The StarStruck graduate gabbed how having a child altered her life and Amarah’s dad, Ali Khatibi. Cristine recalled what adjustments she’s going through for the sake of her daughter– from changing the diapers, the sleeping hours to shifting her career path in show business.

 

She said, “I’m the one adjusting to her.”

When it comes to her image in showbiz, Cristine mentioned that she is choosing a different path for Amarah. She divulged, “I can no longer do the things I used to do, I can’t pose in a seductive way [anymore]. I want to grow.”

Cristine is hoping that in the future Amarah will have a close relationship with her parents. She revealed, “I just want us to remain close; I want her to be able to say anything and everything to Ali and me. What’s important is she’ll think that what’s okay with her parents is also good for her.”
