“When you love someone, you support all their dreams. And you do your best to be beside them when they want to grow. So this passion of Jom, at first,I didn’t understand. Of course racing is dangerous. But then, when the last time he raced, nakita ko naman how much he loved it. And after the first two rounds, when he opened the window, makikita mo sa face niya, it’s like a kid in Disneyland. So how can you stop someone from doing that right? I support him 100%, all the way.

“Whatever he wants to do in anything. I never made kontra with anything he wants to do, or anything he wants to pursue. Actually sabi kong ganun, ‘When are you going to teach me?’ (laughs). But the only problem is, when the vehicle is going super, super fast, I fall asleep (laughs),” she shared.

“From my experience, it’s true. I think kasi with me and Jom we were first boyfriend and girlfriend right? I think every time I had a different relationship after him, I was always looking for something. Yun pala siya yung hinahanap ko talaga. Kasi when we were young, we were so childish and so innocent pa. So I think we had to go through all of our experiences to become the person we are today. I believe if we ended up getting married when we were young, we would’ve split up. It wouldn’t have worked. Kasi we both have to experience life. We’re both wild and free eh ‘di ba?” she said.

“Never. Never in my wildest dreams (laughs). It’s a mutual decision. Maybe because we cannot be without each other. Like we can’t sleep apart, we can’t eat meals if we’re not together. Pareho kami. Hindi siya makakain pag hindi ako kasama and hindi ako makakain pag ‘di ko siya kasama so it’s a given na (laughs),” she added.

“We wanted Vegas, actually it’s funny kasi ang gusto namin ang magkakasal sa amin si Elvis. Kasi Jom used to say to me, ‘Can’t help falling in love with you.’ It’s going to be very simple lang. It’s just a few family members. Sa honeymoon, we were discussing either Paris or in Jerusalem,” she revealed.
