Six months after tying the knot, celebrity couple Toni Gonzaga and Paul Soriano shared they are still adjusting to each other’s work hours.
The director shared that they often argue about time because it bothers him that the television host is out working even in wee hours of the morning.
He said that even though Gonzaga has a 2 a.m. cut off, the latter would still go home late.
“There was a time, I would get home late na, mga 10 p.m. and she’s not home yet. She’s taping. Me, now being a husband, I don’t want her on the road at 2 a.m. I get a little bit weary,” he said.
Soriano added he would text Gonzaga but the latter admitted that she gets distracted from work when the director asks about her whereabouts.
“Siyempre di ba when you’re doing a soap, I want to get into the character kasi this is my first time in so many years that I’ll do a soap. If I get texts na where are you, nawawala ako kasi kailangan ko pala umuwi. Feeling ko nina-nag niya ako pero isang text lang naman yun. Nabo-bother talaga ako.”
But the director said he understands that long hours are part of Gonzaga’s profession and they compromise on this.
“I think the great thing about it was after ‘PBB’ (Pinoy Big Brother), we did like almost two weeks straight of just the two of us.”
Gonzaga, on her part, explained to her husband that this is what she loves to do but vows to be the best wife for him.
She said they did discuss about the issue and Soriano clarified he does not want Toni to stop from work and he respects her dreams.
“I told him, ‘Paul, did you know how many years I tried and I struggled to get into the business and to get into where I am right now? Did you know how many heartaches, pains, luha, dugo, pawis, rejections that I’ve been through just to experience all this?”
“He tells me naman na he’s not asking me to stop. He’s just asking for one little thing. He just wants me to be his wife. Tapos nag-usap kami na this is my heart’s desire. I also want to be the best wife for you but I also have dreams. Magmi-meet lang talaga kayo halfway.”
Gonzaga said she is thankful to be married to a supportive partner. (MNS)
