Meray Yamada has returned to public attention after appearing alongside his former girlfriend, Bea Borres, and their daughter, Victoria Hope, in a family video shared in October 2026. The Filipino-Japanese businessman and content creator joined Borres and their child for a Toy Story-themed appearance, drawing renewed interest in his family and relationship with the actress.
Yamada is the son of businessman Atsushi Yamada and Imelda “Mhel” Pechera, whose family is connected to the logistics company iShip Logipack Inc. His personal life became widely discussed after Borres announced her pregnancy in August 2025 and Yamada publicly identified himself as the child’s father.
Who Are Meray Yamada’s Parents?
Meray Yamada was born into a Filipino-Japanese family. His father, Atsushi Yamada, and mother, Imelda Pechera, have been identified in biographical reports as his parents.
His family is associated with iShip Logipack Inc., a Philippine logistics and packaging business founded by his parents. Yamada has been identified as the company’s sales vice president.
Although Yamada has gained recognition through social media, his parents have generally maintained a lower public profile. His mother, however, became part of the public discussion surrounding his relationship with Borres and their daughter.
Meray Yamada’s Mother Helps Raise His Daughter
Imelda “Mhel” Pechera received public attention after Bea Borres discussed her role in caring for Victoria Hope during a May 8, 2026, appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
During the interview, Borres explained that she was co-parenting with Yamada’s mother rather than directly with her former boyfriend.
“Wala akong masabi kay Tita. Tita, if you’re watching, napakabait mo… pero ‘yung anak mo talaga…” Borres said.
The actress also discussed the difficulties she experienced during her pregnancy and her disappointment with Yamada’s involvement at that time.
Pechera’s support became an important part of Borres’ account of raising her daughter. Despite the former couple’s disagreements, Borres acknowledged the assistance she received from Yamada’s mother.
Meray Yamada and Bea Borres’ Relationship
Yamada’s relationship with Bea Borres became a major topic of public discussion after the actress announced her pregnancy on August 12, 2025.
Two days later, Yamada publicly identified himself as the father of her expected child through a social media comment that was subsequently deleted.
“Things may not have worked between Bea and I, but I never said I didn’t want to be there for our baby,” Yamada said.
“I may not have handled our situation the best as of late, but walking away has never been an option for me.”
“I’m here. And I’m going to do whatever it takes to be the best father I can be,” he added.
Borres later confirmed that their relationship had ended during her pregnancy. She welcomed their daughter, Victoria Hope, in December 2025 and publicly announced her arrival in January 2026.
Meray Yamada’s Daughter Victoria Hope
Victoria Hope, also known as Hopea, is the daughter of Meray Yamada and Bea Borres.
The child has appeared in family-related social media content shared by her parents. Their videos have attracted attention because the former couple previously discussed their difficult separation publicly.
In September 2026, Borres and Yamada appeared together in online content, including family-related videos featuring their daughter.
Yamada also attended an October event at the TikTok Philippines office in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, where Borres introduced products from her Peaboo Baby business.
Their appearances together prompted questions about whether they had resumed their romantic relationship, although neither publicly confirmed a reconciliation.

The video followed several other public appearances involving the former couple and their child.
As of November 2026, Yamada and Borres continue to appear together in family-related content. Their daughter Victoria Hope remains part of their shared family life, while no confirmed announcement has established that the former couple have resumed their romantic relationship.
