Sofia Andres on not getting married yet: ‘Love is different for everyone’

More than five years after they first caught each other’s eye at a party, Sofia Andres and Daniel Miranda are still going strong. The two have also been busy raising their three-year-old daughter Zoe Natalia whom they first introduced to the public in June 2020.

In her latest post, Sofia shared photos from their visit to a weekend morning market, walking around Makati City along with a caption addressing her thoughts on why she and Daniel have not yet announced any plans of marriage. 

In her post last February 20, The Iron Heart  actress wrote, “I’m taking this space to express how grateful I am for my own family. Excuse me for being extra mushy, but seeing this photo that I have of Daniel and Zoe makes my heart full — I’m happy with what God blessed me with. In fact, it’s a gift that I can’t take for granted. Our family is not perfect. Who said it’s gonna be easy right?

“‘So, Sofia when are you getting married?’ Many of you have asked me that. Honestly, I have always felt so the pressure to address that but I realized, I shouldn’t. It’s our love story to write to say the least. We are in a chapter where we learn to be patient with each other, respect each other’s freedom, and overcome challenges. It’s not an easy journey. There are tough times. There are good times. But it’s a beautiful time for us to grow with each other.”

The 24-year-old actress also told her almost 10M Instagram followers how grateful she already is for the love she has for her daughter and Daniel. 

“Don’t worry, I know that the time will come. I trust God’s plans for us. But I don’t want to disregard the fact that I wake up every morning feeling loved by both Daniel and Zoe. And honestly, that alone makes me feel so grateful. Love is different for everyone. It’s true. But for me, a ring on my finger shouldn’t define our love for each other. It is about how we choose to respect, understand, and forgive each other. More of it, it’s the effort that we put into our relationship and the love we have for our daughter.

“There is so much to learn about love itself. It’s not all about the flowers, the surprises, or the kilig. It’s a choice to grow with each other despite the challenges. Sure, there are a lot of people who wanted us to part ways while others want us to stay together. But at the end of the day, what matters the most is that we both have that love for each other to listen to our hearts and stay together. And that makes me feel so lucky to have someone who’d be willing to work it out with me.”

In another post the previous day, Sofia also shared appreciation for her other family members during a meal out with them.

“There is this beautiful quotation that says ‘family is everything’. And today, I finally understand the true definition of it.

“I’m writing this with so much love for my beautiful family. Yes, we are not perfect. There are bad days. There are misunderstandings. There are arguments. But then again, family is not about perfection. It’s about patience. It’s about compassion. It’s about forgiveness. And that, itself, is a form of unconditional love…

“I guess I can say that I take pride in that. We may not be rich. However, we are rich in love. I remember when someone called me ‘beggars can’t be choosers.’ Yes, at a very young age, it did hurt me. But looking back at it now, it actually says more about them than me. I am choosing to let that go. At the end of the day, I know that I am honest with my craft and never took advantage of people. My mind and heart are always in the right place because I want to do my best for my family.

“I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today if it wasn’t for them. They shaped me to become a better person. More of it, they are my source of strength and inspiration now that I have a family of my own.

“It’s true. Home is where the heart is. And I’m beyond grateful for my FOREVER home. 🏠 🫶🏻

Sofia is currently seen acting in the action series The Iron Heart along with Richard Gutierrez, Dimples Romana, Sue Ramirez, Pepe Herrera, and Jake Cuenca. Watch The Iron Heart during weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, TV5, and iWantTFC.
