"Pero hindi 'yon ang reason kung bakit kami magpapakasal, okay? Nililinaw ko lang sa mga mamba-bash diyan," he clarified at the time.

Donesa also explained why they delayed the announcement of her pregnancy.

"It's nice thing to keep private muna especially during the very sensitive stages sa akin. First trimester for me was so hard. Both of us actually, (it) was really hard," she said at the time.
