The love that Jericho and Kim share

You could feel it when they entered the room.

It was inexplicable. Both had that individual aura that most certainly draws attention like any other celebrity. But it is their oneness as a couple that made everyone in the room ignite with a thrill.

In Sara Black's Makati studio, where we did a photo shoot for the events magazine Gala, only a few who were updated with the “latest chika” knew they were an item. But, with the way they looked and glanced at each other, even while both were doing completely separate things, just really gave them away to the uninitiated.

Meant for each other

That is, award-winning actor Jericho Rosales and fashion stylist-TV host Kim Jones were really “meant for each other.”

True enough, only a few weeks after that shoot, Jericho popped the question to Kim in a church service. And now, their engagement, as Jericho noted, will lead to both walking down the aisle in the early half of next year.

They were supportive as they were inseparable. Jericho said he just really found someone who makes him “genuinely happy and contented with his life” since they met at a surfing competition in La Union last year. He describes her as his source of strength, an inspiration in his current triumphant cinematic run, bagging acting awards in both the Guam International Film Festival and the Newport Beach Film Festival for his role as a father searching for his son in the human trafficking drama “Alagwa (Breakaway).”

'Most VIP Experience'

It was when we discussed in our interview about Jericho’s “most VIP experience” when we learned how Kim really means to him. He had mentioned about his win at the prestigious Gawad Urian for his performance in “Alagwa” but held back his answer saying that it was too “self-glorifying.”

Kim then joined our discussion, persuading Jericho to retain his answer for the record.

“After all, it really made you feel special and recognized,” Kim said.

Jericho paused for a few minutes as Kim continued to remind Jericho that his Urian win was practically his most cherished and that mentioning it as his most “VIP” experience was very truthful and not as if he was parading his accomplishments.

And, after a full five minutes of pondering and digesting Kim’s inputs, Jericho tells his now fiancée with a wide smile, “You’re right, I think that’s the answer.”

Kim then said “Yes!” with her arms outstretched, as she exchanged a high five with this blogger in jubilation. Who wouldn’t want a loved one’s achievements made known? As a result, make him feel inspired in his work, and become more confident and assured in himself and what he can do further.

The love that Jericho and Kim share? It’s more than cheesy pick-up lines, intimate moments, or weekend getaways.

I think it’s for keeps.
