Janine Gutierrez disclosed that she has no plans of settling down anytime soon as she reminded fans that everyone has their own timeline in life.
The actress, who recently turned 33, spoke about this in a vlog where she answered several questions from her fans, as seen on her YouTube channel yesterday, Oct. 22. One of the questions was: “At 33, are you ready to settle down?”
“This is so funny kasi because this is a question that girls get every time they celebrate their birthday, and kanya-kanya talaga siya (they celebrate their birthdays, and it really varies for everyone.). For other people, they’re happy to get married younger and other people don’t even want to get married at all,” she responded.
“Ako, personally, it’s not in the plans for this year. Wala pang plans,” she added. (For me, personally, it’s not in the plans for this year. [I have] no plans yet.)
Gutierrez then addressed fellow women and stressed that they should not feel pressured to get married just because they reached a certain age.
“I hope you don’t feel pressured or left behind dahil lang ang daming nagtatanong. When it comes down to it, you’re always on your own timeline and it’s up to you kung anong gusto mong gawin with your life,” she stated. “To the people asking naman, ‘wag naman kayong mang-pressure. Kanya-kanyang journey talaga ‘yan and there’s no correct timeline in life.”
(I hope you don’t feel pressured or feel left behind just because a lot of people are asking [about your marriage plans]. When it comes down to it, you’re always on your own timeline and it’s up to you whatever you want to do in your life… To the people asking, please do not put pressure on others. Everyone has their own journey and there’s no correct timeline in life.)
Inevitably, Gutierrez was also asked about the real score between her and actor Paulo Avelino, but the actress opted to give an indirect answer with a “cat with heart eyes” emoji.
“I’m so happy that there are a lot of PauNine fans. Sobrang ramdam ko ‘yung love and support niyo,” she said. “Sobrang naa-appreciate ko na parang kilala niyo na ko enough to know and ‘di niyo ako kinukulit to explain things. I’m so grateful for you guys and I’m super happy now with everything in my life, so ayon — cat with heart eyes emoji.”
(I’m so happy that there are a lot of PauNine fans. I really feel your love and support. I also really appreciate that you guys seem to know me well enough, that you do not insist for me to explain things. I’m so grateful for you guys and I’m super happy now with everything in my life, so there — cat with heart eyes emoji.)
Speculations that Gutierrez and Avelino are dating arose after they were frequently spotted together even after their TV series “Marry Me, Marry You” ended. Earlier this month, Avelino revealed as well that the two of them are still going out and that their relationship is “OK.”
Gutierrez’s mom, actress Lotlot de Leon, also earlier spoke about her daughter’s rumored relationship with Avelino, saying she is in “full support” of whatever would make her children happy. EDV
