Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with Kapuso reporter Howie Severino for “Quarantined with Howie Severino” on May 26, Vico shared that he's been living with Coney during the quarantine.

He also shared their setup and routines at home amidst his busy schedule.

“Right now, I'm living with my mom again just for practicality. But we don't see each other a whole lot.

“I say bye to her in the morning and I say hi to her in the evening and good night,” he said.

Vico then said that Coney regularly checks on him, especially with regard to his eating habits amid his hectic work schedule these days.

“Lagi niya akong tinatanong when she gets the chance. Pero ayaw ko na rin istorbohin siya masyado na maghahanda pa para sa akin,”

“Wala kasi kaming kasambahay ngayon, so she is actually, that's how she keeps active also.

“Pero siyempre ayaw ko naman bigyan siya ng trabaho. So practically almost of my meals, three meals a day, are here in the office. Most of the time,” he added.

Happy birthday, Ms. Coney!
