Toni Gonzaga is honest enough to admit that she doesn't want her boyfriend Paul Soriano to join Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition. The TV host-actress candidly told the press, "Ayoko ko siyang i-share!"
In the PBB press conference held last night, October 9, at the ABS-CBN compound, Quezon City, Toni expressed her reaction to the news that Paul had been offered to be one of the 13 celebrity housemates to be revealed to the public on Sunday, October 14.
"At first, I was shocked," recalls the PBB host. "I wouldn't want him to join Pinoy Big Brother because that's too much invasion of his privacy. He's just getting used to the business and the only reason why he's going on TV is because I was ready to publicly share my love life. That's the only [reason] why he goes on TV. Aside from that, he doesn't want to go on TV as much as possible.
"He told me about it. He doesn't want to join and he's comfortable being behind the camera," says Toni about her boyfriend who is a director of music videos.
Toni says she appreciates the fact that her beau is sensitive enough to maintain the privacy of their relationship.
"The only reason why we admitted to the public that we are together is because we don't want to be tagged as liars in the business. People trust you and you [promised to] tell them when you fall in love and when you have a boyfriend you will tell the public, so I'm just being true to my words that "Yes, I do have a boyfriend.'
"As much as possible, I would want to keep things in my personal life private but, like what I said, I didn't hide the fact that I am involved right now."
Toni added that she will be busy in the next few months for the shooting of another Star Cinema film with Sam Milby. According to her, it will be released during the first quarter of 2008.
