Rayver Cruz says being in a relationship with Julie Anne San Jose feels like things have fallen into place.
“Basta, bigla na lang naramdaman ko sa puso ko na nagkakagusto na ako sa bestie ko,” says Rayver, who laughs at his cheesy but candid admission of how he fell in love with Julie, whom he considered a very good friend long before they became a couple.
He continues, “Totoo naman, e. You just feel it, e. Hirap i-explain and that’s the beauty of it.
“Nung talagang naramdaman ko na at sigurado ako sa sarili ko, sinabi ko sa kanya kung gaano siya ka-special sa akin and sinabi ko kung gaano ko siya kamahal.
“For me, I’m pretty sure na ito na. She’s my end game.”
JULIEVER IN SYNC
By the time they were both single and unattached, falling for each other turned out to be a natural progression of their deep connection and mutual interests.
“Yung humor namin, yung mga kuwentuhan, parang swak lahat,” Rayver reveals.
Julie Anne points out, “Yeah, saka parang how we are as people, I guess, kung siguro may lalaking version ko, siguro si Ray yun.”
“Kumbaga, parang kung paano ako as a person—like, masiyahin, mahilig sa music. Tapos yung mahilig din siya sa music, tapos, mahilig din sa songs, sa dances, yung instruments ngayon…
“We always just get along,” the 29-year-old singer-actress explains.
JULIEVER ON BEING TOGETHER
Little did Julie Anne know that it was also Rayver’s way of showing his feelings for her.
“Kasi natutuwa ako na parang hinaharana ko siya every time,” he grins.
To which, Julie Anne replies, “Natutuwa ako kasi parang feeling ko hinaharana niya ako, ganun. Lagi niya akong kinakantahan.”
Rayver adds, smiling, “Na-excite ako maghanap ng bagong song lagi. Kasi sabi ko, ‘Ilang years mo nang kinakantahan yung mga fans mo, yung mga manonood mo. Baka it’s about time na ako naman ang kumanta for you.'”
Julie Anne admits she feels over the moon whenever Rayver plays a song for her.
“Kasi ang sarap sa feeling nung ganun. Like, siyempre buong buhay ko kumakanta ako.
“Parang ang sarap kasi sa pakiramdam kapag may kumakanta for me. And he does that all the time.”
Rayver tells PEP.ph that the moment he realized he’s starting to fall for Julie Anne, he really made a move to let her know about it.
“Like, tipong bago siya nag-order ng coffee, may coffee na. Tapos may mga, may mga pa-cute na hirit na ako sa kanya,” Rayver reveals.
