Personal life
In 2021, Ilacad attended college at Treston International College, and finished her marketing degree with a dean’s lister distinction and an impressive general weighted average of 1.0.[90][91]
While inside the Big Brother house for Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10, Ilacad asked for the help of the show's resident psychologist Dr. Randy Dellosa regarding insecurities in terms of her body. After the consultation, it was revealed that the actress is possibly diagnosed with major depressive disorder caused by body dysmorphia.[92]
