Calix is Dennis Trillo’s son with former partner Carlene Aguilar. Through her marriage to Dennis, Jen became his stepmother. The couple’s blended family also includes Jazz, her son with Patrick Garcia, and their daughter Dylan. These family relationships have been documented in GMA’s previous reports.
Her support for Calix has also appeared in birthday greetings and interviews over the years.
In September 2025, the actress celebrated his 18th birthday with an Instagram post featuring a video of him spending time with Dylan. The younger child was shown putting makeup on her older brother.
Alongside the video, Jen expressed pride in him and encouraged him to keep pursuing his goals.
“Keep chasing your dreams Kuya, we’re here to support you always. We love you!” she wrote.
The greeting offered another example of her use of “Kuya” when addressing Calix, a term that also appeared in the supplied transcription of their TikTok exchange.
Carlene has likewise publicly acknowledged the actress’s affection for her son. In September 2024, she responded to a birthday tribute Jen had posted for him.
“Thank you Mommy Jen for loving Calix as your own,” she commented.
Jen had previously discussed their family setup in an October 2023 interview with GMANetwork.com. She explained that she treats Calix as her own child, just as Dennis does with Jazz.
“Kumbaga, tine-treat ko si Calix as my own. Si Dennis gano’n din kay Jazz,” she said.
During that interview, she also spoke about taking Calix to the FIBA finals as a birthday treat because of his love for basketball. Although she was unfamiliar with the sport, she wanted him to enjoy the experience. Her account showed how she makes time for the things that matter to him.
