"We're both super busy, but thankfully, the dad and the dad's partner are the ones kapag may sipon ka, here I will send you food. Let's make sure that you are well. So it's not a secret. We have been separated for a while. And now he's happy. I am happy that he's happy," said Lea during an interview by popular entertainment broadcaster MJ Marfori of TV5, uploaded on TikTok on Jan. 21.
At 54, Lea opened up about her personal experience while discussing her son's gender transition. During the conversation, she offered thoughtful advice to both singles and couples on how to support, care for, and unconditionally love their gay children.
"If you do not have kids, if you think you will not be able to love your child if they come out to you and say, 'Mom, I am gay, mom I'm lesbian, mom I'm bisexual, mom I'm trans, if under those conditions your love will stop, don't have children. Don't.
