Gabbi Garcia on relationship with Khalil Ramos: 'He maintains me well'
Eight years in, and Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos are still serving major relationship goals!
The actress, who serves as one of the hosts of Pinoy Big Brother Collab Celebrity Edition, entered the house as a new house guest last week.
In a recent episode, housemate Ashley Ortega asked Gabbi about her long-term relationship with Khalil.
"Si Gabbi, 8 years na rin with Khalil. Nasa healthy relationship na siya. Pero hindi ba kayo dumarating sa point na parang nagkakasawaan na kayo sa isa't isa? Eight years is so long, para na kayong mag-asawa," Ashley asked.
Housemate Dustin Yu joined the conversation, "Alam mo kapag tumatagal na kayo, hindi naman totoo 'yong sawa, e. Basta ine-enjoy niyo."
Gabbi agreed, "Yes, like every day pa rin kami nagvi-video call bago matulog."
She proudly shared, "Grabe 'yun, alam mo bang naghihintay 'yun sa basement ng GMA ng limang oras kapag wala akong driver."
Then, she said in jest, "Hindi ko nga alam paano niya ako pinatulan."
The SLAY actress revealed that she sometimes asks Khalil if she is too much to maintain, knowing that even her friends consider her a high-maintenance girl. But Khalil always reassures her with a firm 'No.'
"He maintains me well," she added.

Gabbi shared that their goal has always been to make their relationship work for the long term.
She explained, "Kasi alam namin na we're here for the long run, not just for dating.”
"Kung i-hug ko man si River and Dustin, tatawanan lang ako noon. Gano'n na kami ka-chill sa relationship namin. May assurance talaga sa isa't isa," Gabbi said.
"And never kami nagkaroon ng problema dahil sa babae o lalaki. It's possible pala talaga to have a healthy relationship. Hindi nga rin kami nag-aaway.”
The actress shared that they only have minor fights like being late or Khalil being too much of an introvert, as he can sometimes be passive. But she said that they always make up in the end.
"We are the best of friends talaga," she said.
Gabbi is the latest celebrity house guest to join the show after Mavy and Kapamilya actress Ivana Alawi, who both stayed for a week.
You can also catch Gabbi in the latest murder mystery series, SLAY, airing at 9:25 p.m. on GMA Prime.
