Actor-host Rocco Nacino, who has been linked to various women from show biz throughout his career, is happy dating someone who isn’t from the entertainment industry, but is just as into fitness and athletic activities.

Rocco and volleyball player Melissa Gohing have been together for over a year. Both can be regularly seen on each other’s Instagram pages, whether in pictures or videos of them going on a holiday or spending time with their fluffy dogs.

“Thank you for being supportive and bringing out the best in me,” said Melissa in a recent birthday video for her beau, depicting some of their best moments together. “Thank you for being the kind of boyfriend who prays for, and with me.”

Rocco, who recently turned 30, is shown enjoying some downtime with Melissa. There are clips of the adventurous couple scuba-diving, touring scenic locales and going out.

In February, the smitten Rocco, who hosts “The Healthy Juan,” posted a photo of them relaxing at a resort, with the caption, “I hope you had as much fun as I did, mi amor. To more adventures with you. Belated Happy Valentine’s Day.”

So, what elements help in making the lovebirds experience the perfect date? Rocco tells the Inquirer: “Good food, a nice camera to capture memories, and a romantic conversation in a quiet place—with a scenic ambiance.”—OLIVER PULUMBARIT
