Kathryn Bernardo, a well-known actress, has brushed aside concerns that her popular love team with her boyfriend, Daniel Padilla, will diminish as she takes on more solo projects, including the upcoming film ‘A Very Good Girl.’
In an interview with the media, Bernardo acknowledged that the landscape of the Philippine film industry has evolved, and her focus is on her movies sparking meaningful conversations.
“Hindi ko ‘yun iniisip kasi … iba na ‘yung sitwasyon natin. Basta lalabas sila sa sinehan at pag-uusapan ‘yung movie, idi-discuss ‘yung mga opinions nila, ‘yun masaya na kami. More than that hindi ko na iniisip,” Bernardo stated.
She stressed that her decision to pursue solo projects was a joint one with Padilla, and she praised his unwavering support during the making of ‘A Very Good Girl.’
“Naging mutual ‘yun decision na ‘yun sa ‘min and ‘yung project ni Deej kailangan niyong abangan. Sobrang ganda rin nung material na ‘yun,” the actress remarked. “Importante, magkasama kami off cam pero sobrang supportive lang siya rito sa ‘kin. Happy siya kasi alam niyang sobrang saya ko, everytime na nagsu-shoot ako for this movie.”
“Nakakatuwa lang na sana mag-open din ‘to ng doors, hindi lang sa ‘kin kung ‘di sa ibang mga projects na ginagawa pa ngayon ng ABS.”
When asked about the possibility of marriage, Bernardo responded, “Wala, tagal pa kasi ngayon andito kami sa peak namin ni Deej na kailangan naming magtrabaho especially may bahay na pinapagawa, ang daming gastos. Parang alam din namin sa sarili namin na hindi pa time and open kami about it.”
“Iba-iba naman ‘yung time ng lahat so ngayon, attend lang kami ng kasal, kunin niyo muna kaming bridesmaids, okay lang ‘yun. …He respects my timing din. Sa akin, alam ko rin na hindi pa ako ready, ayaw kong pilitin ‘yung mga ganoon. Importante masaya tayo ngayon, take it day by day.”
The couple, popularly known as KathNiel, has been in a relationship for nearly 11 years.
In addition to ‘A Very Good Girl,’ Bernardo will star in the historical film ‘Elena 1944,’ directed by award-winning filmmaker Olivia Lamasan under Black Sheep.
Meanwhile, Padilla is set to star in a dark thriller and buddy comedy for his film comeback.
It was also announced that Bernardo and Padilla will collaborate on a new movie with director Cathy Garcia-Molina.
