The Kapuso actress and host Heart Evangelista shared that her mother Cecilia Ongpauco has finally accepted that she is getting married with Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, the former star of the youth-oriented show “G-Mik” said that her mother has already accepted that she is settling down soon, assuring that they are now in good terms.
“Tanggap niya na na ikakasal na ako. Accepted niya na ‘yun. Although ‘yung next step na magkikita lahat lahat, ipinagdadasal pa namin ‘yun. Pero wala na talaga sa kanila ‘yung galit sila or anything. Wala ng ganun,” she said.
Last year, Heart Evangelista made headlines when her parents publicly revealed that they disapprove their daughter’s relationship with Chiz Escudero. But they have already mended their ties when the lawmaker proposed to her last August.
According to the 29-year-old star, her parents, especially his dad are happy that she has found her own family that will take care of her when the time comes that they will no longer be with her.
“They are happy, especially my dad. Happy siya na makakahanap ako ng sarili kong pamilya. Kampante na rin siya na tumatanda na rin siya, and if something were to happen to him, may pamilya ako na mag-aalaga sa akin,” she added.
However, Heart Evangelista said in her previous interviews that she is not expecting her parents to come in her wedding although they have already given their blessing.
Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero are set to walk down the aisle next year in February 15, at Balesin Island Club, in Quezon Province.
