Rosanna Roces to marry partner Blessy Arias

MANILA, Philippines – Actress Rosanna Roces said that she and partner Blessy Arias will marry in Canada next month, where same-sex marriage is legal. The couple will have another ceremony in the Philippines scheduled in December.

In an interview on Rated K, Sunday, July 31, Rosanna or Osang shared how she asked Blessy if they could finally get married. The two first met when they were teenagers.

“Will you marry me Bless? Ganun ‘yung pagkasabi ko,” Rosanna said. “Bless, I want to marry you. Taray pa din, ‘di ba? Nag-yes siya agad. (She said yes right away.)”

Blessy said: “[Kapag] magkasama kami (When we’re together), ‘yung simplicity ng life. Iyon ‘yung tumatak sa akin. Hindi ‘yung the showbiz side of her. (It’s the simplicity of life – that’s what made an impact on me. Not the showbiz side of her.)“

The couple expressed how they are looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together.

“I’ll never have to sleep alone at night,” Blessy said, as Rosanna added: “Sarap ‘no (It feels good right)?”

“Buti na lang ni-ready ko ‘yung sarili ko na single ako para pagdating nung forever ko, single ako. So alam mo iyon, tumatak talaga sa isip ko na marunong ka maghintay,” Rosanna said. 

(I’m just glad that I readied myself to be single so that when my ‘forever’ arrives, I’ll be single. So you know, it just really stuck to my head that you have to learn how to wait.) 

Last February on Tonight with Boy Abunda, Rosanna confirmed that she was in a relationship. She was previously married to Tito Molina. – Rappler.com
