Showbiz couple Bianca Umali and Ruru Madrid have discussed the possibility of marriage, the actress confirmed in a recent interview. “We’ve talked about it,” she said, though emphasizing they are not rushing into anything.
The couple, both well-known Kapuso stars, plan to focus on their careers for now.
“We want to maximize our individualities. Our promise to each other remains, but we will see what happens in the next chapter of our lives,” Umali stated.
Umali also addressed occasional feelings of jealousy in their relationship, noting it is something they handle openly.
“Sometimes I feel jealous, but we talk about it. Honesty and transparency are important to us,” she explained.
Regarding on-screen work, Umali mentioned that neither seeks permission from the other when it comes to kissing scenes. “We just let each other know. We understand it’s part of the job, and we share the same level of dedication and passion for our craft.”
Umali is currently busy filming for the upcoming GMA primetime series Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre, where she stars alongside Kelvin Miranda, Faith Da Silva, and Angel Guardian.
The actress acknowledged the pressure of following the success of previous Encantadia installments but expressed confidence in delivering a quality show.

Actor Gabby Concepcion has expressed gratitude to GMA for allowing him to postpone the taping of his upcoming television series to accommodate his Dear Heart concert tour with ex-wife Sharon Cuneta in the US and Canada.
“I’d like to thank the Kapuso management for understanding my schedule for the concert,” Concepcion said. “I have a new series with them, but due to the concert, I requested a leave of absence. They understood, and I will start taping when I return in January.”
The 59-year-old actor also mentioned that adjustments have been made for the US leg of the concert.
“Our songs will be shortened, and the show won’t last two hours. We’re mindful of the audience’s time, especially considering their drive home. There’s also a strict timetable in the US, and going over time incurs charges, so we aim to finish on time,” he stated.
