Unlike before, when showbiz fanatics frowned on their idols having partners outside of loveteams, fans today are more accepting of onscreen pairings.
Take the case of Sparkle artists Ysabel Ortega and Jon Lucas, whose characters Daron and Armea in the recently concluded GMA fantasy series “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre” gave birth to an unexpected loveteam.
The loveteam DarMea was never planned. The viewers found perfect chemistry between Jon and Ysabel – never mind if the former is happily married to former “It’s Showtime” dancer Shy Feras and have three kids, while the latter is in a romantic relationship with Miguel Tanfelix.
Jon, who is already used to portraying villain characters, never thought about becoming the other half of a loveteam.
“Originally, Daron only had five taping days. Papasok siya sa late na week at matatapos rin agad yung character niya,” said the actor. “Perhaps, there’s someone during the meeting of our bosses and the production staff who broached the idea na ‘wag muna ako alisin sa show. Of course, I was happy with it and at the same time so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it,” he added.
Ysabel, on the other hand, was supposed to have only seven taping days, yet her character lasted ’til the end of the show’s Book 1.
“And then in Book 2, I didn’t expect the story to highlight the reign of Armea as Queen of Sapiro, and I’m so grateful, of course, to GMA for choosing our characters as (one of the) highlights for Book 2,” she said.
Ysabel said Miguel is not against her being paired with another actor. “Ever since we started (having) our own shows, we were actually looking forward to it because there’s more room to grow for both of us.
“We’re doing different things right now, but at the same time, we’re still strong as ever because our relationship is not based on our projects. So, we’re just here, we’re rooting, supporting each other.”
The actress is confident that no one will dare go near Miguel “because everybody knows that we have each other.”
Besides, Ysabel said they both respect each other’s boundaries, knowing that it is not about keeping your partner out but creating a safe space where they both feel secure and heard.
“We trust each other, and for me, it feels like you’re becoming territorial if you’re always keeping an eye (on your partner), so you just have to trust your partner,” she added.
Jon, who has been married for nine years now, knows that conflicts in a relationship arise when partners don’t have a clear understanding of their preferences. He maintains a smooth-sailing relationship with Shy through open communication, mutual respect, and trust.
“My wife trusts me, and I appreciate it so much by telling her everything, including things about work. For example, I have to do a romantic scene, I always assure her that my love for work stays with me, but my heart stays at home.”
I asked Jon what piece of advice he would give Ysabel about marriage, he said, “Kung sakaling ipagkaloob ng langit na magiging isa na lang kayo, tuloy lang ang pagiging mapagtiwala at mapagmahal.”
And whenever conflict or misunderstanding arises between couples, Jon deems it best to talk about it and resolve them without having other people meddle in it.
It is said that happy couples don’t just love each other, but they also choose and like each other.
