Kylie Padilla on Cousin Daniel Padilla’s Fame: “Sikat siya sa network namin!”
Actress Kylie Padilla recently shared her thoughts on the massive popularity of her cousin, Daniel Padilla, during a casual interview. With Daniel reigning as one of the biggest stars in the Philippine entertainment industry, Kylie couldn’t help but express her pride and amusement over his immense success.
A Proud Cousin
“Sikat siya sa network namin!” Kylie playfully exclaimed, referring to Daniel’s long-standing stardom under ABS-CBN, one of the country’s leading networks. Despite working under rival networks—Kylie with GMA and Daniel with ABS-CBN—the actress remains supportive of her cousin’s flourishing career.
“I’m happy for him, of course. He worked really hard to get where he is now,” Kylie added, noting that their family has always been proud of Daniel’s achievements, especially his enduring partnership with on-and-off-screen girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo.
Family Support Above All
Kylie shared that while she and Daniel rarely get to see each other due to their busy schedules, they remain close as family. “We don’t always get the chance to talk or hang out, but when we do, it’s like no time has passed. That’s how it is with family.”
She also mentioned how their shared lineage of talented artists, including their uncle Robin Padilla, serves as inspiration for both of them to pursue their careers with passion.
While Daniel continues to dominate the big screen and concert stages, Kylie has carved her own path in acting, excelling in dramatic roles in various GMA Network series. “I’m happy with where I am right now. I may not be as sikat as Daniel, but I love what I’m doing and the opportunities I’ve been given,” she said with a smile.
Despite working for competing networks, Kylie emphasized the importance of mutual respect and support. “At the end of the day, family is family. We celebrate each other’s wins no matter what.”
With both Kylie and Daniel thriving in their respective careers, fans can’t help but admire their bond as cousins and their individual journeys in the spotlight.
