“Huwag ka mag-alala, ‘pag official na, updated ka.”
This is what AJ Raval told persistent gossip mongers eagerly following her and Aljur Abrenica's every move.
Note that some of these so-called Marites even admonished her for associating with the hunk actor.
One said: “Bakit si Aljur? Kahit nakakasira sa career mo at naging masama ka pa sa ibang tao dahil sa kanya?”
AJ is unbothered.
She said in a recent video: “Hindi naman importante sa akin ang opinyon ng ibang tao. Ang importante, ang opinyon ng malapit na tao sa akin."
“Sana makita niyo si Aljur kung paano ko siya nakikita. Napakabuti ng puso ng taong ‘yun, kung paano niya mahalin ‘yung anak niya, ‘yung pamilya niya, kung paano siya tumingin sa mga tao — pantay-pantay,” she added.
Of course, she enjoys being with him as much as he does.
“Sobrang cool lang namin ni Aljur, masaya kami sa mga situation namin," she related.
So what's keeping them from making it official?
AJ reasoned, "May mga priorities at problema na dapat unahin.”
She didn't provide details but many believe she is pertaining to Aljur's messy breakup with Kylie Padilla, the mother of his two kids.
