Alden Richards says he wants to be married by 35 years old

Alden Richards is one of today’s top actors who also has a thriving business career on the side. But he has a special goal that he hopes to achieve within the next few years, which is to get married and have a family.

In an interview on Ogie Diaz’s YouTube channel, the 31-year-old actor said, “Dapat by 35, kasal na ‘ko. 'Yun po ang sinabi ko sa sarili ko.”

Alden revealed that he currently is not in a relationship. “Wala talaga, Mama Ogs, sa ngayon."

Asia’s Multimedia Star added that his past relationships did not work out.

“Hinanap ko, ginusto ko siya, kaya lang parang mas hindi nag-wo-work pag pinipilit ko,” he said.

“Parang for some reason, one way or another, nagkakaroon ng casualty,” he added. “One way or another, merong nagiging issue.”

From these experiences, Alden learned, “The more ko siyang pinipilit, the more siyang nawawala.” He added, “Parang buhangin po eh, the more kang kumakapit sa buhangin, lalong kumakawala sa kamay mo.”

Despite this, Alden still wants to have a family of his own.

“'Yung mga babies po, 'yan ang gustong gusto ko magkaroon talaga,” he said.

The actor added, “Gusto ko po may asawa. Mahirap po 'yung single parent. At tsaka ayoko po i-deprive yung anak ko na lalaki siya na tatay lang 'yung kilala. Gusto ko buo 'yung family.” —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
