Beauty has continued to thrive in her career with an impressive portfolio of current and upcoming projects in an industry that has typecast celebrity moms as way past their prime.
Asked about her thoughts on getting more TV projects and endorsement deals after she got married and started a family of her own, Beauty answered philosophically.
The 31-year-old actress said, "I think good things happen to good people.
"If you do good things, good things will happen to you. And, you know, you just continuously believe in yourself. Don't give up.
"Kasi sometimes when you have a family already, you think na, 'Ah, okay na ito.'
"But when you think na kaya mo pa, you still push yourself. Ang daming puwede pa mangyari."

The Dumaguete-born star revealed wanting to shatter showbiz expectations about celebrity moms: "Kasi alam naman natin sa showbiz na, 'May anak na iyan, ganyan, ganito na, tapos na.'
"But, you know, gusto kong sirain yun na kahit may anak na ako, at kahit may happy married life ako, kaya ko pa rin magpakilig...
"Kaya ko pa rin mag-pose, and, you know, hindi ako titigil habang kaya pa. At kung hindi na kaya, ako na mismo magtatago," she said with a laugh.
In fact, her performances and on-screen chemistry with leading men—among them the actors Gabby Concepcion, Albert Martinez, Kelvin Miranda, and Ariel Rivera—of all ages have cemented her status as one of the top actresses in the industry.

HUSBAND'S SUPPORT
Beauty also acknowledged the unwavering support of husband, Norman Crisologo,
She said he would even accompany her to her shoots, a thoughtful gesture if a bit comical.
She shared, giggling, "Sabi niya lang sa akin, just like all the boys na ka-love team ko, from Gabby to Albert to Kelvin to Ariel, 'Make sure you brush your teeth before you come home.'
"Iyan lang yun. That's all he says. I mean, I've been in love teams with all these guys, yun lang yung bilin niya sa akin: 'Baby did you have a kissing scene today?'
"'Yeah, I forgot, parang meron, oo.'
"'Did you brush your teeth?'
"'Wait lang.'"
