In a recent episode of Mars Pa More, Iya Villania revealed during the "Mars Sharing Group" segment that she cried when her husband Drew Arellano got a tattoo.
During the said "Mars Sharing Group" segment, hosts Iya and Camille Prats, along with their celebrity guests Voltes V: Legacy stars Epy Quizon and Martin del Rosario were asked to name instances when they were a “kontrabida” in real life.
Iya then shared that she was once a “kontrabida” in her husband Drew's life when she strongly opposed his decision to get a tattoo.

“Ako, mars, aminado ako na kontrabida ako minsan sa life ni Drew.
“At na-realize ko siya kasi kunwari there was a time noong mag-jowa pa lang kami, kontrabida ako sa pagkakaroon niya ng tattoo.
“Parang gusto niyang ayusin. I was like, 'No. Your body is a temple of God. You shouldn't do that to your body.' Achuchuchuchu…ang dami kong sinasabi.
“Nagpa-tattoo siya. Iyak ako. 'You don't love me. You don't care about, you know, what I have to say.'
“Only for me to realize na inggit lang pala ako. Gusto rin pala ng tattoo.”
The celebrity mom-of-three said she had realizations about why she felt and acted that way.
“Parang I think I wanted some sense of control over him, the same sense of control that my mom has and my parents have over me.
“So, parang I felt like I wanted that kind of control over him, kahit 'yung pagmo-motor.
“Kahit sa pagmo-motor. Parang 'No, don't ride a bike. Ganyan-ganyan. Aksidente.'
“Ang ending bibili lang din pala ako ng gear ko para makasakay [rin] ako sa kanya.”
She then gave some advice to other wives out there who are going through the same thing as she did.
“Sa mga mars, magpaka-totoo. Join them. (laughs)”
