Derrick Monasterio wants to prove he's worthy of Elle Villanueva before marriage

Derrick Monasterio has a list of things he wants to accomplish first before tying the knot with his girlfriend, Elle Villanueva.

On Thursday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," the Sparkle star said that his ideal age to get married is 30, but currently at 29 years old, he doesn't think he's getting married next year.

"Kasi medyo nasa halfway pa lang ako ng goals ko eh. Kasi I want to build myself up first. I want to be able to have my own house. I want to be able to prove to her mother that I'm worthy kasi siyempre inalagaan siya ng magulang niya eh," Derrick said.

According to the actor, he wants to be able to provide the same for Elle.

"Feeling ko hindi pa, pero malapit na. Na-fi-feel ko na, Tito Boy," he said.

Derrick also said that they have already talked about marriage.

In August 2023, he finally confirmed that they are officially a couple after having a "no label relationship."

The Kapuso couple previously starred together in GMA Afternoon Prime shows "Makiling" and "Return to Paradise." —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
