Bea Borres is mourning the passing of Kuya Alex, her longtime driver and companion, in an emotional tribute that revealed just how deeply their relationship had grown over the years.
The actress and content creator recently shared a heartfelt tribute for Kuya Alex, remembering him as someone who became much more than the person behind the wheel.
In her message, Bea described Kuya Alex as a best friend and a father figure, reflecting the close bond they developed during the years he accompanied her in both her personal life and work.
“You were more than just a driver to me,” Bea wrote in her tribute, according to reports. She added that she found both a best friend and a father in him.
From Driver to Family
Kuya Alex had become a familiar face to Bea’s followers through her social media content. He appeared in various vlogs and videos, often joining Bea during food trips, everyday activities, jokes and other personal moments.
Their relationship was also highlighted in one of Bea’s videos documenting a motorcycle gift for Kuya Alex. Another video featured an iPhone prank that Bea shared as part of his birthday celebration, showing how comfortable and affectionate their relationship had become.
For longtime followers, Kuya Alex was therefore not simply part of Bea’s working life. His repeated appearances gave viewers a glimpse of a relationship that had developed into something much closer to family.
A Special Memory With Baby Hopea
One of the most emotional parts of Bea’s tribute was a memory involving her daughter, Victoria Hope, whom she affectionately calls Hopea.
Bea included footage of Kuya Alex meeting her baby daughter for the first time, adding another layer of meaning to her farewell.
The moment was particularly significant because Kuya Alex had been present during an important period in Bea’s life as she transitioned into motherhood.
Bea ultimately ended her tribute with a message of love and gratitude for the man who had accompanied her through so many chapters of her life.
Bea Borres’ New Chapter as a Mother
The loss comes as Bea continues navigating a major new chapter in her life.
In December 2025, she gave birth to her daughter, Victoria Hope. The baby subsequently spent 44 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before finally going home with Bea in January 2026.
Bea has also spoken publicly about motherhood and the challenges surrounding her pregnancy and early experience as a mother. In a May 2026 interview with Boy Abunda, she discussed her pregnancy journey, her relationship with her daughter’s father, and the difficulties she faced during that period.
Against that backdrop, Kuya Alex’s presence appears to have been part of a particularly meaningful chapter in Bea’s life—making his passing even more difficult for the content creator.
More Than a Farewell
While details surrounding Kuya Alex’s death remain limited in the reports currently available, Bea’s tribute makes one thing clear: his role in her life went far beyond being her driver.
For years, he was part of her daily routines, online content and personal milestones. He was there during ordinary moments, celebrations and major changes in her life, including the arrival of her daughter.
Now, Bea is left remembering someone she described not simply as an employee, but as a friend and father figure.
“I love you, Kuya Alex. Thanks for everything,” Bea said in her emotional tribute.
For the followers who had watched their bond unfold online, Kuya Alex’s passing is also a reminder that some of the most meaningful relationships behind a celebrity’s public life are the ones audiences only gradually come to understand.
Rest in peace, Kuya Alex.
