Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna have indeed been married for six years. Pauleen reflected on their courtship and called it “weird” but also “sobrang smooth.”
When questioned about it on a “Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel” program, the TV presenter blurted out that it was “weird” because it had come as a surprise.
Pauleen claimed that it took her seven years with “Eat Bulaga” before she and Bossing had a meaningful dialogue.
“As in minsan, kilay-kilay lang. Parang ‘hi,’ ganun lang. He is super mysterious and so quiet na like what I said, [he comes out as suplado], so parang medyo takot kami sa kanya,” she stated.
“We respect him as our, you know, superior. I don’t think I need to talk to him so when we started to talk, it was kinda stressful,” Pauleen continued.
Pauleen claims that they initially communicated through email while sharing pictures from their vacation to Singapore with friends. Even then, they didn’t get each other contact information.
Vic stated, “Can you send me the photo?’ Sabi ko, ‘I’ll send it to your email.’ Hindi pa naman uso yung mga iMessages nung time na ‘yon so sabi ko, ‘Can I get your email?’ That’s where he got my email.”
“After a while, he emailed me and then parang may nakita siyang billboard ko or something and then he sent it to me, parang ganun lang,” she stated.
Pauleen claimed that they kept exchanging emails up until Bossing offered her his phone number. Vic’s question caused her tension, but she soon recognized that it should be okay.
“Nase-stress talaga ako. Sabi ko kay Ate Ruby (Rodriguez), ‘Bakit kailangan ko mag-reply?’ And then okay naman pala,” she shared. “Friendly lang talaga, then we realized, we had a lot of things in common.”
“I guess yun nga, na-realize niya na normal din pala ito. Hindi pala siya artista kumbaga and then we got along very well,” she continued.
They spent so much time on their own as they developed, but the TV host couldn’t say with absolute certainty when she realized there was much more.
Pauleen said, “Parang sobrang smooth,” it’s just really a transition [from] we started to talk to each other more often. From going out na group kami, we started going out na kaming dalawa na lang.”
Ruby, according to Pauleen, was among their loyal fans and acted as their “enabler” throughout everything.
“Hindi naman sa gustong-gusto niya si Vic pero kaibigan niya talaga si Vic and she knows Vic. I guess maaga pa lang, she saw na ‘bagay ‘tong dalawang ‘to’ without even them knowing it,” Ruby stated.
