Sarah Geronimo marked her 38th birthday by releasing a duet with her father, Delfin Geronimo, and sharing a behind-the-scenes video with her mother, Divine Geronimo.
Sarah gave a glimpse of the reunion through an Instagram post on Saturday, July 25, describing the collaboration as a gift to herself.
‘This is a gift to myself, to everyone and my father. To celebrate him and our love for music,’ read the post.
The video showed Sarah and her father recording together in the studio. Delfin became emotional as they performed, saying that his daughter gave him the confidence to sing again.
‘Sobrang proud ako sa anak ko kasi siguro, sa kaniya lang ako nakakakuha ng lakas ng loob. Sobrang masaya ko tsaka masyado akong na-touch sa mga kanta. Habang kumakanta kami, para akong maiiyak,’ he said.
The pop star royalty said performing with her father had long been a dream.
‘Sobra akong masayang-masaya dahil I got to do this with the dearest person in my life, siyempre ang tatay at nanay ko. Kasama ko ang tatay ko ngayon, sharing beautiful music. Performing together is such a dream come true,’ she expressed.
The recording session also included a brief interaction between Sarah and her mother. The video captured an embrace and a kiss on the cheek between the mother and daughter.
Sarah and Delfin recorded a cover of Jose Mari Chan’s ‘Refrain,’ a song by one of the artists they both enjoy listening to. The duet has been released on the pop star’s official YouTube channel.
The collaboration comes after years of public reports about Sarah’s strained relationship with her parents following her marriage to Matteo Guidicelli in 2020.
In 2023, Sarah shared a now-deleted letter apologizing to her parents for the pain she said some of her decisions had caused. Although she did not specify what she was referring to at the time.
A year later, Sarah confirmed in an interview that she and her mother had resumed speaking, sharing that Divine had congratulated her on her achievements.
Earlier this year, Sarah was also seen publicly with her father on several occasions, including a Father’s Day outing.
