The revelation stunned netizens, especially those unaware of the quiet tension that once existed between the two.

Dina Bonnevie Recalls How Vico Sotto Used To Avoid Her When He Was Young

A Painful Memory of the Past

In the interview originally aired in 2020, Dina bravely recalled how she first met young Vico—Vic Sotto’s son with Coney Reyes—after her marriage with Vic had ended. Vico was born in 1989, just three years before Dina and Vic’s annulment.

“I remember Vic brought Vico to the house,” she said. “I gave him Oyo’s old clothes, books, and lots of toys. I even told myself, this is part of accepting things as they are.”

But what truly broke hearts was Dina’s emotional confession about Vico’s behavior whenever he saw her in church:
“He would avoid me. He didn’t want to see me because, I think, I reminded him of the sin.”

“It Was Never Your Fault”

Despite the awkwardness, Dina never blamed Vico. In fact, she made sure to tell him, “It’s not your fault. It was never your fault. Don’t carry the burden of what happened.”

Her words reveal not only her maturity, but also the silent emotional struggle she endured—caught between forgiveness and unresolved wounds.

Making Peace With Coney Reyes

Adding another emotional layer to the story, Dina shared that the rift between her and Coney Reyes—Vico’s mother and her former friend—was one of the most painful parts of her past.

“My life has been an open book,” Dina said. “Everyone knew about the fight. It was heartbreaking because it wasn’t just about love. It was also about friendship.”

But time healed even this scar. “It took years before we made peace. But God is good. He healed our hearts and brought us back to understanding.”

Admiration for Vico and His Upbringing

Despite their past, Dina has nothing but praise for how Coney raised Vico.

“I admire her for doing it alone. Kudos to her. Vico turned out to be a smart, kind man. I’m proud of him,” she said sincerely.

A Story of Pain, Grace, and Healing

Dina’s confession isn’t just a showbiz revelation—it’s a human story of betrayal, silent pain, and the long, sometimes lonely road to healing. What once began in heartbreak has slowly transformed into a story of forgiveness, strength, and admiration.
