Kaila Estrada Opens Up About Her Parents’ Separation
KAILA ESTRADA – Kapamilya actress Kaila Estrada gets candid about her parents’ separation, sharing how she navigated the challenges with resilience, family support, and open communication.
Growing up with famous parents presents its own challenges, and for Kaila Estrada—daughter of renowned celebrities Janice de Belen and John Estrada—being in the spotlight meant constantly facing public scrutiny. However, she has successfully stepped out of their shadow and built her own career in showbiz.
Currently making waves in ABS-CBN’s action series Incognito as hacker Max Alvero, Kaila continues to prove that she is more than just the child of celebrity parents. In a candid interview with columnist Dolly Anne Carvajal, she opened up about the struggles of forging her own identity in the industry. While she appreciates being recognized as their daughter, she takes even greater pride when people acknowledge her for her own work.
One of the most personal topics Kaila discussed was her parents’ separation. She revealed that having her siblings by her side played a crucial role in helping her navigate the emotional challenges. Their shared experience allowed them to support one another, making the difficult transition easier. Additionally, she emphasized the importance of open communication, which helped her process the situation and maintain strong family ties.
“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,” she shared.
Kaila also reflected on valuable advice she received from her mother, Janice de Belen, about love and relationships. The most important lesson? “Always choose yourself.” This simple yet meaningful guidance has shaped Kaila’s outlook on self-worth and emotional well-being in relationships.
Despite her strong and independent nature, Kaila admitted that her quiet demeanor sometimes leads people to perceive her as aloof. However, she clarified that she is simply reserved in certain situations.
When it comes to love, Kaila knows what she’s looking for. She values a partner who supports her career, makes an effort to build a relationship with her family, and is God-fearing. With her talent, determination, and grounded perspective, Kaila Estrada continues to make a name for herself—on her own terms.
