Could there be a showbiz union sweeter than that of Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos? The stars of ABS-CBN’s George and Cecil and box-office hits Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo and Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo are adorable as reel partners, but they are even more lovable in real life, teasing each other, raising a daughter together, and basically being the picture-perfect pair. The award-winning actress has candidly admitted to Cosmo.ph that the best thing about being married to Ryan is “waking up every morning seeing the face of the person na makakasama [mo] nang pang-habangbuhay.” Awww.
Now it’s Ryan’s turn to shower praises on his lovely wife. Read on to learn five things that makes the actor and host of TV’s Talentadong Pinoy totally sold on his one and only Juday!
1. She lets him do his thing, even if it’s something as dangerous as car drifting.
“Very supportive siya kasi nakikita naman niya na nag-e-enjoy ako. Plus the fact na it's an excuse for the boys to get together, and for her it’s an excuse to get the girls together, because while the boys are at the racetrack the whole day, the girls are just chit-chatting in the kitchen. Pagdating ng gabi nag-iinuman na ‘yan. It makes for a good social excuse.”
2. She’s totally “star complex”-free.
“Kami ni Juday we know where real life begins and where work ends. And I think that's very important. Naniniwala kami na ang artista, artista lang sa set. Pag-alis mo sa set hindi ka na artista.”
3. She lets him wear the pants in the relationship (although she wears them sometimes, too).
“One of the things that we can relate to in George and Cecil is that we're not so sensitive with gender roles. I mean, it's the new millennium. We're not in the 1800s anymore. We both work, we both have money, we both make decisions. It's a partnership. ‘Yun nga lang siguro, the more normal guy things that are decided on like carpentry, electronics, electric stuff at home, normally lalaki [ang gumagawa]. But then it’s not because of gender sensitivity that it’s like that. It's just that mas maalam lang ako sa ganun. There are some decisions also, like decisions on purchases that have to be made: if she’s there, she's the one making the decisions; if I'm there, I'm the one making the decisions. But really, there's no ‘pants in the relationship.’ Just more like whoever’s in the line of fire.”
4. She cracks him up.
“To get in touch with our old selves before we got married, inaasar lang namin ang isa't isa. We try to tease each other. Kukurutin namin ‘yung isa't isa just to spice things up, just so you have something to laugh about. Ayaw naman namin maging parang Pleasantville. You don't wanna be boring [and rigid].”
5. So far, it’s been a fun ride with her.
“It's fun because we prepared for it. We bought a house we wanted to fix up. We enrolled our daughter in a school we wanted her to go to. It's fun because we’re sharing the experience now. That’s what I love about [being married to her].”
