Kanino siya mas closer, sa kanyang biological Dad or sa kanyang Step Dad?

“After I met my Daddy Greg, I felt na nag-click kami agad. Ni wala kaming ilangan or adjustment period. I was comfortable with him right away and we’re now very close. I’m so happy for my mom that she found him at napangasawa siya. He treats me as his real daughter and I can feel he loves me talaga. So I now have two dads and, as they say, the more the merrier. I’m really happy.”

Ysabel even added during the grand mediacon of The Gift, na pansin daw niya ay tipong takot ang mga boys na ligawan siya.

“Maraming takot sa bago kong daddy dahil general. Nakaka-intimidate daw. Pero right now, wala naman akong time magpaligaw kasi kahit na I’m working now, tuloy-tuloy po ang studies ko.

“I’m majoring in political economy at the University of Asia and the Pacific. I really go to school everyday at hindi siya home school. So kung may free time ako after taping and after school, I’d rather just rest and go to sleep.” Lahad pa niya.

Inamin pa nitong si Ysabel na in good terms naman daw sila nang kanyang biological Dad na si Senador Lito Lapid nga.

“Yes, we talk on the phone. Alam niyang I’m now with GMA-7 and he’s happy naman for me. Supportive po siya sa decision ko to join showbiz and he wishes me well in my career. There was a time nagkaroon kami ng tampuhan but we are okay now.”
