Kitchie Nadal bares reason why she relocated to Spain in 2017
In Monday's episode of 'Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,' the OPM icon shared that she moved to Madrid for love and to build a life with their children.
'Love. Of course, love. I married a Spanish guy, nagkakilala kami during Yolanda. We are both volunteers. And then 'yon, ang bilis na-develop,' Kitchie explained.
'He decided to stay and then we got to know each other more. And we got married. We had a baby. When we had a baby, we decided to move to Spain,' she added.
When asked about her life in Madrid, Kitchie says she is 'really happy' because she was able to focus on her family.
'I'm really happy. Kasi iba ang lifestyle doon eh. I was able to focus [on] my family, hands-on with the kids like everyone. Ang dami kong natutunan doon. House chores, lahat, multi-tasking. Talagang ano, I really love how I was able to focus on them,' she shared.
She added that she missed performing while in Spain and would hold intimate gigs there for the Filipino communities abroad.
"Syempre mas maliit siya but I really find it, for me fun nga siya kasi parang ang intimate and then parang feeling ko ang meaningful ng dating kasi parang you get to unite the Filipinos there," she said.
In 2020, Kitchie released a Spanish version of her hit single 'Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin,' titled 'No Me Digas.'
According to the Filipina singer, her husband Carlos Lopez helped her translate the lyrics into Spanish.
In the same "Fast Talk" interview, Kitchie was also asked if there was a chance for her to move back to the Philippines.
"Anything is possible. We're open to anything," she said.
Kitchie held a concert in the Philippines in June at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. She also held a concert in 2024 at the New Frontier Theater to mark her 20th anniversary in the music industry.
A pillar of OPM rock, Kitchie is the hitmaker behind 'Huwag Na Huwag Mong Sasabihin,' 'Same Ground,' 'Bulong !!!' and 'Makulay na Buhay.'

AZ Martinez wishes ex-BF Larkin Castor the best: 'I want to focus more on myself, career'
AZ Martinez revealed in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Wednesday that she has not been in contact with her ex-boyfriend, Larkin Castor, ever since she got out of Bahay ni Kuya. "Hindi na po kami nag-usap and right now focus talaga on what's ahead of me, but I wish him all the best talaga," she said. Tito Boy then brought up the letter that Larkin wrote for AZ while she was a housemate in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," adding that he was hoping she and Larkin would have the chance to talk after the show. AZ, for her part, admitted that she is not ready to speak to him. "Honestly, Tito Boy as of now, I'm not ready yet to talk, I wanna focus muna on... Like I'm not ready to talk to him, but I want to focus more on myself and career," she said. In Larkin's letter, he told AZ how proud he was of her and that he was watching her journey in "PBB." He also told her that he has not given up waiting for her, that she should be happy, and that he loves her. Days later, AZ wrote him a letter in response, telling him that she is finally letting him go. "Kung gusto niya pa rin maghintay Kuya, that's his choice na. Pero ayoko na po siya kontrolin, ayoko na siya pilitin, ayoko na siya habulin or guluhin pa Kuya. Kasi alam ko mas masasaktan, mas masisira lang siya if I leave him hanging," AZ had told Kuya in the confession room. AZ and her Kapamilya duo River Joseph ended their "PBB" journey as the fourth big placers. Following her stint in the show, AZ made her return to music school. She is also set to appear in "Bubble Gang" soon. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Does AZ Martinez think Ralph De Leon sent her romantic signals? Actress answers
Does AZ Martinez think Ralph De Leon sent her romantic signals? AZ appeared on Wednesday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' alongside her PBB duo, River Joseph, and she was asked about the varying interpretations of Ralph's behavior towards her, with some saying that he was romantic towards AZ. 'For me po, wala po talaga akong nakitang signal. I didn't get any mixed signals at all talaga kasi ever since after 'yung boys' night out, 'yung sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya, he cleared up everything to me,' AZ said. (For me, I'm not seeing any signals, I didn't get any mixed signals at all because ever since the Boys' Night Out inside the PBB house, he cleared up everything to me.) She appreciated Ralph's directness and how honest and straightforward he was with her about how he really feels. 'After the BNO, kinausap niya ako na he just wants me to know na may mga nasabi siya sa loob, 'yung confessions, gano'n niya. Pero he doesn't want me to think that there's more meaning to it,' AZ said. (After BNO, he talked to me. He just wants me to know about something while inside the house, in the confessions. But he doesn't want me to think that there's more meaning to it.) Per AZ, she was OK with the clarification. When asked if she was heartbroken over Ralph, AZ said no and explained the broken heart gesture she did was merely a joke. When asked if she liked Ralph, AZ said, 'I'm not sure if tatawagin kong like. Pero there were moments na kinilig din ako sa kanya. Kinilig. And I admire him for how he is.' (I'm not sure if it constitutes a like. But there were moments when I was kilig with him. I admire him for how he is.) AZ and Ralph are being shipped by the AzRalph fans because of their chemistry and frequent moments inside the PBB house. They started out as the RAZ duo, and their closeness eventually led to them getting teased often. Both of them later denied having feelings for each other, but how they acted towards each other when they got drunk made fans wish that the ship would sail. Following their exit from PBB, the two captured their first-ever selfie together outside the house, sparking kilig vibes among fans anew. They also made fans kilig with their first TikTok entry together, hopping on the "Lasik" trend song. In a previous interview, Ralph said he and AZ are 'very good friends' for now. — Carby Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News
