Oyo Boy, who has always been seen as the supportive and loving husband to Kristine, recently sat down for an exclusive interview where he made a shocking confession that has left people talking. For the first time, he addressed the struggles and challenges they faced as a couple, which many fans didn’t expect to hear from him, given the couple’s picture-perfect public image.

During the interview, Oyo Boy confessed that, despite their seemingly flawless marriage, they had encountered a series of challenges that tested their commitment.

He revealed how, like any long-term relationship, they had moments where they questioned each other, but what kept them grounded was their unwavering commitment to each other and their children. Oyo Boy emphasized how important communication was in overcoming these issues and how they both worked hard to keep their love and trust intact despite the pressures that came with raising a family in the spotlight.

The couple’s admission that they have had to work through their struggles behind closed doors humanizes their public image and gives fans a more realistic view of what it takes to maintain a relationship, especially in the harsh glare of the public spotlight. While some fans are thrilled by Oyo Boy’s honesty, others are left speculating about the potential reasons behind the couple’s rare candidness.

MANILA — In a rare moment, Kristine Hermosa turned emotional as she recalled the fulfillment of a dream when she started a family with her husband, fellow actor Oyo Sotto.

The celebrity couple opened up about their marriage in the latest cooking vlog of Sotto’s sister, actress Danica Sotto, who featured them as guests.

Hermosa and Sotto, both age 36, got married in January 2011, and now have four children together.

When Danica asked the two what they consider to be the “greatest lesson” they’ve learned from their marriage, they couple spoke of seeing past “imperfections,” forgiveness, and contentment.

“There is no such thing as perfect,” Hermosa said. “There are no perfect days, no perfect person, so you just need to really appreciate who God gave you, and eventually grow together.”

“I’m learning to accommodate his quirks, his stubbornness. He’s the same with me. I’m not easy to get along with in life either. We’re learning to work together, as a team,” she added.

Sotto echoed his wife’s sentiments, saying: “Let’s be honest, there is no perfect marriage. But how does he become perfect? ​​Only through God. You just have to be forgiving, you have to be patient, because you’re going to make mistakes, you know.”

Hermosa explained: “You have to be content, not ‘when it gets tough, move on to the next one… You can’t even try and error. ‘Okay, I’ll try first, ‘when I’m a little uncomfortable, I don’t want to do it anymore.’ That’s not possible.”

Danica, who is similarly married, agreed with Hermosa and Sotto. She shared that she was a witness to Hermosa’s commitment to her relationship with Sotto, noting how the actress stepped away from the limelight despite being one of the most in-demand stars of her generation.

The topic prompted a tearful response from Hermosa, who said: “Even before, what was in my heart, the Lord really knew. I want to have a family, because that’s what I don’t have, what’s intact, what you know about you. So when He gave it to me, what more could you ask for? You won’t leave it.”
