Dimples doesn’t advise young ladies to marry early

Dimples Romana has no regrets putting her showbiz career on hold to raise a family.

“I’m really thankful my husband and I are celebrating our 9th anniversary in June. I think it all paid off. The sacrifices are all worth it,” Dimples said in an interview at Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp in SM Sky Dome on Saturday, April 21.

The actress grew up wanting to have her own family at a young age and feels that she “was born to be a mom.”

She married Boyet Ahmee, an engineer when she was only 19 and working on the TV series “Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay.”

Times are different


But she doesn’t advise today’s young ladies to start their own family at a young age because times are different now.

“I really don’t advise young ladies to have their own family early kasi nag-iba na rin yung generation ngayon eh. Iba na rin yung dynamics ng pamilya ngayon. Now you really have to make sure that you have the perfect partner,” Dimples explains.

Since she joined showbiz at 12 years old, does Dimples see her daughter following in her footsteps?

“I just let her be as much as possible. So, far what she’s been doing is figure skating and swimming. I don’t know about acting, maybe it’s too early to tell pa,” Dimples replied.

Since she resumed her showbiz career, Dimples has been doing projects one after another. Aside from acting in various TV dramas, Dimples hosts “Kabuhayang Swak na Swak” with Bobby Yan.

“Masaya. Nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos, nararamdaman kong mahal ako ng network ko. Hindi rin kasi ako mahanap (ng trabaho). I don’t really know also how to demand. Natutuwa lang ako na everybody from Star Magic knows what we really want to do,” she said.

Dimples is happy her daughter can enjoy watching her on TV and other projects. She is happy to host the talent camp (with Xian Lim and Matteo Guidicelli) as she gets to join other kids and moms.

Beyond the professional


“This goes beyond the professional. This is more personal for me. Ito ang passion ko sa buhay eh. The reason why I married early is because I felt I was born to be a mom,” she said.

Dimples credits her husband for allowing her to strike a balance between career and family.

“Mabait yung asawa ko. Boy supports me totally. I support him also. So give and take lang kami. Hindi mahirap mag-balance kung hindi ka pinapahirapang mag-balance,” she said.
