When will Jomari Yllana propose to Pops Fernandez?

For the longest time, this has been the perennial question of the showbiz press, and repeatedly, the celebrity couple's answer has been: "We're enjoying what we have."

During the birthday party of GMA-7 executive Redgie Magno, PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked Joms the same question, and he  just took it nonchalantly.

He replied, "Right now, I'm very comfortable with what we have..."

Pops said in her previous interviews (click here to read article) , "We never fight." Likewise, Jomari also related, in an article published here in PEP last year, that the age gap is working in their favor because of "maturity."

So what's stopping them from taking their relationship to a higher level?

The host-actor replied vaguely, "Ang problema kasi, may mga anak kami, di ba? Tatlo yun, eh, sa ‘kin yung pinakabata...So, kung iisipin mo, hindi pa...sobra kaming okay, pero baka ‘pag nag-asawa kami, baka...definitely may mga masasaktan, di ba?"

They both came from broken marriages. Pops was married to Concert King Martin Nievera, while Joms was the first husband of politician-actress Aiko Melendez. By the looks of it, the two are very happy with their set-up, and are probably afraid to do something that might change the status quo.

Their relationship became the core of intermittent breakup rumors last year, but Pops and Joms remained together. In fact, they celebrated their third anniversary last December 8.

But Jom believes he and Pops are not yet past the getting-to-know-you stage. "We're learning more from each other, e," he said. "Marami kaming natutunan sa isa't isa. Kumbaga under pressure, personality, character, weakness side, diskarte, yun, nakikita namin ourselves in action together, how we work."

Wedding is far from their minds, as both are currently busy with their upcoming concert titled Missing You. Pops and Martin, will be the performers, while Joms will produce the show.

The project has given them the chance to get to know each other better. He remarked, "Three years na kami pero meron kaming nakikilala sa isa't isa na hindi pa namin alam, e. Nadidiskubre namin ngayon lang."

The ward of Douglas Quijano answered, "Actually nagsimula kami, sanay kami ng ganun, e. Sanay ako ng nagtu-tour siya around the world. Umpisa pa lang, ganun na yung trend namin. Lagi siyang wala pero pag nandito siya, masaya. [Nandun] yung element ng missing someone."" 

CONCERT UPDATE. The upcoming show on February 6 is "okay," according to Jomari. "Kahit na ina-eye bags na ako," he quipped.
