“When we were introduced, I was told he was a singer. So I thought, he\u2019s an up-and-coming singer, I had no idea who he was. It was my first time to hear about him, because when Christian\u2019s career was starting, I was in California,” Kat said. (Photo<\/a>: metrodotstyle\/Instagram<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recalling their first meeting in Manila last 2016, Kat Ramnani said she has no idea that her husband-to-be, Christian Bautista, is a popular local artist.<\/p>\n

Christian and Kat was sharing this in a joint interview with Metro.Style for its Metro Wedding’s digital edition on Wednesday, July 4.<\/p>\n

When she first met the 36-year-old singer, Kat said she was clueless that Christian is a celebrity as she was living in the United States (US) since 2002.<\/p>\n

“When we were introduced, I was told he was a singer. So I thought, he\u2019s an up-and-coming singer, I had no idea who he was. It was my first time to hear about him, because when Christian\u2019s career was starting, I was in California,” Kat said.<\/p>\n

“I just came back to the Philippines in 2012. So those were the years when his career was built,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Kat revealed that when they were going out, Christian would take her to “really obscure restaurants” which made her think that she was indeed dating an up-and-coming singer.<\/p>\n

Kat only came to know that she was dating the “Asia’s premier romantic balladeer,” with several best-selling albums under his belt, after she told her friends Christian’s name.<\/p>\n

“So I told my friends, I am dating this guy, and he is a singer. And they would ask, what\u2019s the name. And I would say, you won\u2019t know him, he is up and coming. But he is cute, in fairness,” she said.<\/p>\n

“And I showed them a picture and they were like, ‘Girl, ano ba<\/em>! That\u2019s Christian Bautista!\u2019 So I Googled him for an hour, and then I texted him, ‘Hey\u2026 I Googled you.’ And then he replied with just a smiley face and I was like, ‘Why didn\u2019t you tell me?'” she continued.<\/p>\n

Christian, for his part, said he found it a bit awkward to introduce himself to Kat and tell her that he was a famous showbiz personality.<\/p>\n

“Of course, I couldn’t introduce myself naman na <\/em>(like), ‘Hi, I’m this guy’,” he explained.<\/p>\n

In the same interview, the couple also said that they both shared a love for food and running.<\/p>\n

“Her taste is really impeccable because I\u2019d discover new restaurants from her. She just knows where to eat and what to eat,\u201d Christian said.<\/p>\n

Kat, on the other hand, said she loved that her partner also loves to run.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we loved doing when we were just starting out was running. I am a runner, I love to run. So he used to tell me, ‘Oh, I\u2019m a runner too.’ So I thought, \u2018This is great, I\u2019d have a running buddy.’ Two years later, I found out he was not a runner, he just said that for me. And I really appreciated that,\u201d Kat narrated.<\/p>\n

Christian then replied, “Yes, because I was trying to chase you!”<\/p>\n

It was in 2017 when Christian decided to ask for Kat’s hand after they dated for a year.<\/p>\n

The couple is now preparing for their wedding day which will be held abroad but added that they will also have a ceremony in Manila to celebrate with their friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
