2. Tandem with Chuckie Dreyfus. Granada was romantically teamed up with Chuckie Dreyfus. The two starred in a number of movies and TV shows.
On social media, Dreyfus remembered their time together. The two even reunited as a team in Survivor Philippines in 2011.
3. Active lifestyle. Granada was known to be a sports buff. In her interview on GMA-7’s Tunay na Buhay, she said she loves to play badminton and volleyball.
4. She studied to become a pilot. Unknown to many, Granada graduated with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and was also training to be a pilot. In her interview on Tunay na Buhay in 2014, Granada explained the difference between flying and her course.
“These are two different things. A lot of people nami-mistaken nila yung aeronautics at saka flying is only one, no. Aeronautics is major in designing planes. And I did fly at the same time because iyon yung gusto kong gawin. So for me to fly a Cessna, at least nalalaman ko na yung parts ng plane,” she said.

“Isabel as a mother, she’s very, very loving. Maliban sa fact na kamukhang-kamukha niya yung anak niya. Sobrang mahal niya yung anak niya because even on Instagram, when I see her posting photos of kay Hubert lang, you can tell how proud she is of her son. You can see how her eyes light up when she talks about Hubert,” Dreyfus said.

“Happy Anniversary. Yeehee. Baby you know in our Hearts. That even if we get really busy. Our love never will it fade. I love you very much baby..#miamor..[Arnel Cowley] Te quiero con todo mi Alma Thank You for the love. Thank you for loving me and who I love .. What a blessed way to celebrate it.
