Ako rin nga nagugulat e&#x27;,&quot; she jokingly said. &quot;Nag-mature talaga ako nu&#x27;ng naging nanay ako. Oo, iba na &#x27;yung priorities ko.

Kailangan talaga nag-uusap kayo palagi na alam mo &#x27;yung huwag mong kimkimin ang sama ng loob mo, kailangan maging open ka sa kaniya. Okay lang na masaktan siya pero kailangan malaman niya kung ano ang mali at malaman ko rin kung ano ang mali ko at doon kami nag-meet,&quot; she said.</p><p>Now that she is enjoying her role as a mother and a loving partner, the comedienne is also considering adding a new member to the family.</p><p>&quot;Kung ibibigay. Nag-usap nga kami ni Vice Ganda kasi inanak niya &#x27;yan e. Sabi ko, &#x27;parang hindi na.&#x27; Sabi niya, okay din iyan, para mayamang mayaman siya.
