Ruffa Gutierrez said her beau Herbert Bautista seemed to have obtained the approval of her mother, Annabelle Rama, days after she finally revealed their relationship to the public.

While the beauty queen-actress has decided to confirm what has long been speculations, Gutierrez said in an interview that she would rather keep her personal life private. She, however, insisted that her relationship with Bautista had “always been serious.”

Gutierrez said Rama is aware that she’s old enough to handle her relationships.

FEATURED STORIES

“Even my mom was like, ‘Bakit ka naga-announce? Magpapakasal ka na ba?’ That’s the story of my life. But I think with my mom now, she knows that I’m old enough. Siguro naman no? Hindi na siya nagme-meddle,” she said.

(Even my mom was like, “Why did you announce it? Are you getting married?” That’s the story of my life. But I think with my mom now, she knows that I’m old enough. I hope so. She’s not going to meddle anymore.)

The actress said Rama will always be her usual outspoken self, though it would appear that the latter “appreciates” Bautista.“But she’s always gonna be my mom. She’s always gonna be outspoken, but I think also she appreciates and she likes the person I’m dating now,” she said.

Still, she doesn’t want to be too public with her personal life. “For me, at my age… I’d rather keep things quiet and not be so vocal about my personal life. I believe that a relationship lasts because it’s private,” said Gutierrez, who just turned 50 last June 24.
