MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya couple Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo have no plans to move in together anytime soon.
Daniel said during "The House Arrest of Us" Finale Bloggers Conference on Wednesday that he and Kathryn will get married before becoming a live-in couple.

“Hindi pa siguro, hindi pa kami handa magsama sa isang bahay. Magpakasal muna kami at'saka kami magsasama sa isang bahay,” he said.
Daniel explained that Kathryn still has her niece Lhexine to take care of while he has his own siblings to watch over.
“Dahil si Kathryn nandiyan pa 'yung si Lhexine, 'di ba? Bata pa si Lhexine. Siya ang ate no'n. Binabantayan niya pa. Kagaya ko naman, nandiyan pa 'yung mga kapatid kong mga babae. Binabantayan ko pa rin. Marami pa kaming bantayang magaganap so magpapakasal muna kami.”
Daniel previously said that he plans to tie the knot with Kathryn before hitting his 30s.
“Ang nakikita ko kasi talaga siguro after three or four 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 25-year-old said in October last year.
Asked if this time frame has changed due to the pandemic or news of other celebrities’ engagements, the couple said they are in no rush to get married.
“Hindi namin pwedeng biglain ‘yung mga sarili namin, ‘di ba? Sa amin ah. Siyempre iba iba naman trip nating lahat. Pero kami kasi parang nakaplano eh. Nakalista ‘yung dapat namin gawin, ‘di ba, para hindi rin kami ma-rattle sa mga desisyon na gagawin namin. Kasi kapag ka binigla niyo ‘yung isa’t isa, doon papasok ‘yung mga problema eh,” Daniel said.
Meanwhile, Kathryn said that they are not pressured by others to get wed immediately.
“Iba-iba tayo ng timing lahat. Kami siguro kumportable kami na bago tumalon sa ganyang klaseng buhay kailangan ready kami because ayaw namin masira ‘yung relationship just because hindi kami ready pareho,” she said.
