Ruru Madrid on Bianca Umali: 'Ito na 'yung gusto ko makasama habang buhay'

Ruru Madrid is head over heels in love with his long-term girlfriend, Bianca Umali.

On Monday's episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," the "Black Rider" star said that Bianca is one of the people who ground him.

“Number one si Bianca, kami lagi magkausap dahil nakita niya ‘yung mga panahon na hirap na hirap ako, nakita niya ‘yung mga panahon na akala ko wala na ako mararating sa buhay na ‘to,” Ruru said.

[Bianca is number one; we always talk because she saw the times when I was really struggling, she saw the times when I thought I wouldn't achieve anything in this life.]

“Masasabi ko na nahanap ko [na] ‘yung taong katapat ko,” he added. “Totoo nga talaga ‘yun.”

[I can say that I've found the right person, he added. It's really true.]

Ruru said the Kapuso actress sparked something in him that made him think she’s “the one.”

“Noong dumating siya sa buhay ko, sinabi ko na ito na ‘yung gusto ko makasama habang buhay,” he said.

[When she came into my life, I said that this is the one I want to be with for the rest of my life.]

“Hindi ko ’yun nasip dati but ngayon, sobrang proud ako na ipagmalaki na ‘yun ‘yung nararamdaman ko para sakaniya,” he added.

[I haven’t thought about it then, but now, I’m so proud to admit that’s how I feel about her.]

The couple has consistently been posting about their relationship ever since Ruru publicly confirmed his relationship with Bianca in 2022. They celebrated their fifth anniversary in July.

They last starred in the GMA series “The Write One,” where they flew to Paris to shoot the finale. 

Ruru will star in the upcoming action-drama series “Black Rider,” which is set to premiere tonight.
