Are Lexi Gonzales, Gil Cuerva ready for marriage? Actress answers

Lexi Gonzales and Gil Cuerva have been together for three years. But are they ready to settle down? In Tuesday's episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," the Kapuso actress acknowledged she has been in a relationship with Gil for quite some time now, but that they are still "far from marriage." "Although we want our relationship to go somewhere, definitely, but I think we are just at a place right now where hindi pa namin kaya," she said. According to Lexi, they keep an open and honest communication to continuously improve their relationship. "We adjust with each other every time kasi nagbabago talaga ang buhay," she said. "Palitan lang kami ng energy." Meanwhile, Kristoffer Martin, who has been married to AC Banzon since 2022, advised Lexi not to rush things regarding marriage. "Kasi ganyan din kami ng asawa ko, akala namin ready na kami magpakasal before, hindi pa pala," he said. "'Yun pala may mga bagay na kailangan dumating or mangyari para mas makita niyo 'yung importance niyo sa isa't isa na kung kayo talaga, kayo talaga," he added. Lexi and Gil met when the actress guested on "Taste Buddies." She admitted to making the first move on Gil. Lexi and Kristoffer star in the Kapuso series "Cruz vs. Cruz," top-billed by Vina Morales, Neil Ryan Sese, and Gladys Reyes. It airs on GMA Afternoon Prime from Mondays to Fridays at 3:20 p.m. — Hermes Joy Tunac/LA, GMA Integrated News

Lexi Gonzales, Kristoffer Martin share what it's like working with Vina Morales, Gladys Reyes in 'Cruz vs. Cruz'

Lexi Gonzales and Kristoffer Martin are all praises for their "Cruz vs. Cruz" co-stars Vina Morales and Gladys Reyes. The Sparkle stars guested in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Tuesday where they talked about what it's like working with the two veteran actresses. Kris and Lexi play Jeff and Andrea, the children of Vina's character, Felma. According to Kristoffer, he thought he would be intimidated working with Vina. "Pero hindi, storycon pa lang namin, sobrang approachable po, walang wall," he said. "Siya pa 'yung makikipagusap sa 'yo," he said. "Tapos nanay pa namin, so hindi kami nahirapan. Day one po namin sa taping, hindi kami nahirapan," he added. While Kristoffer has worked with Gladys before, Lexi, for her part, had only been with the veteran actress in their promos for the show. "Si Ms Gladys, sa promos pa lang namin siya nakakasama so for, and other stuff including the show. Wala pa kaming eksena together pero lahat mababait sa set," she said. The two also told Tito Boy that they have not been slapped by Gladys yet. "Nag-r-ready pa lang kami, wino-work out ko pa lang 'yung face ko," Lexi quipped "Ako, iniiwas ko na po 'yung character ko sa character niya. Ako na 'yung nag-a-adjust, hindi ko binabanggit 'yung pangalan," Kristoffer added in jest. "Cruz vs. Cruz" follows the story of the two families of Manuel Cruz (Neil Ryan Sese). He leaves his original family -- Felma and their children --in the Philippines to work abroad and provide for them. However, while there, he meets a woman, Hazel (Gladys), who lures him to marry her after she gets pregnant. "Cruz vs. Cruz" is directed by Gil Tejada and premiered on GMA Afternoon Prime on Monday. Catch it on weekdays at 3:20 p.m. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
