“We’re very civil. Yes, now we’re talking,” Claudine told ABS-CBN’s showbiz talk show “The Buzz” in an interview aired Sunday.
She added, when asked about the custody case Raymart filed against her: “Napagusapan namin na sana let’s not talk about each other anymore, or let’s not accept questions regarding each other kung hindi maganda yung sasabihin natin.”

“We’re trying to be good parents for the kids,” Claudine also said.
She added, “We failed as husband and wife. We’re trying not to fail as parents now.”
Claudine said she is also “civil” with older sister Marjorie. It can be remembered that the two had a public falling out in 2013, after Marjorie and sister Gretchen after the two supported Raymart’s allegations that Claudine is mentally ill and has a history of drug abuse.
But Claudine and Marjorie were seen reunited at the 18th birthday party of Julia Barretto, Marjorie’s daughter. This prompted speculations that the two have already patched things up.
“I don’t now kung saan kami ni Marjorie,” Claudine said. “Sa relationship naming ngayon, I think it’s safe to say we’re civil.”
Claudine narrated: “Sa debut ni Julia ganyan, kinausap namin the other staff dun, na lalapit ako sa ate ko. Tinayming ko na nasa padulo na talaga. Nag-beso ako. Tapos sabi niya, ‘Thank you for coming. It means so much to Julia and to me.’
“Then I said, thank you for inviting me. Kapag dumadaan siya sa likod ko (during the party), she’d ask me, ‘Did you eat na? What do you want to drink?’ Nakikita mo ulit yung pagka-ate niya, alam mo yun,” she further said.
“Pero parang natatakot ako mag-dive doon sa ano na yun, kasi baka mawala ulit,” Claudine also said, although she added having breakfast with Marjorie the morning after Julia’s party.
As for a possible showbiz comeback, Claudine said she’s looking into doing a movie first, “to test the waters kung may market ka pa, di ba?” Her last movie was “In Your Eyes” in 2010, while her regular TV show was “Iglot” in 2011.
