Actress Sofia Andres opened up about the dynamics of her friendship with celebrity ex-couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. Despite the end of Bernardo and Padilla’s 11-year relationship, Andres has managed to navigate her close ties with both individuals, ensuring she maintains respect and neutrality.

In a recent interview with ABS-CBN News, Sofia revealed that she continues to spend time with each of them, but separately. She shared that her partner, race car driver Daniel Miranda, remains close to Padilla. “Actually, my partner Daniel is close to DJ (Daniel Padilla) talaga, so they still hang out,” she explained. “Ako naman, I hang out with Kath (Kathryn Bernardo). Wala namang bad blood.”

Andres emphasized her approach of being fair and respecting both sides, underscoring her belief that only Bernardo and Padilla truly know what is best for them. “I respect both sides kasi siyempre sila ‘yung nakaka-alam. I’m fair,” she said, reflecting her maturity in handling the delicate situation.

The actress’s bond with Bernardo and Padilla goes back more than a decade to their early days in show business. The three first worked together in 2012 on the hit ABS-CBN series Princess and I, which also marked Andres’ debut project. Over the years, their friendship extended beyond the professional sphere, becoming a genuine connection that lasted through ups and downs.

One testament to their closeness came in 2019 when Kathryn Bernardo was among the first to know about Sofia Andres’ pregnancy with her daughter, Zoe. It highlighted the trust and intimacy they shared as friends, even as their individual lives took different turns.

The news of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla’s breakup in November 2023 came as a shock to fans, given their long and storied relationship that spanned over a decade. In heartfelt social media posts, both confirmed the end of their romantic journey, expressing gratitude for their time together and for the support of their fans. Despite this, they hinted at maintaining mutual respect and continuing their professional and personal growth separately.

Through it all, Sofia Andres has shown her ability to navigate her friendships with grace. Her statement about respecting both sides speaks volumes about her commitment to fairness and her understanding of the complexities of relationships. While their paths may have diverged, Andres, Bernardo, and Padilla remain connected by shared memories and years of camaraderie, demonstrating that even amid change, friendship can endure.
