Dumating sa buhay ni Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa ang kanyang non-showbiz at entrepreneur fiancé na si Emil Eriksen nang hindi inaasahang ito na ang lalaking pakakasalan.
Tatlong taong magkasintahan ang couple bago nag-propose si Emil kay Kylie. Inanunsiyo nila ang kanilang engagement noong February 2026.
Sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa sidelines ng Preview Ball 2026, nagbigay ng konting detalye si Kylie tungkol sa kanyang relasyon.
Nagkakilala raw sila ni Emil "through a common friend."
Kuwento niya: "I feel like when you give up on love, that's when love comes. So I gave up. I'm like, 'There's no one here. Ah, bahala na si Lord.'
"So I feel like when you stop wanting something so much, that's when it comes because you're done with everything."
Hindi raw sila yung tipong gusto na niya agad ang fiancé nang magkakilala sila.
"Not instantly. He had to, like, kind of prove it," nakangiting saad niya.
Nang maging sila ni Emil ay mas lalo raw lumawak ang kanyang mundo.
Mas naging inspirado raw siyang gawin ang mga bagay na mas magpapa-grow sa kanya bilang indibidwal.
Paano niya nalaman na si Emil na ang lalaking gusto niyang makasama habambuhay?
Sagot ng beauty queen-actress: "I just knew. They always say when you know, you know. So that's it. Yeah."

"But that's what I should plan, this whole thing. Like, I wanna be a planner more."
Wala raw siyang "bridezilla moment" so far.
Pagpapatuloy niya, "I'm super chill. If anything, I'm just gonna let it happen.

ON HER PASSION PROJECT
Bukod sa pag-aartista, abala rin si Kylie sa pagiging creative director ng Sola, na isang shapewear clothing brand. Mayroon din siyang sariling podcast.
Bilang babae, naniniwala raw siya na hindi limited sa isang role ang puwede niyang gawin.
Paliwanag niya: "Honestly, I don't think you can succeed now without being multi-faceted. I think gone are the days na isa lang ang pwedeng gawin ng babae.
"Pero ngayon, you have to be a lot of things. Ngayon, let's say you be an actor or still make content, you can be a mother. Women are so multi-faceted."
Depende raw talaga kung ano ang gustong takahin ng isang babae.
Dagdag ni Kylie: "But it's so important to not stress. Learn how to prioritize things.
"Like, ano ba yung importante sa yo ngayon? And then, yeah, get the right support around you. And I hope they're the right team.
"So I have really good people around me supporting me, and that was what I did."
