Barbie and Ivana's bond traces back to GMA's 2011 teen-oriented series Tween Hearts, where they started as supporting characters.

Over the years, their friendship flourished with both stars always cheering each other on.

In 2023, Ivana expressed her deep admiration for Barbie in one of her vlogs. "Ang pinakamabait sa 'kin na hindi ko malilimutan, 'di ko pa s'ya nakakausap after, si Barbie Forteza kasi s'ya ay sobrang bait, totoo talaga s'ya kaya super blessed n'ya because she really has a good heart," she said.

Barbie warmly responded to Ivana's kind words on social media, "Grabe naman to. Maraming salamat, Ivana Alawi, So happy for all your success. Ingat kayo ni Mona Hi po tita!"
