Alexa Ilacad Drops The Sweetest Comment On Mika Dela Cruz's Weight Loss Video

Today, we celebrate two things: 1) Mika Dela Cruz's fitness milestone, and 2) Alexa Ilacad's sweet comment for Mika!

Here at Cosmo, we love stories of sisterhood, girl power, women supporting women, and girlhood—we're here for all of it. So when we spotted Mika's post, we just knew that it's worth a minute of your life.

On May 9, 2025, Mika shared her weight loss journey and some inspiration to fellow women out there. She posted an Instagram reel showing how much weight she has lost. "TRUST ME, I've tried everything in my power to lose the weight my health conditions brought me. 5 years of back and forth—going to different people, working out for hours every day, spending so much on different diet programs and medical methods, but still nothing worked for me," she began in her post.

The former Goin' Bulilit star then opened up about how she faced bodyshaming comments against her through the years, almost to the point of giving up on losing weight. "I had a hard time receiving all the bodyshaming, to tell you the truth. It's painful seeing my body being picked apart online and at times even in person [...] I started feeling hopeless, hating my appearance to the point of hiding myself," Mika said.

But here she is, standing tall with a much improved physique, encouraging everyone to commit to change. Her followers and celebrity friends are all very supportive and happy for the 26-year-old influencer. Among them was Alexa, who directly left a reply on Mika's post.

"SLAYYY!!! Great job!!" Alexa wrote. Her comment wasn't left on read. Mika responded and said, "Salamat Alexa huhu proud of our journeys!"

But it's not a secret that there was (past tense!) a rift between the two—over love. Yes, Alexa's ex-lover, Nash Aguas, became Mika's long-term boyfie and is now Mika's husband. But as they say, time heals everything. All is well now between Alexa and Mika.

In a 2024 interview, Alexa told PEP.ph how happy she is to have reconciled with Mika, who's also one of her Goin' Bulilit buddies when they were kids. "Recent lang din [kami nag-follow-han]. Ayun nga, nagkaroon ng reconciliation again, [nag-usap kami.] And ayun, everything is good."

She continued, "I mean, time heals everything. Ito 'yung time namin, not forcing everything, but I'm just happy about how it feels."

So happy for you, Alexa and Mika! :)

Aside from their renewed friendship, Alexa is just a supportive girly to everyone, finding happiness and peace with their own bodies. In case you didn't know, Alexa has always been vocal about bodyshaming.

One time, Alexa slammed a commenter who told her, "Ang ganda mo pero may something talaga sa katawan mo na mejo off." She clapped back so hard that it became a heated online conversation between Alexa and the commenter.

Alexa's response? It read, "What a dumb argument. Me being a celebrity doesn't give you a free pass to be rude [insert smiley face]." It was one of the many moments that Alex openly advocated for people to avoid negatively commenting on other people's bodies.
