Actor Matteo Guidicelli shared that his relationship with the parents of his wife, pop superstar Sarah Geronimo, is gradually improving.
In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Guidicelli briefly addressed the long-standing tension between him and Sarah’s parents, Divine and Delfin Geronimo, following the couple’s wedding in 2020.
“Things are getting better.”
Although he declined to elaborate further, Guidicelli expressed hope that relations will continue to improve over time.
“We won’t go into details but things are getting better, kumbaga.”
Reflecting on life lessons in recent years, the actor said the pandemic made him realize how important humility and kindness are.
“I think, at the end of the day, Kuya Ogs, ako, 35 na, but there’s something I realized just a few years especially with the pandemic. Anytime, God can take us anytime. Pwede ngayon, pwede bukas, pwedeng next month.”
He added that holding grudges is not worth it.
“I really believe that to be a good person is very important. Humility is very important. Kahit may kaaway tayo, huwag nating tagalan, kumbaga.”
When asked if he has been making efforts to reconcile, Guidicelli said that sometimes time and space are necessary.
“Oo, I think so, I think so. Minsan, time can only answer. Time and space, and being quiet na lang, kumbaga.”
He explained that while people cannot always change others, they can change themselves.
“At the end of the day, you know, we cannot change people. But we can change ourselves, kumbaga. So, ‘yun ‘yung pinaka-importante – baguhin mo na lang ‘yung sarili mo.”
Guidicelli also shared that he wishes happiness and good health for everyone involved.
“But you know, again, I wish everybody the best. I wish Sarah, me, and the family, everybody, the best, happiness, good health.”
The actor also said he prefers to stay quiet about personal matters and focus on his purpose.
“Yeah, tahimik (na lang), know your purpose, know you have a good conscience and know you’re busy doing other things.”
He concluded by saying that as long as intentions are good, explanations are not always necessary.
“As long as we’re doing positive things and knowing our intentions are correct, no need to explain. Just do what you have to do.”
