CIARA Sotto admitted that her son was also affected when she split up with her Filipino-American boyfriend, Ian Austin.
In an interview on Magandng Buhay on Monday, Sotto said her son Crixus got hurt about her recent breakup.
“I had to tell him straight. I did it very casually parang dina-downplay ko ng konti. Pero medyo nalungkot siya. Nakita ko talaga na nalungkot siya,” said Sotto, whose marriage to Crixus’ father was annulled in 2019.
“Medyo na hurt siya. Siyempre nasanay siya na may playmate, na parang tatlo kami. Pero buti na lang, alam naman niya na boyfriend ko lang ‘yon. Hindi naman ‘yon ang dad niya and friends kami ng dad niya,” she added.
Sotto stressed that it’s important to be honest with your child.
“Even if you think that he’s just a toddler or he is really young … he will understand. Maa-understand nila ‘yon, alam nila ‘yon. Kailangan mo lang talaga na i-explain, kailangan mo maging honest,” she added.
Sotto, the daughter of Sen. Tito Sotto and Helen Gamboa, shared the lesson she learned from the breakup.
“I learned my lesson na rin, na kung hindi pa pala siya ang the one, huwag mo munang ipakilala,” she said.(ABS-CBN News)
