Mariel Rodriguez on boyfriend Zanjoe Marudo: ‘Wala nang insecurity ‘yung relationship namin’

Sweethearts Mariel Rodriguez and Zanjoe Marudo are each enjoying successful careers. While Zanjoe stars in the teleserye Lovers in Paris and the now six-times-a-week gag show Banana Split, Mariel is a host on Wowowee, Entertainment Live, and the new Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. At the press conference of PBB Double Up which is set to begin this October 4, Mariel said considers herself more lucky than Zanjoe. “Naaawa talaga ako sa kanya kasi iba pa rin ‘yung hirap ng taping. Na-try ko na ‘yung wala kang tulog. Nung nakaraan nag-taping siya ng Banana Split kasi nga daily na sila. Tapos segue siya sa Lovers in Paris nang madaling araw. Kawawa rin ‘yung driver niya kasi nasalanta nga ng baha. Text sa akin ni Zanjoe lutang daw ang isip niya kasi pagod na raw siya.”

Despite their busy schedules, Mariel said that she and Zanjoe still find time to go out. “Nung Saturday since na pack up ‘yung taping nila dumaan siya sa house ko. Last Thursday naman dumaan ako sa set nila sa Banana Split. We make time talaga na magkita.” Mariel also shared that they went on a movie date.

With both of them in showbiz, Mariel and Zanjoe understand the demands of their work. The TV host-actress added that intrigues don’t affect their relationship, like the rumors about that they broke up because of Maricar Reyes, Zanjoe’s co-star in Lovers in Paris. “I feel bad for Maricar na ina-accuse siyang reason ng breakup namin ni Zanjoe. It’s not true kasi first of all hindi naman kami nag-break. I think kung maghihiwalay kami it’s not because of a third party. Zanjoe is not that kind of person, and also me, ha ha ha!”

Mariel shared that she is very happy with the status of her relationship with the actor and that she doesn’t feel jealous whenever Zanjoe is linked to other women. "I think Zanjoe and I are in a place na we understand each other. Alam namin ‘yung priorities ng isa't isa. Siguro wala nang insecurity yung relationship namin, kasi matagal bago natuloy na naging kami. Para magselos pa kami, parang ang petty, ‘di ba? I really trust him. Kung magloloko siya, e ‘di magloloko siya. Ganun talaga, wala akong magagawa. Eh as of now, wala namang ganun kaya masaya ako."

In past interviews, Mariel and Zanjoe have denied that they are living together. For Zanjoe, he said that he keeps an open mind on the idea of a live-in arrangement. Mariel, on the other hand, would rather keep her opinions to herself. “Mahirap mag-comment kasi may iba na ginagawa ‘yun. Baka ma-offend lang sila sa kung anong sasabihin ko. But for me I’ll just cross the bridge when we’re there na. Ngayon hindi ko pa masabi.”
