This is how Janella Salvador described Markus Paterson as a father.
ABS-CBN actress Janella Salvador speaks about co-parenting with Markus Paterson and here’s what she said about him.
Co-parenting is a situation where two parents share the responsibility of raising their child or children. In the Philippines, this is the usual situation between two former lovers. Celebrities like John Lloyd Cruz and Ellen Adarna do this for Elias and apart from them, former lovers Janella Salvador and Markus Paterson also have the same situation.
In a previous article, Markus spoke about what led to their separation, and according to him, it was when they returned to the Philippines after she gave birth that something changed in their relationship. The realities set in and more problems surfaced, resulting in frequent fights until they reached the point of not pursuing the relationship anymore.
For a magazine feature, Salvador was asked about the co-parenting setup with Markus and despite their separation, they remained on good terms. This is why the transition to the setup was smooth.
One thing she is most thankful about him is his desire to be really present in Jude’s life. She gives him the freedom to borrow their son. It is basically a healthy setup for them and it works because they have remained friends.
He borrows Jude often and she’s happy about it. She can attest to it as there will be instances where Jude would miss his dad. When it comes to disciplining, she leans more on making the rules. She doesn’t know what happens if he borrows their kid but she feels like they are on the same page since Jude maintains the same demeanor when returned to her.
When it comes to raising Jude, she balances the elements between gentle parenting and being firm.
