Shyr Valdez Admits She's A Single Mom With Four Kids Who Have Different Dads

SHYR VALDEZ plays the trusted friend and caregiver of Gary Estrada in “Kokak”. She feels lucky that GMA-7 is giving her one show after the other. “Thank God kasi single mother ako of four kids, two girls, two boys,” she says. “My eldest is now 23 and is already working. Ang bunso naman is 14. Yung 17 year old ko, si Rafael, gustong mag-artista. He’s 5’11” and Beverly Vergel will be helping him.”

Shyr was only 13 when we met her through her mom, Cherry Cobarrubias, who was producing movies then. “I’m now 40,” she says. “I talked to all my kids and told them all my mistakes so they can learn from it. Iba-iba ang fathers nila, e. I lived such a sheltered life then. Over protective and strict si Mommy kaya nagrebelde rin ako. Now, I give my kids more freedom at hindi ko sila masyadong iniistriktuhan.”
