Maxene Magalona had a “healing” moment with her mom Pia and brother Elmo, and the actress thanked God for “bringing [them] back together in His perfect time.”
Maxene gave a glimpse of their recent lunch date through her Instagram page on Wednesday, Aug. 7.
“You know what’s incredibly healing? Reconnecting with family and just having a good time catching up, laughing uncontrollably about funny memories and telling each other how proud you are of one another,” she said in the caption.
“Forever grateful for these moments and hoping that we have more with the rest of the family. Thanking God for bringing us back together in His perfect time,” she added.

Last July, Maxene admitted in an “Updated with Nelson Canlas” interview that she had kept a “healthy distance” from her family as part of her healing journey.
“Part of the healing journey is cutting ties with relationships, kahit family pa ‘yan, na hindi na nakakabuti para sa inyong pareho, para sa inyong dalawa,” she said. “I kept a healthy distance from my family for a while so that I can find myself. So that I can understand myself, saan nanggagaling ‘yung pain.”
“When we become adults, we have to break away for a while para mas makilala natin ng husto ‘yung sarili natin,” she added.
