Actress and TV host Karla Estrada opened up about her past relationship with ex-boyfriend Jam Ignacio, revealing that he remains the only ex she is not yet friends with.
“No, we’re not. Lahat ng ex ko, friends ko. Itong ex ko pa lang na ito ang hindi pa,” Estrada shared in an interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
(No, we’re not. All of my exes are my friends. It’s just this ex of mine who isn't yet.)
Estrada and Ignacio ended their relationship in 2024 after meeting in 2019. While she did not disclose the reason for their breakup, she expressed optimism that they may eventually rebuild their friendship.
“I think magiging kaibigan ko iyan eventually. Kasi ang pagpapatawad, hindi naman overnight,” she said.
(I think that he will be my friend eventually. Because forgiveness doesn't happen overnight.)
Estrada believes that forgiveness takes time and should come naturally.

“Hindi lang naman ako ang kailangang magpatawad — kailangan ko ring patawarin ang sarili ko. Sa part niya, kailangan niya rin ako patawarin. At kapag dumating ang araw na magkapatawaran at maging magkaibigan, ganoon naman talaga ang nangyayari,” she explained.
(It's not just me who needs to forgive — I need to forgive myself too. On his part, he needs to forgive me too. And when the day comes to forgive each other and be friends, that's exactly what will happen.)
However, she acknowledged the possibility that they may never reconnect, especially since they do not share children.
“Maaari rin na hindi na rin kami magkita o magkausap dahil wala naman kaming anak. Wala kaming koneksyon. Pero para sa sarili kong katahimikan, eventually, makakapagpatawad rin ako,” she added.
(It's also possible that we may never see or talk to each other again since we don’t have children. We have no connection. But for my own peace, I will eventually be able to forgive.)
Ignacio is now engaged to his new partner, Jellie Aw.
When asked if she is open to falling in love again, Estrada responded with a laugh:
“Of course! Walang taong makakapigil na magmahal kang muli.”
(Of course! No one can stop you from falling in love again.)
