“I never thought it would feel this blissful,” said actress Meryll Soriano as a way to describe her current state at home, while living with partner Joem Bascon and her two sons, Eli and Gido.

In a recent chat with Inquirer Entertainment, Meryll celebrated her being able to breastfeed Baby Gido during the pandemic and also star in a movie opposite the man she loves in Rain Yamson II’s dramatic piece, “Angkas.”

“I don’t know how I’d survive without Joem’s help. I appreciate everything that he is doing for the whole family, not just for me and Gido, but also for my eldest son Eli,”Regarding her 14-year-old son Elijah, who she had with actor Bernard Palanca, Meryll revealed.

“I’ve been a single parent for so long. I have no idea what to do with a mustache or beard, or what deodorant someone like him (Eli) should use. I’m glad he has Joem to consult about things that are unique to men.”

Since the pandemic lockdowns began in 2020, according to Joem, they have had the chance to spend quality time together. Joem, who started dating Meryll around 12 years ago, said, “I had no trouble keeping a solid relationship with Eli because I also took care of him when he was 2 years old.”

“Now that he is a teenager, we share the same interest in video games and clothes. He would also consult me on what workout routine suits him.”
