Actor Paolo Contis recently shared on Instagram a heartwarming bonding trip in Cebu with his daughters with ex-wife Lian Paz — Xonia and Xalene.
Paolo posted photos from their visit and expressed his gratitude for the memorable time together.
Joining Paolo and his daughters on the trip were Lian and her husband, John Cabahug.
Lian and her daughters with Paolo currently reside in Cebu, where they live with John.
Lian and John brought their blended family together, joined by their daughter, Niña Angela, and Maria Alexandra, John’s daughter from a previous relationship.
The group spent quality time at Enchanted Mountain, an experience Paolo warmly shared on social media.
In his post, Paolo expressed how full his heart felt, thanking John and Lian for the wonderful experience and for giving him the chance to reconnect and bond with his daughters.
Paolo's full caption reads, published as is: "My heart is full.. [emojis] thank you @johncabahug87 and @liankatrina for a wonderful day!

The wholesome display earned widespread support from followers and friends.
Celebrity Zara Lopez commented, praising the blended family: "Nakakatuwa yung family na meron kayo [emoji] Forgiveness kasi we have GOD [emoji]" while numerous other fans left heart emojis.
The recent bonding trip marked a continuation of the positive co-parenting dynamic that began when Paolo reunited with Xonia and Xalene in April 2025—a heartfelt reunion made possible through John’s efforts.
On John's birthday, August 7, 2025, Paolo posted a group photo on Instagram and expressed his deep appreciation: "John, I cannot thank you enough for this chance.
"I promise to have a constant communication sa inyong lahat. I will not waste this chance.
"Thank you for taking care of the kids. Please know that I am always here para sa inyong lahat."
