Zanjoe Marudo finally confirms relationship with Ria Atayde
Love is in the air for Zanjoe Marudo and Ria Atayde!
In a recent interview with journalist Karen Davila, the 40-year-old actor was asked about his love life, and whether or not he's in a relationship. To which, he answered with a playful smile, "Yes, it's out in the open naman na, so yes."
Karen then jokingly asked if he's considering tying the knot and settling down—a question that caused Zanjoe to laugh. "Sobra akong nage-enjoy ngayon sa sitwasyon ng buhay ko, sa career ko, sa personal life, pero siyempre, ‘yung mga ganyang bagay, masyado pang personal," he said.
Zanjoe and Ria first sparked dating speculations in August last year after a photo of them surfaced on the internet where they could be seen dining with some friends in New York. This was further fueled when they were spotted spending time together on other social media posts by their close friends in the industry, including Daniel Padilla, Kathryn Bernardo, and Joshua Garcia.
Ria's mother Sylvia Sanchez later confirmed that the two are romantically linked in an interview in October. Despite this, Zanjoe and Ria have kept mostly quiet about their relationship and have only shared glimpses of their sweet moments together on their respective Instagram accounts.
