It is believed that finding genuine and long-lasting relationships in the ever-changing and complicated world of show business is impossible. But there are celebrities who dismissed this notion, such as The Iron Heart actress Sofia Andres and her longtime bestie Elisse Joson, who do not only have the prettiest faces, but also one of the most beautiful friendships in the industry.
During their Magandang Buhay guesting in 2016 alongside Michelle Vito, it was revealed that their friendship blossomed when Elisse began attending Star Magic workshops. They’ve been inseparable since then, as they tend to spend a lot of time with one another. However, Elisse confessed that they actually didn’t click right off the bat because it took time before they’re able to build and strengthen their bond.
While other besties love to go out or have a good time with each other, Elisse and Sofia’s favorite bonding activity is, in fact, their crying sessions inside the comfort room for it is through those instances when Elisse gets to know Sofia deeper.
They returned to the morning show the following year, wherein they further talked about their friendship. The two reiterated how they initially didn’t hit it off primarily because of their totally different personalities – Elisse is an introvert and usually wants to stay at home, while Sofia is an extrovert and tends to be sociable and always on the go. Besides, Elisse is also the girly or kikay-type who loves to go matchy-matchy with her bestie, while Sofia is a self-confessed boyish. But despite their differences, the two were still able to go beyond those and remain best friends.
Since both of them were still in the early years of their respective careers then, the pair disclosed that there was actually a point when they were on the verge of giving up. But they just consoled and reminded each other to be more patient because their time to shine would surely finally come. And it did happen as they catapulted into becoming two of the promising actresses of their generation.
“Kasi iba rin po ‘yong parang sabay naming na-reach ‘yong dreams namin, tapos nagtulungan pa po. Tapos parehas din naming sinusuportahan ang sarili namin,” Sofia said. Then Elisse added, “Importante din po ‘yong walang nagsasapawan. Support lang po sa isa’t isa.”
When it come to their love lives, Sofia disclosed that they just let each other be happy. But when the relationship went on the rocks or ended, one must expect to hear: “Ayan kasi anong sabi ko sa’yo” from the other. They also make sure to introduce their special someone to one another.
Sofia and Elisse may be both moms now, but it doesn’t stop them from doing the things they truly love, such as hanging out with each other. Just like what they did last January when they were spotted having fun together with their daughters Baby Zoe and Baby Felize, amidst the controversies and rough patch they were going through that time.
A lot may have already changed in this world, but Sofia and Elisse were to maintain their beautiful friendship through the years, as seen in their photos in this gallery. Way to go, ladies!
