Confirmed na couple na si Bela Padilla at ang tech entrepreneur and CEO na si Martin Tan.

Ang kumpirmasyon ay nanggaling mismo sa dalawa nang makapanayam sila ng content creator na si Johnny K. habang namimili sa Legazpi Sunday Market in Makati City.

Inilabas ng vlogger ang naturang panayam sa kanyang reel series na Meet Cute with Johnny K.

“Excuse me, are you guys a couple?” tanong ni Johnny K.

“Yes,” mabilis namang sagot ni Bela.

When asked how they first met, Martin revealed that they were introduced through a common friend.

For Bela, naging instant connection daw ang pagkakahawig ng interests nila, especially when she found out that he is also a movie lover.

“He said he likes movies, and I love movies also, so I was very, very excited when he started talking about this,” kuwento ng aktres.

Eight months na pala ang kanilang relationship, ayon kay Martin.

“So, what’s your favorite thing about her?” tanong ni Johnny K. sa tech entrepreneur.

“Her brain, and she’s funny and beautiful,” sagot ni Martin.

When it was Bela’s turn to share what she likes about her boyfie, she described him as someone who is always game to try new things — even early-morning market trips.

“He’s game to try everything, like going to markets even if it’s early. What else? He is pogi,” nakangiting sabi ni Bela.

“I don’t wanna say it because people will start DM-ing (direct message) you,” biro pa ng aktres.

One of the things Bela appreciates most about Martin is how he makes an effort to cheer her up whenever she is going through something. Kapag alam daw nito na may pinagdaraanan siya, he would sometimes plan a trip for them.

“When he knows I’m going through something, he’ll plan a trip. Yeah, I think beach trips, that’s my fave,” ani Bela.

Simple gestures naman ang nagpapasaya kay Martin. Isa sa mga paborito niya ay ang little notes na iniiwan ni Bela sa kanyang work bag.

SOBRANG nag-enjoy kami sa anniversary concert ng mag-asawang Dingdong Avanzado and Jessa Zaragoza na Sa Aking Puso held last Sunday, September 13, at the New Frontier Theater.

Ang nasabing sold-out concert ay bahagi ng kanilang 25th wedding anniversary celebration.

It was definitely a night to remember, lalo na nga sa fans ng OPM couple na nasubaybayan din ang kanilang love story from the very beginning.

Sa nasabing concert, inalala nina Dingdong at Jessa ang simula ng kanilang pag-iibigan at ikinuwento rin nila kung paano nila na-realize na ang isa’t isa ang ‘the one’ para sa kanila.

Siyempre, kinanta nila ang ilan sa kanilang mga biggest hits na talaga namang sobrang ikinatuwa at tinilian ng audience, tulad ng Basta’t Kasama Kita, Tayong Dalawa, Hindi Na Bale, Baliw Na Puso, Ibigay Mo Na and Bakit Pa.

In fairness, wala pa ring kupas ang singing voice ng mag-asawa as they delivered powerhouse performances and emotional moments that kept the audience entertained from beginning to end.

Among the major highlights was Jessa’s lively ABBA medley with comedy queens Ethel Booba and K Brosas. Talaga namang biritan kung biritan ang tatlo.

Hinangaan din ng crowd ang love songs medley ni Dingdong with Tim Pavino and Noel Cabangon.

Kabilang din sa mga guests ang nag-iisa nilang anak na si Jayda Avanzado, na nag-perform kasama ang kanyang mga magulang. Pati sina Pops Fernandez and Randy Santiago ay present din.

Pinatunayan din ng mag-asawa na malakas pa rin ang kanilang chemistry at kinikilig pa rin ang mga fans sa kanila. Nakakatuwa rin na kitang-kita talaga ang malaking pagmamahal nila sa isa’t isa even after 25 years of marriage.
