Actress-producer Lovi Poe has been blessed with a husband who truly understands her ambitions. Monty Blencowe has given her complete freedom to pursue her showbiz career without any restrictions. With such unwavering support, Lovi is bound to reach greater heights in her career.

Working in Hollywood
Becoming part of the Hollywood film "Bad Man" and becoming a producer, it is still a work in progress for Lovi, on how she can balance between the two.
