They eventually separated after twelve years,[12] but their relationship produced one son, Hubert Thomas Jericho Granada Aguas.[13] She married Arnel Cowley in 2015,[13] and was a stepmother to his daughters: Sarah, a young model and Abbey Cowley.[14]

Around 2006, Granada underwent oophorectomy of her right ovary after a cyst had developed; she again had to undergo the operation in 2008 after two cysts had grown on her left ovary, which were accidentally discovered during a removal of a benign tumor in her uterus.[15]
