Separated couple Max Collins and Pancho Magno have been putting on a united front for the sake of their son, Skye Anakin.
Max shared that she and Pancho have chosen to remain friends in order to provide a stable and loving environment for their son.
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) had a chat with Max at the Belo Beauty Suite in Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City, just before the GMA Gala 2023, on Saturday, July 22, 2023.
The GMA-7 actress said, "We really are. We're best friends. And, you know, our son has his mommy and his daddy. Even though we're not together.
"So, that's fine. At least, he gets the best of both worlds at the same time. He gets the best version of me."

Aware that their united front is important in successful parenting, Max and Pancho have been present together in all significant family events.
The most was Skye Anakin's birthday celebration last July 6, 2023, at the PlayLab in Robinsons Galleria Ortigas.
Max happily recounted the great time everyone had at the joyful celebration attended by family and close friends.
She told PEP.ph, "It was really fun. It was a safari-themed. We love animals. So, we enjoyed it very much."

When asked about how she and Pancho divide their responsibilities as parents, Max said, "It depends who has work. If I have work, he's with Pancho. If Pancho has work, he's with me."
The Kapuso actress added that both their parents (Skye's grandparents) help care for their boy, "His lolas are there also to help him out. So, we have a good rapport."
MAX COLLINS: ENJOYING MOTHERHOOD
Skye Anakin has just turned three, and Max admitted that looking after her energetic toddler can be exhausting at times.
But then again, "I'm enjoying it very much. I love being a mom. It's so fulfilling and fun. And very tiring. But, pumapayat ako.
"Yung energy, no? Yung energy ng anak ko is ibang level. So, it's good. I have to keep up with him. So, it keeps me fit."
"[Skye is] very, very kumukulit. In a good way. But, like, thank God I'm fit. Because if not, I can't keep up with him. He can run faster than me.
"And, yeah, it's just been crazy. Crazy. But, in a good way."
