Jake Cuenca described his relationship with Rabiya Mateo.
Kapamilya actor Jake Cuenca shared how his relationship with Rabiya Mateo has been inspiring him in life and at work.
A few weeks ago, Kapamilya actor Jake Cuenca confirmed that he is the boyfriend of Rabiya Mateo. After several sightings of them together, the actor finally announced it publicly and made it official.
Jake proudly described Rabiya as an “amazing” and “incredible” woman, praising her kindness and intelligence. He added that Rabiya had long been one of his celebrity crushes, and he decided to make a move after completing his work commitments.
“Before I would date or be in a relationship and say let’s see where this goes as special as this is. I never used to date a woman with purpose. And for me with her, I have a purpose,” he expressed.
Recently, he opened up about his relationship with the former beauty queen and shared that he is in a place.
According to Jake, having someone like Rabiya in his life motivates him to work harder. The actress and former Miss Universe Philippines titleholder is currently pursuing medicine at the University of Santo Tomas, a new chapter that has also earned Jake’s admiration and support.
Jake’s openness about his relationship marks a notable change from the early days of their romance, when he and Rabiya were careful about addressing questions regarding their status.
Now that their relationship has been confirmed, Jake appears more comfortable sharing how Rabiya has positively influenced his life.
“For me, you know, when I’m happy, that’s when I feel, like, I’m at my best when I’m acting,” he said, adding that being in a happy place with her brings so much happiness for him too and makes him perform well when acting.
For the actor, being with someone who inspires him to grow and work harder seems to be an important part of why he considers himself to be in a “happy place.”
“It’s easier for me to access emotions. It’s easier for me to confront certain trauma or emotions because I’m in a happy place. And, like, when you’re sad, going through it and then you have to act, mas mahirap siya. It feels like parang doble yung experience,” he said.
