Jak Roberto says he and Barbie Forteza don’t feel pressure to get married soon

Jak Roberto has revealed that he and girlfriend Barbie Forteza don’t feel pressure to get married anytime soon.

Asked about their future plans during a virtual interview on Tuesday, Jak explained that he and Barbie had set financial goals that they had yet to achieve.

“For now kasi, ayun nga, bukod sa pandemic, siyempre pag may gano’n na sitwasyon, ’yung trabaho natin pare-parehas na naaapektuhan, ’di ba? So, kami parang kinakapa namin sa gano’n,” the Kapuso actor told GMA reporters.

“Halimbawa, dumating ’yung sitwasyon na ganito tapos kasal na kayo or settled na kayo magiging problema ba ’yan ng isang sitwasyon?”

According to Jak, both he and Barbie are focused on their work and supporting their families for the time being.

“Ako, personally, lagi kong sinasabi sa kanya kapag ka dumating ’yung time na gusto na naming mag-settle, mahalaga talaga na Malaki ’yung ipon namin sa isa’t isa kasi, syempre, may family din siya na sinusuportahan, ako din may family din,” he said.

“So ’pag nag-settle kami, sa ’min na ’yun, kumbaga kami na ’yung maghahakot ng budget namin, kami na ’yung magba-budget sa bahay, ganyan,” he added.

“So, ngayon, talagang more on work, work, work, work kami na hanggang sa maka-ipon nung feeling na kaya na talagang mag-settle.”

Moreover, Jak said he and Barbie also “connect” when it came to the ideal age of getting married.

“By that time na maabot na namin ’yun, na since siya rin naman gusto niya after parang mga 28 years old na siyang magpakasal or mag-settle down, ako naman mga 30 plus so nag-alam mo ’yun? Nagko-connect kami sa isa’t isa na, oh parehas ’yung idea namin,” Jak said.

“So hindi kami pressured na, oh, ang dami nang nagpakasal o may mga nagpo-propose na, ganon,” he added.

“Buo na sa isip namin na kapag ka talagang may ipon na, and kaya na naming mag-settle down, doon na namin gagawin ’yun, doon na kami magdedesisyon or for sure.”

Jak Roberto and Barbie Forteza have been in a relationship since 2017. They celebrated their third anniversary in May. – RC, GMA News
