“Napatawad mo na ba si Ara Mina?” Andre asked Aiko.

He explained, “Bakit? Gusto ko malaman, e. Baka gusto rin malaman ng mga subscribers natin d'yan, 'di ba?”

After laughing, Aiko answered Andre's question, saying, “Okay. Oo.”

Watch their Truth or Lie challenge:

In 2017, Aiko and Ara met at a common friend's funeral, where they patched things up after 16 years.

In 2001, Ara Mina was romantically involved with Jomari Yllana, who was Aiko's husband at that time and Andre's father. Aiko and Jomari's marriage was annulled in 2003.

In 2008, Aiko became romantically involved with politician Patrick Meneses, who went on to be Ara's boyfriend three-years later after a bad break up with Aiko.

Ara and Patrick have one daughter, Amanda Gabrielle Meneses, who was born in December 2014.
