Content creator Donnalyn Bartolome has officially revealed that actor JM de Guzman is her boyfriend, following a determined courtship.
In a social media post on Saturday, Bartolome detailed how De Guzman rekindled her belief in love, which she thought was lost forever.
“I thought we were only going to be friends. I was almost certain,” Bartolome began. “If everyone knew in detail how I felt, and everything that transpired, you’d feel the same. But the stars had something else written in them.” During their exclusively dating phase, the couple exchanged promise rings, a symbol of their commitment when they were ready to officially become a couple.
Bartolome praised De Guzman’s unwavering efforts over the past year and a half, which eventually won her over. “His determination caused him to persist… until one day I just could no longer resist,” she shared. “He awakened the love I didn’t know I still had to give to someone again, and even though I no longer believe in forever…I believe in Now.”
She further elaborated on how De Guzman restored her faith in love. “Spell it backwards and that’s what he has done, the match to capture my heart, I declare out loud: Juan Miguel won,” Bartolome wrote, playfully highlighting De Guzman’s impact on her life.
Public interest in their relationship has been high since October 2022, when Bartolome threw a surprise birthday party for De Guzman. The actor, touched by the gesture, remarked at the time that whoever Bartolome’s boyfriend would be is one lucky guy.
