"Hanggang ngayon, okay na okay kami ng family nila kasi natutuwa ako, super naging close ko yung parents (I still have a close relationship with his family, and I'm glad I became very close with his parents)," the actress said.

"Lagi namang ganun eh, love ako ng mga parents ng naging ex ko, as in gustong-gusto nila ako promise (It's always been like that. I promise, all of my exes' parents have liked me)," she added.

In the vlog, Jelai said she and Paul's family kept in touch after she got married, and got to introduce them to her husband.
