- Derrick Monasterio was denied twice by Barbie Forteza for good reasons
- Their new movie ‘Almost A Love Story’ almost described their real-life situation
- Barbie reasons why she can’t be in a romantic relationship with Derrick
The loveteam Barbie Forteza and Derrick Monasterio is a hit for fans and on the screen, but will the same chemistry take effect in real life?
Barbie and Derrick have been on several projects together and their fandom continues to grow. They first appeared together on GMA Film’s The Road movie. It was then that the network noticed the potential of the young artists as loveteam and offered several projects such as Luna Blanca, Paroa: Ang Kuwento ni Mariposa and Anna Karenina. These became top-ranking shows of the Kapuso Network.
Currently, they have a movie together titled ‘Almost A Love Story’ that the title itself depicts the real relationship status of Barbie and Derrick. During the press conference, Derrick revealed that he was denied twice by Barbie.

Too Young and Too Similar
Derrick said that he regrets to accept the truth that they can’t be together in real life. They are stuck in the ‘friends only’ relationship.
Barbie, on the other hand, commented that there was once a high probability that they can be together off screen. They actually engaged in dating and going out together, but that was also the reason why she has to say no.
The first time she said no to the actor was during the Luna Blanca series. She believed that they were too young to start a relationship then. Although, Derrick did not lose hope and the two continued to go on dates. However, for the second time Derrick professed his love, Barbie said ‘No’ again.
The young actress believed in the phrase ‘opposite attracts.’ Which, in this case, is not applicable. The love tandem has too many similarities that they both ended up disagreeing. “Dumarating kasi ’yung time na nagka-clash kami kasi pareho kami ng gusto. So walang nagbibigay, alam mo ’yun, walang naggi-give way,” she said.
Barbie is already taken
Barbie is currently in a relationship with Jak Roberto which she announced on Instagram last August 2017. Jak Roberto is popularly known as the “Pambansang Abs.”
Somehow, it was a mutual understanding between Barbie and Derrick that they can’t be more than friends. The good thing about them is that they handled the situation maturely and continue to work together as professionals.
‘Almost A Love Story’ will be on cinemas nationwide starting April 11.
