It's been almost year since Rich Asuncion admitted to dating Philippine Volcanoes player Benj Mudie.
At the grand presscon for her current soap The Millionaire's Wife on March 8, the Kapuso actress looked happy.
It can be recalled that the two were introduced by Rich's fellow StarStruck graduate and Benj's neighbor Yasmien Kurdi.
So, what is it like dating a foreigner?
She said about her Filipino-Australian boyfriend, “Parang mas carefree sila.
“Basta gusto niya ipakita, gusto niya ako i-kiss in public, okay lang.
“Yung ganun, yung walang ka-echosan, yung black and white, ganun.”
In one of her interviews last year, she told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), “From day one, okey kami. Parang tama lahat ng nangyayari.
“Kasi basta, ang saya ko. Yun lang.
“At lahat ng hiniling ko, lahat ng pinag-pray ko…
“Ako naman kasi, gusto ko lang ng normal na relasyon, mai-date ako, maging proud sa akin, hindi mahihiya na ilabas ako.
“Never akong nakapag-date sa mall, never akong nakanood ng sine na okey talaga."
ON PINOY EX-BFS. Prior to this relationship, Rich dated Ervic Vijandre and Aljur Abrenica.
Did she hear about the beating incident involving Ervic?
“Oo nga, nabalitaan ko. Well, ginusto niya yun.
“Buhay niya yun, kung ano ang gusto niyang choice, go siya.
“Basta sana malagpasan niya yung mga ganyang pangyayari.”
She's no longer in communication with both Ervic and Aljur.
The former beauty queen remarked, “I’m so happy naman right now.
“Bakit ko pa aalamin yung mga ano, di ba, yung mga ganung bagay?
“Dapat happy-happy lang."
