Despite becoming a father at a young age, Joaquin Domagoso said that having his son, Scott Angelo, completed his purpose in life.

In a recent guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, the young actor said that he was surprised he could do things that he didn’t think he could do before now that he is a father.

“Now that I am older and I am a father, I have to do things for myself because I am a role model. If I don’t do these things for my son, hindi niya ako susundan,” he said.

“And there are other things, na halimbawa, like work. Working a 9-to-5 job, realizing how other people would go through it, ‘yung tipong you wake up for your son, you do all these things,” added the young star.

Domagoso remarked that he’s feeling “all the joys” of having his son, and he also teased that he’s happy with his love life.

“Tapos at the end of the day, uuwi ka, hinihintay ka pa rin, all the joys. Yung purpose ko sa buhay, nabuo,” he said.

“Sa aking lovelife ngayon po, I don’t want to say anything too much, but right now, I’m in a very happy place,” further expressed the young actor.

Despite saying that he’s happily in a relationship, Domagoso did not disclose if he’s still with his baby mama, Raffa Castro, as there were rumors that they had already separated.

In February 2023, the “First Yaya” actor shared that he and Castro are not planning to tie the knot soon just because they already have a child together.

“Pinaghahandaan ito. You can’t just decide, like, ‘I’ll do this,’ ta’s magpapakasal na kami bukas. Gusto ko ‘yung ipa-plano pa namin. I don’t want to do it just because may anak na kami kasi kawawa si Raffa,” he said at the time.

Domagoso is the son of actor-host-politician and former Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, and his wife, Diana Lynn Ditan.
