Meanwhile, Paul Jake married Kaye in December 2016. The couple has two children now as well, Joaquin and Iñigo.

In an interview with Karen Davila in August 2024, Kaye shared that she never had second thoughts about relocating to Cebu after marrying Paul Jake.

"Never akong nagdalawang isip," she said. "It was really my dream to have my own family. As early as 18 sabi ko when I have my own family, I think I'll stop acting because I want to concentrate with my family. At least ngayon hindi naman ako nag-stop, I'm still here, nag lie low lang."

Kaye also expressed how much she enjoys her more relaxed lifestyle in Cebu. "I love it here in Cebu, very laid-back, simple life, everything is near. I would drive my kids to school. Mago-grocery ako mag-isa. 'Yung buhay na pinangarap ko natupad lahat dito," she stated.
