Lovers Jak Roberto, 25, and Barbie Forteza, 22, have not yet discussed marriage.

“It’s still early, we’ve only been together for two years, eh,” the Kapuso actor smiled again.

Not even a joke about marriage.

“‘Tsaka she’s too young, isn’t she?”

What’s the best part of being the girlfriend of a Barbie Forteza?

“Our relationship did not hinder our work.

“Usually, what happens, isn’t it, when for example someone is building up a love team, they first avoid being showy, posting [on social media].

“The good thing about us is that we don’t have that.

“Then, society accepts us too… naks!” and Jak laughed.

Even though Jak and Barbie were not a love team back then, fans accepted that they had a relationship in real life.

“That’s it, eh. It’s like we didn’t expect it either.

“First, when we first started, we didn’t say anything at first.

“Because, we’re a little afraid of being pressured, we’re afraid of being judged.

“We are afraid that there will be many problems, many people will bash.

“So we, we were just low profile at that time.

“We don’t hide it, we don’t show it to people either.

“But since now that we seem to have joined the show again after  Meant To Be , no love teams are being built up, me too, I don’t have a leading lady that I need to promote.

“So now, it’s become more… you know that, smooth, just relaxed, everything is just calm,” Jak explained with a smile.

Jak and Barbie reunited in GMA-7’s primetime series  Kara Mia .

BIRTHDAY GIFT

PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) spoke to Jak at the GMA Network Center on July 30, Tuesday, a day before Barbie’s 22nd birthday.

What is his gift to Barbie?

“What’s the matter, usually… he’s not a materiosa, he likes to have dinner-dinner. He wants quality time.

“There is only one passion, Wagyu beef.

“It’s a bit pricey because we’re only there when there’s a special occasion, so that’s it.”

She doesn’t have any other material things to gift Barbie?

“You know, I stalked her on Instagram, huh!

“I look at what he likes and the posts he likes.

“So far, nothing, eh! I haven’t seen anything yet… he’s all, all now, there is.

“Because, when he liked his sister in Chicago, he immediately messaged her to order her like this, order her like that.

“So, I don’t have a chance anymore so I’m the one to buy.”
