Since confirming her romance with former Rivermaya frontman Rico Blanco in 2021, Maris Racal described her relationship with the musician, claiming that she never fights with Rico.
In a TV appearance on Magandang Buhay on May 20, Maris talked about her ~kilig~ relationship with Rico. She shared, “Si Rico, naku, kami po ngayon sobrang okey. As in ‘di kami nag-aaway. Kung nag-aaway man, hindi yung pagalingan, yung parang may manalo sa away. Nag-aaway kasi parang kailangan i-fix namin tapos masaya lang, magaan. Happy.”
Speaking about her viral vlog where Rico *patiently* gave her a refresher course on driving, the actress revealed that the vlog was her idea. She said, “Parang sayang yung first na hindi mo ma-video kasi importante na ‘yan ngayon na kailangang i-document mo lahat.”
“Tapos sabi ko, ‘Babe, puwede bang turuan mo ako ulit?’ Kasi three years na akong hindi nagdri-drive. Tapos ayaw niya pa,” Maris said.
“Si Rico kasi super careful niya na tao,” she continued. “Kailangan planado lahat. Na parang, ‘Okey, sino ang magvi-video sa atin? Saan tayo dadaan? What if may kotse?’ Ganyan siya, tapos na-frustrate, umiyak pa ako.”
“Sabi ko, ‘Ang hassle mo naman ka-vlog,’” Maris shared. “Kasi kapag vlog dapat masaya lang para yung momentum. Umiyak pa ako, sabi ko, ‘Huwag na nga lang.’ Siguro weeks na sinabi niya, ‘Sige na, ituloy na natin yung vlog mo, gawin na natin kasi free na naman ako.’ Tapos ginawa namin [yung vlog].”
Previously, Rico shared some pretty kind words about Maris’ positive outlook which captured his heart. He said, “Ang gusto ko kay Maris is she doesn’t even realize it but nakaka-happy e yung vibe niya.”
