Actress Camille Prats has announced she is stepping away from acting in teleseryes, at least for now, to focus on her family. The heartfelt announcement came as her GMA Network teleserye Mommy Dearest entered its final week.

In a moving Instagram post, Camille reflected on her journey portraying Olive Caparas, a role that she said reignited her passion for acting. “When GMA offered me this role, it wasn’t a difficult decision to make,” she wrote. “What I didn’t realize was how much I had been longing—as an actress—to take on a character different from the ones I usually portray: the kind-hearted, often oppressed protagonist.”

Prats expressed her gratitude to director Gina Alajar for helping shape the character and guiding her through the early taping days. She also gave a warm thank-you to her co-actors, crew, and staff, recalling the shared laughter, food, and faith that made the long workdays meaningful. “Special thanks to Ms. Amy Austria for always feeding not just our stomachs but also our hearts,” she added.

In the same post, Camille revealed her decision to take a break from television dramas to focus on her growing family. “Turns out, hindi ko pala kayang hatiin ang katawan ko—and while I deeply love what I do… I’m being called to be a wife and mom first,” she wrote. The actress, who is a mother of three, emphasized that this move doesn’t mean the end of her career as a teleserye actor but rather a pause to prioritize her most important roles off-screen.

She concluded her post by thanking GMA Network, the show’s creatives, and the loyal viewers, writing: “Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. Hanggang sa muli. Olive Caparas, signing off.”
