Celebrity couple Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo opened up about their love story and what made them realize they had found “the one” in each other.

"Para sa akin 'yung nakita ko kung papaano niya mahalin 'yung anak kong si Jazz, na trineat niya rin na parang sa kanya rin," Jennylyn shared in an interview with Cosmopolitan Philippines.

Jazz is Jennylyn's son with her previous partner, actor Patrick Garcia.

Meanwhile, Dennis said it was Jennylyn’s nurturing nature that made him realize Jennylyn was the one.

"Ako naman siguro 'yung pagiging maalaga niya sa pamilya. 'Yung talagang lahat gagawin niya, ibibigay niya lahat ng kailangan. 'Yung pagiging maasikaso sa kanila, 'yung pagbibigay ng needs sa kanilang lahat," he remarked.

The couple was also asked about the small and random things the other person does that make them feel loved. 

For Dennis, it’s Jennylyn’s organization and attention to detail. "Mahilig siyang mag-ayos ng mga gamit ko. Lahat ng mga kailangan ko talagang sigurado na hindi ko mami-miss dahil inayos na niya yun. Na-appreciate ko ‘yun kasi dun mo nakikita kung gaano ka inaalagaan nung tao di ba?" he said. 

Meanwhile, Jennylyn finds charm in Dennis’ small yet thoughtful gestures. "Ako siguro, ‘yung maliliit na bagay like nagre-refill siya ng water. Tapos alam niyang kailangan ko. [Like] nanonood ako ng TV kahit hirap na hirap [akong manood], kasi minsan tinatamad akong kunin ‘yung mga bagay na kailangan ko. Siya ihahatid niya na lang, 'Glasses mo para makapanood ka ng maayos,'" the actress relayed. 

Dennis and Jennylyn tied the knot on November 15, 2021. The Everything About My Wife stars got married in a civil wedding in Quezon City. 

In a  recent interview with Boy Abunda, the couple were asked how they sustain their relationship through the years. Dennis shared: "Ini-enjoy namin 'yung journey. Pwede ko siyang i-compare sa isang video game na maraming stages, pero nakakatuwa bawat stage na matatapos mo, and inaaabangan mo kung ano pa 'yung mga next stages na matatapos mo, and mga iba pang pangarap na gusto niyong mangyari." 

Jennylyn added that small romantic gestures keep their bond strong. "Siguro hindi namin kinakalimutan ang isa't isa, 'yung magpapakilig pa rin ang isa't isa. Importante na inaaalagaan ko pa rin siya, bukod sa inaalagaan ko 'yung buong pamilya. Oras para sa kanya, oras para sa aming dalawa," the actress highlighted.
