Aww! Ellen Adarna And Her Kids Enjoy The Beach With John Lloyd Cruz And Isabel Santos

The summer heat has officially arrived, and Ellen Adarna is already in beach mode. The actress headed to Amanpulo in Palawan with her kids, Elias and Liana, where they reunited with John Lloyd Cruz and his girlfriend, Isabel Santos.

In a series of Instagram Stories, Ellen shared glimpses of the get-together. It looked like a laid-back family beach trip—complete with snorkeling in Palawan's clear waters, basking under the sun, and sharing meals and drinks while catching up.

Ellen also shared a photo of herself taking a quick break on the beach. "Naka selfie kc [kasi] naka sub si @isabelreyessantos," the actress wrote.

True enough, the next photo Ellen shared showed Isabel with Ellen's children holding hands together while walking in the shore. 

Another story delighted fans as it featured John Lloyd, confirming the reunion between the actor and his family. In the clip, John Lloyd is seen chatting with his son Elias while attempting to catch a crab along the shore.

"Ang hirap daw kumuha ng crabs," John Lloyd told Elias while having a fun time in the background.

It's common knowledge that despite their past relationship, Ellen and John Lloyd have remained civil with one another as they continue to co-parent their son, Elias. Over the years, the two have shown that maintaining a respectful relationship for their child remains a priority.

Ellen herself has even commended the actor for his role as a parent, openly praising him for consistently showing up for their son. She previously described John Lloyd as both a reliable provider and a present father in Elias' life.

"With JL (John Lloyd), 'day, wala talaga ako masabi. I have nothing but good things to say about him, you know. We had differences in the past but I respect him because he is a very good provider. He is honest and he is a very present father," Ellen shared in one of her recent Instagram Story videos where she addressed a question from a fan asking whether she and the actor are in good terms.

Elias has also been seen spending time with his father over the years, especially during special occasions and holidays. Ellen and John Lloyd's co-parenting dynamic occasionally surfaces in family moments they share online.

Just last year, Ellen and John Lloyd were even spotted together while attending their son Elias' piano recital. 

Elias has also spent time with John Lloyd and his girlfriend, Isabel. In 2023, the Internet noticed Elias celebrating Isabel's 33rd birthday with the couple, offering another glimpse into their blended dynamic.

Moments like these continue to give fans a glimpse into the blended dynamic between Ellen, John Lloyd, and their families. And from the looks of it, the beach trip was a pretty memorable one!
