She maintains an excellent relationship with her half-siblings and the other biological children of the eternal Camisa 10. Her mother, Assíria, was unable to say goodbye to her ex-husband.

“One life with you just doesn’t seem to be enough. I wanted more time,” wrote Gemima in a post regretting the lack of the idol. “I am so grateful that you have chosen me as your daughter and I have chosen you as my father. Between us it was love at first sight. My love for you is everlasting.”
