JM de Guzman and Donnalyn Bartolome are now “exclusively dating,” a month after the actor admitted he had been courting the content creator “for almost a year.”
Bartolome confirmed their relationship status in a vlog on Sunday, May 26, where she serenaded de Guzman with her rendition of Britney Spears’ hit song “Sometimes.”
The video showed de Guzman being taken to a palace-like date spot where he watched Bartolome sing for him before unveiling a banner with the message, “JM, mahalaga ka sa akin (JM, you’re important to me).”
“Alam kong matagal ka nang naghihintay ng sagot ko, kaya ngayon… JM mahalaga ka sa akin,” Bartolome said. The banner was folded to show the phrase, “JM, Mahal K…” before it was revealed to be the actual message for the actor.
De Guzman laughed in response to the banner, saying, “Akala ko mahal kita eh (I thought you were going to say I love you).”

“Wala pa, ‘di pa ako ready diyan. Masyadong mabilis (Not yet. I’m not yet ready. It’s too fast),” she said.
De Guzman and Bartolome sparked relationship rumors in late 2022, with the actor confirming he’s courting the content creator a year later.
In February 2024, the actor took to Instagram to admit that he hopes to “marry” Bartolome at the right time. Two months later, he said at a press conference that he had been courting her for almost a year and is willing to wait for her.
