Singer Morissette opened up about her once strained relationship with her family after choosing to fight for her love with fellow artist Dave Lamar, despite her parents’ disapproval.

In her interview with Karen Davila, Morissette recalled that her relationship with Dave began as a long-distance romance.

“‘Yung first round po namin na mag-boyfriend-girlfriend kami, long distance pa. Si Dave nun ay based pa sa US... this was around...2014, 2015,” she said.

Distance and shifting priorities tested their relationship.

“We didn’t really fall out of love pero hindi lang kami nagka-align sa priorities namin ni Dave... more than nawalan ako ng boyfriend, nawalan ako ng best friend talaga,” she admitted.

When they got a second chance, Morissette said she knew she had to fight for it.

“Both my parents... really wanted me to prioritize my career. But when we were brought back together by fate, parang nasabi ko also na ipaglaban ko na ’to.” The couple tied the knot in June 2021.

Choosing love came with a cost—Morissette and her family stopped talking for five years. Their reconciliation happened unexpectedly during one of her fan gatherings.

“There was my mom, my brother, and his wife... Ang una ko lang pong sinabi, ‘Mommy,’ and I cried and I said I’m sorry,” she recalled. Her mother responded, “Okay lang, okay na tayo.”

Later, she also reconciled with her father, who she said was “mad” at first but eventually welcomed her with open arms, sealing their family’s healing.

Previously, Morisette found it better to talk about a blind item that many speculated might have been referring to her. The said blind item was posted by an event director and talked about a singer referred to as a "phoenix." According to Mori, she supposedly didn't have any plans to talk about it but she said it was unfair to be at the receiving end of bashings without her confronting such. She said she couldn't understand why the person posted about the blind item when she doesn't even know the individual at all. The singer continued to say that even if she wasn't feeling well, she still performed at an event.

In another previous interview, Mori opened up about her wedding with Dave Lamar on “Magandang Buhay.” The OPM star explained why she kept her wedding a secret at first. She wanted to keep her wedding private so that she, Dave, and their loved ones can enjoy it for themselves for at least several months. Morissette also revealed that she and Dave have yet to experience a grand honeymoon abroad.
