Toni Gonzaga opened up on the most difficult year she encountered in her five years of marriage with Paul Soriano.
Gonzaga and Soriano got married in June 2015 after being together for eight years.
In an interview with Matteo Guidicelli’s YouTube show Matt Runs, Gonzaga shared that her first year with Soriano was the “most difficult year of our entire marriage” so far.
She said that she found it hard to adjust because she lived with her parents for 30 years.
“When I got married, doon ko lang na-realize na it’s not just physically leaving your old house and your old life. Kasi I thought when I left my house, I already left. But no,” she said.
“My mind, my emotions were all still living with my parents because for 30 years I’ve lived with them. Programmed na ‘yung buong katawan mo na ito ‘yung katawan ko, ito ‘yung system ko. So for the first year of our marriage, I would always consult my parents. I would always run to them for advice,” she added.
She then explained that she had realizations along the way. She learned that the whole idea of her old self needed to change.
“That’s not who you are anymore. You are somebody’s wife and [the two of you] are one.”
“I respect my parents, and I love them very much, but there has to be [a boundary once you are married],” she said.
Even though some of her adjustments hurt her parents, Gonzaga said that they eventually accepted it.
Toni Gonzaga is known for her calm and collected personality, making her one of the most respected personalities in the industry. She recently celebrated her 20th anniversary in the showbiz industry.
She previously revealed that she is not affected by people who are trying to cancel her online.
Gonzaga and Soriano have a 4-year-old son together named Severiano Elliott.
