Iwa explained that when she first entered the life of her partner, Pampi Lacson, Jodi's former husband, the past relationship between the two had already completely ended. Because of this, there was never any bitterness or friction between the two women.

"Nung dumating naman ako sa buhay ni Pampi, wala na talaga sila," Iwa shared openly. "So nung dumating ako, hindi na siguro naging mahirap yung transition namin to becoming friends. Maybe because I'm not the reason why they broke up," she told Boy during the interview.

Beyond a clean slate, it was their mutual devotion to Thirdy—Jodi’s son with Pampi—that truly cemented their bond. Iwa admitted that she naturally extended her motherly love to Thirdy as if he were her own child.

Watching the child struggle during the initial family adjustments broke her heart, prompting the adults to quickly fix their ties for his sake. Since then, their dynamic blossomed so beautifully that the two women have sweet nicknames for each other, one that they've often used from time to time on social media as well.

"I call her Amor. She's the Amor of my life, and she calls me Madam," Iwa shared laughingly behind her hand, referencing Jodi's famous television role. "It blossomed into this wonderful friendship to the point that I consider her one of my best friends," she confessed.

"Sarap po ng may kaibigan that would listen to you pero may perspective pa rin po ng doctor," Iwa expressed warmly.
