Ara Mina was featured on 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' where she opened up about her experiences with having a blended family.


Ara is married to businessman Dave Almarinez, who has three daughters - Kirsten and Klane with former wife Erish.

Klane, whom Dave treats like his own daughter, is the child of Erish from a previous relationship before Dave.

Ara meanwhile, has one daughter, Mandy, with ex-boyfriend and former Bulakan, Bulacan Mayor Patrick Meneses.

Ara shared, "Okay kami, si Kirsten, 'pag umuuwi dito, she's studying abroad 'eh, Close sila ni Mandy.

"I can feel her love," Ara said, describing Kirsten.

She added, "I met Dave's wife, okay din kami."

Ara also recalled a New Year's Eve celebration where they celebrated the holidays together as a blended family. "One New Year celebration, doon kami nag-celebrate sa bahay nila Patrick--with Dave."
