Magkamag-anak pala ang Kapuso star na si Heart Evangelista at Kapamilya star na si Jodi Sta. Maria!
Iyan ang ibinuking ni Heart sa kaniyang Instagram Live nang uriratin siya ng isang netizen tungkol dito.
Magpinsan pala sina Heart at Jodi, na hindi masyadong nadidisclose sa publiko, in fairness. To be exact, second cousin daw. Medyo late na rin nalaman ni Mrs. Escudero na magpinsan pala sila ni Jodi.
"Jodi Sta. Maria is my cousin from my [mother's side]. I love Jodi Sta Maria. She's super nice and one of the genuine, genuine ones in the show business. I didn't even know she's my cousin 'til a few years of show business. She's my cousin, second cousin," ani Heart.
Naikumpara pa niya ang pinsan sa Hollywood actress na si Natalie Portman.
"Jodi is a great actress from the Philippines and she's like a Natalie Portman exactly. Super beautiful, super expressive eyes. I love her."
Maging ang mga netizen ay nagulat sa rebelasyon ni Heart patungkol sa kanila ni Jodi.
Sabi ng isang X user na nagngangalang "Nelson Adrian," "I was today years old when I learned that 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀 and 𝐉𝐎𝐃𝐈 𝐒𝐓𝐀.𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀 are actually cousins. Such a revelation! 🤯"

Matatandaang nagwagi si Jodi bilang Best Actress sa Asian Academy Creative Awards noong 2022 para sa "The Broken Marriage Vow," ang Philippine adaptation ng "Doctor Foster" na ginawan din ng remake ng South Korea na may pamagat na "The World of the Married."
