For some time now, showbiz denizens have been speculating
whether Polo Ravales and Jean Garcia are officially a couple or not. The two
stars would rather keep their silence but their actions say it all. In
Studiomax's romantic movie titled Loving You, the rumored real life
sweethearts play the role of a crazy-in-love couple who can't seem to get
enough of each other despite their ten-year age difference.
Their closeness started during a special guesting on Extra Challenge wherein Polo's tender affection for Jean became noticeable. They developed a stronger bond while doing GMA-7's suspense drama soap La Vendetta wherein they shared a very romantic kissing scene as husband and wife. Now that their love team has reached the silver screen, Polo and Jean both feel that their relationship is reaching a new level of intensity.
Polo Ravales says that he constantly wants to be with Jean. "We had shared a lot
of scenes together, at siyempre ‘pag lagi mong ka-work mas lalong nagiging
close kayo sa isa't-isa kaya ever since hinahanap-hanap ko na ang company niya,
masaya kasi kami kapag magkasama."
For her part, Jean was thrilled when Polo revealed: "Hindi siya [Jean] mahirap
mahalin dahil bukod sa sobrang ganda niya—to the point na buong barkada ko
crush siya—sobrang mapagmahal pa siyang tao."
Based on their characters' story, both are aware that a May-December love affair is not an easy relationship considering factors such as: society's conventional norms, striking difference intellectual levels, and interests. But in real life, Polo and Jean believe that age should never be a factor for any relationship, for as long as there is love, no one has the right to question it. Jean points out, "Ako naman very open talaga akong tao, and talagang I believe na age really doesn't matter. ‘Pag ginusto mo at type mo bakit naman hindi di ba? Kapag tinamaan ang puso mo wala kang magagawa."
Polo shares, "Sa akin walang masama as long as pareho kayong deeply in love...kami kasi ni Ms. Jean totoo kami sa isa't isa, we don't pretend basta masaya kami and we both care for each other, and walang magiging masama kung maging kami dahil were both single."
Viewers will definitely want to see the sweetness of Polo and Jean in Loving You. This movie, directed by Don Cuaresma, has not only one but three love scenes between Polo and Jean. "First time talaga namin ni Polo na mag-love scene dito and talagang I can say very kakaiba ang mga ginawa namin...meron kaming shower scene, bed scene at sofa scene, parang halos all over the house ang mga love scenes namin. Meron pa nga akong sexy na back shot...very daring talaga kami dito," says Jean excitedly. Polo even adds, "Hindi ko na nga nabilang kung ilang beses ako nakasuot ng boxer shorts lang sa movie na ito."
Loving You also features the love teams of Yasmien Kurdi-JC de Vera, John Prats-Ehra Madrigal and Aljur Abrenica-Kris Bernal. Showing in theatres on August 20, Loving You is produced by Studiomax and will be distributed by film company Regal Entertainment.
