John Estrada has nothing but kind words for his ex-wife, Priscilla Meirelles.
Although the former couple has been legally separated for a year, they continue to co-parent their 14-year-old daughter, Anechka.
Priscilla, for her part, has complimented John for being a good provider to their daughter.
On June 15, 2026, John was spotted at the launch of Feta Mediterranean Grocer and Restaurant, where Priscilla is the brand manager.
While the focus was on the business she represents, their past lingered quietly in the background.
Was John there to support his ex-wife? Are they back to being friends—or is there something more?
In separate interviews at the event, the two offered insight into their current relationship.

PRISCILLA MEIRELES, JOHN ESTRADA on good terms
When Priscilla was asked about John’s presence at the event, she expressed her appreciation for the actor.
“John is actually a good family friend of Feta,” said the beauty queen turned actress-host.
“We are doing great co-parenting, and, of course, I appreciate him for being here, for being able to bond.
“When it comes to work, we’re very professional.”
At one point, PEP also spotted the former couple in conversation.
Meanwhile, John answered in the affirmative when members of the press asked him about being on good terms with Priscilla.
“Oo naman, of course! She’s the mother of my child, so kung kailangan niya ng suporta andito ako para sumuporta sa kanila,” he remarked.
He was then teased about possibly reconciling with Priscilla.
“Walang gano’n, but we're friends,” John answered with a laugh.
“And we’re happy that we talk and our co-parenting for our child is good.”
ON CO-PARENING WITH PRISCILLA
John also went into detail about their co-parenting set-up.
In previous years, when the two were going through their breakup, their relationship was far from smooth.
Now, two years after ending their marriage, John and Priscilla are in a better place, choosing to set aside their differences to co-parent their daughter effectively.
John said: “Okay naman. As what I said earlier, we communicate, we have an open communication, so wala namang problema doon.
“Like if I wanna talk to her about our daughter, parang di naman ako parang nahirapan.
“Ganoon din naman siya, if she needs help from me.”
When asked how they reached a point of being amicable, John explained: “Sometimes we have to sit down, sort things out. We have to communicate well, di ba.
“Kung may differences kayo, sometimes you have to set that aside for the well-being of your daughter. So, yun ang ginawa namin ni Priscilla.”
John is grateful to Priscilla for making things easier for both of them.
“And I thank her for giving me that, kumbaga open communication. Yung hindi siya nanghaharang. Madali, e. Parang madali sa kanya para to talk about our daughter, and I thank her for that [for] not giving me a hard time.”
He stressed: “It’s all about open communication. Like, just be honest with one another. Respect is really important.
“You sort out the differences and all that.”
What's his reaction to Priscilla commending him for being a good provider.
John answered, “Well, because I am. It’s a responsibility.”
Aside from Anechka, John also has four kids with ex-wife Janice de Belen.
When asked if he is hands-on in raising his kids, he answered: “I wouldn’t say hands on, but, of course, I’m here always.
“I always just tell them, ‘If you need dad’s support, dad’s advice, and I’m just here. I’m just a message away, I’m just a call away.’”
