Actress and content creator Alex Gonzaga shared that her main priority at the moment is supporting her husband, Mikee Morada, in his political journey. Gonzaga revealed this at the Christmas party of the Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEED) on Dec. 2, held at Rampa Drag Club in Quezon City.
Accompanied by her husband, who is currently a councilor in Lipa City, Batangas, Alex expressed her pride in his candidacy for Vice Mayor of the city. “This is my first time to introduce my husband to SPEED, editors, press people. We got married during the pandemic,” she said.
Currently taking a break from showbiz to focus on her husband’s campaign, Gonzaga shared that she has been turning down offers in order to be more present in Mikee’s political pursuits. “Of course I’m thankful,” Mikee acknowledged, expressing his gratitude for his wife’s support.
The couple is also focusing on starting a family. “My wife and I are trying to have a baby. I don’t want to lose focus either… Family is our priority,” Mikee added. Alex, too, recognized the challenges of building a family. “Starting a family, building a family is tough,” she said.
Reflecting on her growth, Alex admitted she has mellowed down and is more behaved than in her younger years. “I’m done with my antics during my younger years,” she shared. Mikee humorously added, “Alex will always be Alex… But she’s more careful now.”
Despite her lighter approach to life, Alex jokingly revealed, “It’s only to him that I’ve been naughty.”
Mikee also took a moment to express pride in his wife’s success in vlogging. “Alex has consistently been one of the most followed and subscribed to vloggers, and still gaining more subscriptions,” he noted. “I was there courting her when she started vlogging… She still edits and sits through them all by herself. Seeing her do that makes me proud of her.”
While Alex enjoys her vlogging career and supporting Mikee’s campaign, she remains open to the possibility of entering politics in the future. However, Mikee prefers her to remain in showbiz. “I’m not saying it with finality… As of the moment, I enjoy supporting Mikee in his bid,” Alex reiterated.
As for past controversies, Alex has learned to rise above detractors. “It’s part of the consequence of my being childish and immature then. What’s important, my husband and family remind me — ‘you know your mistakes and you’re trying to improve, trying your best not to repeat them. And we see that you’ve changed for the better…’”
Alex concluded, “I feel I’ve matured… I can’t forever be a teener, forever a jerk.”
