MANILA — Ellen Adarna revealed on Wednesday her co-parenting setup with John Lloyd Cruz, after their son briefly appeared in the actor's Instagram film with Bea Alonzo early this week.

The live video call was brought up by one of Adarna's followers through a comment on her Instagram post. It mentioned that Elias was with Cruz in the April 30 stream.

"How often do you see your son?" the fan asked Adarna.

"He stays with me," Adarna answered. "He sleeps over his dad's place twice a week because we co-parent."

In the Instagram call with Alonzo, Cruz said he was in Cebu, where Adarna is known to be based.

Adarna's candid response marked the first time she directly addressed sharing a child with Cruz. Previously, she admitted being in a long-distance relationship with a foreigner, thereby confirming rumors of her separation from the actor.

Adarna, 32, has said she has no plans to resume her showbiz career anytime soon, as she intends to be a full-time mom to Elias.
