Cristine and Baron tackle the complexities of blended families

It is public knowledge that Cristine Reyes is only half-sister to Ara Mina, with whom she shares the same mother, while herself an empowered single mom to a nine-year-old girl. On the other hand, Baron Geisler is a proud stepfather to his wife's two sons from a previous relationship, besides being a doting dad to their four-year-old daughter together.

With first-hand experiences of living in modern and unconventional families, it goes without saying that this pair of talented actors' newest film, "Dearly Beloved," which delves into the intricate dynamics of blended families, is one that bears much importance and meaning for them to bring to present-day audiences. For as failed marriages, remarriages and pregnancies out of wedlock are no longer considered shocking situations in society, Cristine and Baron believe their Viva Films offering can effectively help those like them in navigating such complex family structures.
