Inihayag ni Juliana Gomez na mataas ang kaniyang standards pagdating sa pakikipagrelasyon dahil nakita niya kung paano magmahalan ang kaniyang mga magulang na sina Richard Gomez at Lucy Torres.
"I see how my dad loves my mom. And how, you know, my mom loves my [dad]. I see their relationship. So I also set a standard based on what I’ve seen growing up," sabi ni Juliana sa "Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel."
Dahil dito, natanong ni Pia kung kawawa ang mga manliligaw ni Juliana dahil sa mataas ang expectation niya sa mga lalaki.
"Yes kawawa talaga, because the bar is pretty high," saad ni Juliana. My mom always tell me to pray for the right partner," pahayag ng dalaga.
Gayunman, inilahad din ni Juliana na may ipinakilala na siyang manliligaw sa kaniyang mga magulang, at hindi siya natakot na gawin ito.
"I was never scared to do that [ipakilala ang manliligaw]," saad niya. "Because number one, I did it at an appropriate age. Secondly, it’s because they’ve always made me feel like it's okay, that it's a normal part of growing up. So I really had no fear because I also knew that the person I was introducing at that time was someone that I trust that and someone that I felt that they would like also."
Naging pribado naman si Juliana nang kumustahin tungkol sa estado ng kaniyang love life sa ngayon.
"I’d say I’m very focused on my career, which is fencing right now. Ay, that’s such a showbiz answer. I’m so sorry, but it’s honestly the truth," aniya.
Hindi rin daw ito prayoridad sa kaniya sa ngayon.
"That’s really my priority right now (fencing). And even if I had time to be in a relationship, it’s more like, it’s never really been a priority. I’d still carry on with the things that, you know, I’d like to do while I’m still young, which is do all this work, get into the sport that I love, focus on my studies, things like that," paliwanag niya.
Natanong si Juliana tungkol sa magandang relasyon niya kay Miggy Bonnevie-Bautista, na isa ring atleta ng fencing.
"It’s very helpful that I have that kind of support system within the fencing community," anang dalaga.
Ipinaliwanag naman ng student-athlete kung bakit hindi siya gaanong nagpo-post tungkol sa kaniyang love life.
"Well, honestly, I don’t really post. Like if it’s, you know, someone in this case, a boyfriend, it’s not something that I boast because I always think like, what if, not to be negative, but it’s just like, we’re not married. So... and I’m scared, like, what if it doesn’t work out, then I’ll have to delete you?" sabi ni Juliana.
"I don’t want to be known as someone that’s in a relationship with this person, especially because I have control over my social media. I really just post the things that I like to take pictures of, the things that I’m proud of," paliwanag pa niya. --FRJ, GMA Integrated News
