In this unpredictable and complicated world of show business, many believe that it’s hard to find and maintain genuine friendships. But Star Magic artists Kathryn Bernardo and Sofia Andres are indeed so blessed to have found each other and become each other besties for almost a decade now.

It can be recalled that their worked together in the 2012 teen drama Princess and I, wherein they played the role of adoptive sisters Mikay (Kathryn) and Dindi (Sofia). Little we did know that they weren’t just taping friends, as they went on to become close friends in real life. And at present, they are “mag-kumares” since the Queen of Hearts is among the godparents of Sofia’s adorable daughter Zoe.

In the latest episode of Kathryn’s online show TGIS, the two young actresses talked about their friendship and early days of their showbiz careers, other things they aspire to do aside from acting, the La Vida Lena star’s pregnancy, and everything in between.

“Kasi unang-una, ikaw ang una kong naka-work sa showbiz and you’re the most genuine [person] I know. Have you heard someone to whom I’m close with? Wala. Kasi in the long run, may mga tao pa ring magre-reach out sa’yo kahit ‘di kayo nag-uusap, at kaya ‘yon. So, I appreciate that. Parang hinonor ko lang na I think you have to know,” Sofia told Kathryn when asked why she chose her to be one of the people to first know about her “top secret” then.

It was also on that same interview when their fans found out that it’s not only strong and beautiful friendship that they share, but both of them are also fascinated with the name “Zoe.” Isn’t it cute?

But what’s certainly cuter are the photos of them together through the years that we collated in this gallery, including those taken during their recent out-of-town trip that they shared on Instagram!
