'Not soon, pero soon': Daniel Padilla wants to get married before turning 30

MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya star Daniel Padilla plans to tie the knot in the coming three or four years before hitting his 30s.

The 25-year-old revealed this tidbit during the media conference for his digital concert “Apollo” this coming Sunday.

“Ang nakikita ko kasi talaga siguro after 3 or 4 years, basta before ako mag-30. ‘Yun ang gusto ko. Ayaw ko masyadong patagalin na umabot na sa range ng 30, kasi 'pag tumapak na ng 30, ambilis na naman. So sana before 30 maging swabe na ang lahat at matuloy ang kasal,” the actor-singer told reporters Tuesday.

Daniel said that over the lockdown, he and Kathryn had been feeling the adulting stage. The couple is already managing their own finances and other needs.

“So doon ko nakikita kay Kathryn na handa na siya. Handa na siya maging asawa ko,” he quipped.

Daniel also responded to marriage rumors that arose over the cryptic posts of the couple’s mothers Min Bernardo and Karla Estrada, which turned out to be a promotional gimmick for their upcoming sitcom.

“Siyempre doon sa ginagawa naming show, gano'n ang tema. Pero kami ni Kathryn, hindi pa. Not soon, pero soon.”
