Andrei, Venus hopes to get married

ANDREI Felix and girlfriend Venus Raj said settling down is already part of their plan even though their relationship is still young.

"Hindi na ako bumabata. Hindi din ako pumapasok sa isang relasyon para makipag lokohan. Tapos na ako dun eh. Nakilala na siya ng parents ko, ng buong pamilya ko, ng mga kaibigan ko. Time will tell, depende sa plano ng Diyos (I'm not getting any younger. I'm not in this relationship just to play around. I'm over it. I have already introduced her to my family and friends. Time will tell, in God's time)," he said in a CinemaNews interview.

Andrei and Venus met on the set of ABS-CBN's early morning magazine program "Umagang Kay Ganda" where they both work as the hosts. Since then, the two are publicly showing their love to each other on an off camera.

The couple denied that they are both guilty of public display of affection. Venus said they are just like any other ordinary couple. They are affectionate towards each other, but they know where and when to do so.

"Pwede nilang bigyan ng ibang kulay kung hindi kami mag boyfriend/girlfriend. Lahat naman tayo dumadaan sa ganyang stage ng buhay natin. Lahat naman tayo na-inlove or mai-inlove in the future (They can put malice to it if we're not a couple. We all go through that stage in life. We all fall in love or will fall in love in the future)," she said.

"Pag mahal mo yung isang tao, wala kang pakialam sa iisipin ng nasa paligid mo. As long as hindi ka nakakasakit ng kapwa mo, wala kang natatakapang kapwa at sa tingin mo naman eh tama yung ginagawa ninyo eh wala ka dapat na ikahiya (If you love a person, you don't care what other people will say. If you know that you are doing, you have nothing else to explain)," she said.

Andrei and Venus confirmed that they will attend the Star Magic Ball together this September. (Sunnex)
