“Hindi naman ako yung bata pa lang, ang biggest dream ko is to get engaged, to be married. Kasi alam ko talaga, ang babae darating ang panahon to settle down, magpapakasal,†Toni said in an interview during the press conference for “Pinoy Big Brother All In†on Wednesday, April 24.
The topic of Toni's marital status came about when the TV host-actress was asked if she's jealous of friend and fellow “Pinoy Big Brother†host Bianca Gonzalez, who recently got engaged to basketball player JC Intal.
“Walang inggit factor,†she said. “I'm happy for Bianca, this is her year, this is her moment, so I'm giving it to her.â€
The “Starting Over Again†star further said her boyfriend direk Paul is also “very, very happy for Bianca kasi alam naman namin na andito kami sa age na we're all heading towards that direction.â€
'God's timing is perfect talaga'
Toni admitted there was a point she got tired of being asked about getting engaged with Paul. But after a while, she has gotten used to the idea that her relationship with the her director-boyfriend is of interest to people.
“At least they are interested to know kung kailan. Pero so far, wala pa talaga,†she said.
The TV host added, “Kasi that's what I realized when we did 'Starting Over Again.' Ang tagal-tagal na panahon na gusto ko makatrabaho si Piolo, inabot ng 13 years bago kami nagkatrabaho. Tignan mo, naging maganda naman ang resulta.â€
Toni is referring to the movie she did with Piolo Pascual earlier this year that became a box-office hit.
