Silvia's mother complimented her daughter and said that she admired her for the person she had become. Her free-spirited personality and confidence were her key features.

"I feel so proud and satisfied. And her father, who's in heaven, he feels it too. We succeeded as parents and she's grown into such a positive person. Everything can be rose-tinted when you paint your life the color you want it to be," said Silvia's mother.

Chema told Silvia's mother that her words confirmed he made the right choice by falling for Silvia. Before they progressed, the Love is Blind: Mexico cast member disclosed that he had a daughter, to which Silvia's mother replied:

"Aw, what a beautiful blessing! Jose Maria [Chema], congratulations!"

Silvia showed her mother the message Antonella's mother sent her the previous night. She wished her the best and looked forward to meeting her in person. Silvia thought the message was kind and genuine.

"Love unites. It's what we've always said, love doesn't break things apart, love brings everything together," said Silvia.

Silvia's mother hoped the Love is Blind: Mexico couple would stay together and be happy.

"They gotta live together and get to know each other. They might see things differently and I guess we'll see the outcome in the upcoming weeks, won't we?" said Silvia's mother.
