lovely younger woman. Let’s spare her the drama, respect her choice and life selections. I pray that all the pieces will fall into place peacefully in God’s good time.

Kobe and Kyline on the GMA Gala
On the ritzy GMA Gala, Kobe Paras was Kyline Alcantara’s date. When he was requested to outline their relationship, the hardcourt heartthrob mentioned that he and Kyline are simply nice associates. That feels like a “present biz reply” to me. So I cornered Kobe’s dad, my cool good friend Benjie, for the actual rating. PBA’s “Tower of Energy” (Benjie’s moniker) can also be an MVP off the courtroom—”Most Invaluable Papa” to Kobe.
Right here’s what Benjie shared:
We’re residing in a present biz world however I do know Kobe. At any time when he’s in a relationship, he’s severe about it and doesn’t idiot round. That’s what I all the time inform him, to all the time be in love everytime you’re in a relationship. If it doesn’t work out, you then’ll be brokenhearted, however it’ll heal and make you stronger.
Boto ako whoever he’s with. That’s his life, not mine. No matter works for them and makes them glad, then I’m glad too.
As for his basketball profession, he’s taking a break and I don’t know when he will probably be enjoying once more however Kobe’s retaining himself in form.
