Jackie Lou Blanco recalls how daughter Rikki Mae came out to her as a lesbian

Jackie Lou Blanco recalled how her daughter Rikki Mae came out as a member of the LGBT+ community.

On "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Friday, Jackie said she had an inkling that her eldest daughter might be gay.

"But as a parent, baka naman hindi. Pero I had a feeling," the veteran actress began.

"So when she came to me, 'mom I have to tell you something.' Ako naman [I thought], 'oh my, ito na talaga. I think this is the day'," Jackie Lou recalled.

According to Jackie Lou, Rikki arrived with a girl right behind her and then she stood there silent for a full 15 minutes.

Jackie Lou asked her daughter if she Rikki wanted her to say it instead. "Sabi niya, 'no mama, I have to do it. Let me say it."

And then it came: "Sabi niya, 'Mama, I'm gay.' Sabi ko, 'I know.'"

Jackie Lou couldn't hide how proud she is of her daughter. "She's so responsible. At sobrang maalaga. Parang siya yung parent namin ng dad niya," she said.

Rikki Mae is Jackie Lou and Ricky Davao's second child.

The couple have separated but continue to co-parent their three grown kids.

In the show, Jackie Lou said "one of the most beautiful blessings in my life is to be a mother. I'm blessed with with good children, truly good children." — LA, GMA Integrated News
