Dingdong Dantes and Charo Santos-Concio share insights on marriage, deep connections, and taking risks
On Friday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Charo spoke about her marriage to her late husband, Cesar Concio, who was older than her.
According to Charo, the age difference between them didn't matter to her.
'I was in love. The opinion of the rest of the world didn't matter. I felt very secure with his love, and that was the only thing that [mattered] when I look back,' she said.
Reflecting on her life, Charo described herself as having taken risks all her life.
'Ang tapang ko, 'no? I've been taking risks all my life, I think, in the professional path as well as my personal life,' she said.
Meanwhile, Dingdong, who has been married to Marian Rivera for 10 years, offered his perspective on what he knows about marriage for sure.
According to the Kapuso Primetime King, while exciting times are important, what's more crucial are the deep connections formed — and "not just between husband and wife, but also between you and your kids,' he said.
He adds, 'these deep connections, they happen every day constantly because of the choices that you make. You discover new things about each other and then you build on that. Mas lumalalim lang talaga 'yung samahan ninyo at respeto sa bawat isa."
Dingdong and Charo are starring in the upcoming film, 'Only We Know,' which was presented to them seven years ago.
The film also marks Charo's first time doing a romance film.
'Sabi ko nga kay Dong in some of our conversations, 'This is also a risk, but maybe more of a risk for you.' Kaya tinanong ko siya, 'Sigurado ka? Gagawin mo talaga 'to?'' Charo said.
She also clarified that they are not a love team.
'We're two professionals who got together and we breathed life into this beautiful narrative. I'm proud to say that we were able to create a love team in Betty and Ryan,' she said. — Carby Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News
