“Very supportive sila sa lahat ng ginagawa ko,” she said, adding, “At peaceful yung relationship.”

The two actresses previously worked together on the GMA series Widows’ Web. Their time in lock-in taping gave Ashley a chance to get to know her co-star beyond their scenes.
“Sobrang bait niya talaga,” she said.
Ashley explained that she and Mavy were still with different partners during that period. She even recalled introducing her then-boyfriend to Carmina, showing that the veteran actress already knew her before she became romantically involved with her son.
When Carmina later learned that Mavy was courting Ashley, the younger actress said she welcomed her.
“She’s so welcoming,” she shared.
That warmth extended to the rest of the family. Ashley also mentioned Zoren Legaspi and spoke fondly about the relationship she has developed with Mavy’s twin sister, Cassy.
“Para kami magkapatid,” she said of their closeness.
The actress shared that she joins the family for dinner at their home from time to time. In describing those visits, she emphasized feeling supported and comfortable around them.
Her account focused on how they have personally treated her, particularly as her relationship with Mavy developed.
Ashley’s fondness for Carmina also matches what she had said about working with her years earlier. In an April 2022 interview published by GMA Entertainment, she admitted initially feeling nervous about sharing scenes with the seasoned actress. However, she said that nervousness faded after discovering how approachable and kind her co-star was.
Carmina has likewise spoken positively about Ashley. In an October 2025 report by PEP.ph, the veteran actress expressed her approval of her son’s girlfriend and described her as respectful and sweet. She also noted that their previous work together meant they already knew each other when Mavy brought Ashley home.
Ashley Ortega originally rose to fame as a beloved GMA Network child star. Over the years, she has successfully transformed into a sought-after leading lady. Ortega is widely celebrated not only for her exceptional ice skating talent but also for her powerful acting in hit television series such as Widows' Web.
Last month, the Kapuso star candidly shared her personal battles with mental wellness, revealing difficult instances where she faced profound sadness and overwhelming emotional distress. According to a GMA News report, the celebrity expressed deep empathy for individuals navigating similar psychological hardships, noting that these issues strongly resonate with today's youth. She credited her journey toward healing to the unwavering support of her close-knit circle and her strong spiritual beliefs, which guided her through her darkest days. Offering a powerful message of hope, the actress urged anyone going through tough times to continuously push forward rather than letting past traumas hold them back.
