During an Instagram Live session, BB Gandanghari did not shy away from fans' queries about her relationship with Carmina Villarroel.

To which she described the relationship as, “not in bad terms.”

“Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibig mong sabihin na 'in good terms' but, we're definitely not in bad terms.

“The last time I saw her, we were very civil and cordial. In fact, they [Carmina and husband Zoren Legaspi] were very nice to me.

“Ipinakilala nila sa akin 'yung mga anak nila but it was a simple 'hi' and 'hello.'”

The following day, prying fans once again asked if she and Carmina have established a friendship since separating legally in 2002.

A fan wrote in the comments, “Curious lang po. Are you friends with Carmina?”

To which she clarified, “I spoke about this yesterday. I can't say that we're friends kasi we haven't talked in a long time to rediscover each other in that sense.”

Meanwhile, a fan of the Rustom-Mina tandem shared that the actress never once defamed BB Gandanghari to the press.

“That's why I know. I guess that's the mutual respect between the two of us na in itself is a blessing from God,” she replied.

BB Gandanghari, formerly known as Rustom Padilla, was once married to Carmina Villarroel in 1994. They separated in 1997 but were legally divorced in 2002.
