Troy Montero, Aubrey Miles credit children’s role in decision to wed

After my dear friend Kris Aquino played matchmaker to Troy Montero and Aubrey Miles, the celebrity couple became inseparable despite all issues of jealousy and lovers’ arguments. But it took them 18 years before they decided to seal their love in marriage. Troy and Aubrey tied the knot in a civil wedding in June 2022. The actress says she didn’t pressure Troy to marry her as she was already content with whatever they had. Troy, on the other hand, shares their children – Hunter and Rocket – were among the reasons for them to realize the need to get married.

Theirs is a love story that has all the ingredients of a perfect romantic film. There’s a boy who has been meaning to meet a girl but is too shy to do so. Luckily, the boy mentions it to another girl, who happens to be the girl’s friend, and she makes a way for the boy and girl to get to know each other. Later on, love blooms between the two.

I am referring to Troy Montero and Aubrey Miles who met through my dear friend Kris Aquino. Troy was the guest on Krisy’s morning show at that time. Kris asked Troy of his showbiz crush which the latter answered with Aubrey’s name. What followed was Krisy calling Aubrey on national TV and asking permission to give her number to Troy.

Aubrey happened to be the guest in another show and she was in her dressing room when Troy came to personally introduce himself and requested a photo with her.

From that time on, Troy and Aubrey became inseparable despite all issues of jealousy and lovers’ arguments. But why did it take them 18 years before they decided to seal their love in marriage?

Aubrey revealed she still had hesitations to be wed in the church. “He also felt that I was not ready yet. May moment rin na biglang ready (na ako) tapos biglang hindi. Besides, I was not in a hurry (to get married) at that time.”

The actress stressed that she didn’t pressure Troy to marry her as she was already content with whatever they had. “Perhaps, he’s lucky because I’m not the demanding type, so there’s nothing to feel pressured about. I’m happy. I’m super happy with the situation. It’s like why should I change something if it’s okay already? I am happy with him,” remarked Aubrey.

Troy, on the other hand, said their children – Hunter and Rocket – were among the reasons for them to realize the need to get married. “I think, our kids (were) the ones who made us decide it’s time.”

Do they fight?

“During the first three years of our relationship, it was chaotic as if it was a war, and then on our sixth year – no, we were not living in yet that time – it was doubly chaotic because there was still jealousy,” replied Aubrey who also revealed that they started living in on their eighth year of being together.

Aubrey noticed a big change in the level of her patience and love for Troy when their romance reached a decade. “Iba na ‘yung level of love, patience and understanding n’yo (sa isa’t-isa), may stages pala. We thought we experienced those when we were in our first three, five years together.”

“Times have changed. We’re definitely more open compared to before na mas maselos ang isa sa amin,” she added.

Troy and Aubrey agreed that intimacy is important for a couple. “It’s one of the fun parts of the relationship. It’s important, maybe not a necessity that you have to always be sexy. For us, it’s a fun thing to do,” explained Aubrey.

Even their children, Aubrey shared, are used to seeing her in bikinis. “They don’t see any malice.”

The two also revealed about sleeping naked every time they travel without their children.

“Whenever we travel, when it’s just the two of us, we’re always naked at the hotel,” declared Troy.

“We sleep naked. It’s normal (for us) even in the bathroom, we talk naked,” added Aubrey.
