Aubrey Miles, Troy Montero on why they took 18 years to get married

Celebrity couple Aubrey Miles and Troy Montero shared that they took 18 years before tying the knot because the actress wasn’t ready to be a bride before.

Sitting down on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on Tuesday, March 12, Miles revealed that she was the one who hesitated for them to be wed in church.

“Parang siya din nafefeel niya na ‘di pa ako ready. May moment na biglang ready tapos biglang hindi. Saka hindi ako nagmamadali nung time na ‘yon,” she said.

(It’s like he also feels that I’m not ready yet. There is a moment when you feel that you are ready and then suddenly you are not. I was also not in a hurry at that time.)

The former “Survivor Philippines” castaway underscored that she wasn’t the demanding type of girlfriend, as she stressed that she was content at the time with whatever they had.

“Hindi ko siya pinepressure. Siguro ang swerte nga niya hindi ako nampepressure. Hindi ako nagdedemand ng ganito,” Miles remarked.  (I didn’t pressure him [to marry me]. Maybe he’s lucky I’m not the one to demand things.)

“Happy ako. Super happy ako sa sitwasyon. Parang bakit ko gagalawin kung okay naman. Masaya naman ako sa kaniya,” added the actress. (I’m happy. I’m super happy with the situation. It’s like why should I change something if it’s okay already. I am happy with him.)

Montero, meanwhile, claimed their children also play a part in helping them realize that they need matrimony, saying, “I think ‘yung [mga] bata, our kids, the ones made us decide it’s time.”

Being tagged as the “sexual couple,” they also revealed that they sleep naked every time they travel without their kids.

“Whenever we travel, kapag kaming dalawa lang, we’re always naked sa hotel,” shared the Montero. (Whenever we travel, when it’s just the two of us, we’re always naked at the hotel)

“Natutulog kami na naka[hubad]. Normal lang… Even sa bathroom, we talk, nakahubad,” added Miles. (We sleep [naked]. It’s normal… Even in the bathroom, we talk, naked)

The married couple reiterated that “intimacy” is very important to their relationship as they affirmed it’s the fun part of the union.

“It’s one of the fun parts of the relationship. It’s important, maybe not a necessity na kailangan lagi kang sexy. Para sa amin, it’s a fun thing to do,” remarked the actress.

Miles and Montero tied the knot in March 2022, and they have two children, Hunter and Rocket. The actress has another son, John Maurie, with ex-boyfriend JP Obligacion.
