“Now that I’ve owned being a woman, being a mother actually made me into the woman who I am now,” Kylie Padilla said in her recent interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on November 3, 2023.

Kylie also talks about what she learned in love. “Medyo cliché, e, but I wish nagtira ako para sa sarili ko kasi I gave my all talaga.
