With church bells ringing, baby bumps showing, and knees bending to offer a ring, celebrity couple KZ Tandingan and TJ Monterde are just waiting for the right timing.
In the world of showbiz, different celebrities from the acting and music sub-industries have tied the knot, have given their yeses to proposals, and have even announced welcoming the newest members of their families. For KZ, being in a relationship with TJ and being in the celebrity world does not pressure her into getting married.
“We will get there in time. Kasi (Because) engagement is not a race, getting married is not a race,” KZ was quoted as saying in an article by the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP).
She said that age is not the only factor in turning into that next chapter of life.
“I know, maybe I’m at the right age to get married, puwede na (I can). Pero (But) I think you should marry when you’re ready,” she added.
The question came after her co-musician in Cornerstone Moira Dela Torre got engaged to her boyfriend Jason Marvin Hernandez.
KZ who was celebrating her 40th month equivalent to almost four years of being with TJ said that she will let the Lord take the wheel of her married life.
“Kung ibibigay naman ng Panginoon, bakit hindi (If the Lord will give it to me, why not)?” she said.
For KZ, she and TJ are still just building up their musical careers.
“Alam niya kasi, right now, although he’s part of the hierarchy of my priorities, alam niya na kaming dalawa, priority namin ang aming mga careers. Kasi nga, pareho kaming dalawa, we’re just starting (He knows that right now, although he’s part of the hierarchy of my priorities, he knows that for the two of us, our careers are our priorities. Because both of us, we’re just starting),” the singer shared.
