How Sofia Andres Keeps Her Bond with Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla Despite Their Breakup

MANILA – In the ever-changing world of showbiz, friendships can be as fleeting as headlines. But for actress Sofia Andres, her connection with Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla has stood the test of time—even after the former couple confirmed their breakup.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Sofia shared how she balances her close ties with both Kathryn and Daniel, ensuring she remains neutral and supportive to both parties.

Respect Above All

Sofia emphasized that mutual respect is key to maintaining her friendship with Kathryn and Daniel. “I respect both sides kasi siyempre sila ‘yung nakaka-alam. I’m fair,” she said, highlighting her commitment to understanding their personal choices and decisions.

Despite the breakup, Sofia assured fans that there’s no “bad blood” between her and the former couple. In fact, she still spends quality time with them separately. “Actually, my partner Daniel [Miranda] is close to DJ [Daniel Padilla], so they still hang out. Ako naman, I hang out with Kath [Kathryn Bernardo],” Sofia explained.

A Friendship Built Through the Years

The trio’s friendship dates back to their early days in showbiz. They first worked together in 2012 on the hit ABS-CBN series Princess and I, which marked Sofia’s debut in the industry. The show became a platform not only for their careers to flourish but also for their bond to deepen.

Sofia recounted the fun times they shared on set and how their friendship extended beyond the cameras. Over the years, their connection remained strong, even as they each embarked on different paths in their personal and professional lives.

A Special Bond with Kathryn

Sofia’s closeness with Kathryn was evident when Bernardo became one of the first people to learn about Sofia’s pregnancy back in 2019. This significant moment solidified their sister-like bond, proving that their friendship extends far beyond the superficiality of showbiz.

“Kath has always been supportive of me, and I’m grateful for her,” Sofia shared, describing Kathryn as one of her most trusted friends.

Moving Forward After the Breakup

In November 2023, Kathryn and Daniel shocked fans when they announced their decision to end their 11-year relationship via heartfelt social media posts. While fans were heartbroken, Sofia chose to remain a steady source of support for both her friends during this challenging time.

“I think it’s important to let them navigate their own paths. At the end of the day, sila lang talaga ang nakakaalam kung ano ang tama para sa kanila,” Sofia said, stressing the importance of giving them space while being there for them when needed.

A Lasting Friendship

Sofia’s approach to handling friendships is a testament to her maturity and understanding. Her ability to respect boundaries and maintain neutrality has allowed her to stay close to both Kathryn and Daniel without causing tension or awkwardness.

As Sofia continues to focus on her career and family life with her partner Daniel Miranda and their daughter Zoe, she remains a shining example of how genuine friendships can endure in the glitzy world of showbiz.

For fans of Kathryn, Daniel, and Sofia, their story serves as a reminder that relationships may evolve, but true friendships, when nurtured with respect and understanding, can withstand any challenge.
