In her interview with 'Eat Bulaga,' she explained why she left the limelight temporarily, ”Simula nung nabuntis ako sa panganay ko, I wanted to spend more time with her tapos biglang dumating si pangalawa. I want to spend more time with the family.”
The couple is blessed with three children, Heather Sloane, Austin Titus, and Harmony Saige.
Nadine also admitted she misses showbiz and is planning to make a comeback. "Nakaka-miss umarte nakaka-miss 'yung mga samahan n'yo sa set, nakaka-miss magpuyat, nakaka-miss din. Kaya I'm planning [a showbiz comeback], baka soon."
Aside from being a full-time mom, Nadine has also been managing their family's online businesses which include dried fishes, pastries, and condominium unit rentals.
