WHILE most people get married at a certain age, or at least preparing for it by that time, there are those who are at peace with their situation and are simply letting destiny take the lead.
In our country, some people get frantic when they reach the age of 25 and they are still single. Pressure from family, friends and the entire community starts to hit when someone reaches a certain age.
But there are those who prove that there is no deadline about when to get married, if at all.
Let’s get to know some showbiz personalities who show people that being unmarried in their 40s is nothing to worry about.
- Antoinette Taus
Singer and actress Antoinette Taus may be more visible now in her environmental advocacies than in her showbiz career, but she is still remembered as the ‘90s teen star who had one of the most beautiful faces in the industry.
After her high-profile, six-year relationship with ex-boyfriend Dingdong Dantes, her love life was kept from the public eye.
In previous interviews, she has repeatedly said that she surrenders everything to the divine.
At 41, she is beautiful, happy, and an inspiration to so many.
- Ruffa Gutierrez
Actress and former beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez’s love life has never been hidden from the public eye.
From her teenage loves, to her husband, to her post-marriage relationships, she has always been open about everything.
In 2003, she married Turkish businessman Yilmaz Bektas whom she separated from in 2007. They have two daughters, Lorin and Venice.
Two decades later, Ruffa remains unmarried at 48. Nonetheless, she is a picture of one happy and fulfilled woman.
- Sunshine Cruz
Versatile actress Sunshine Cruz has got to be one of the most beautiful actresses of all time, hands down. But having beauty like hers isn’t exactly an assurance that you will have a blissful, happy marriage or love life.
After 13 years, her marriage to ex-husband Cesar Montano ended. A few years later, she found another love in Macky Mathay, half-brother of actress Ara Mina, only for this relationship to end in separation.
Nonetheless, at 45, Sunshine continues to inspire people that happiness should be found internally and not outside oneself.
- Piolo Pascual
If there’s any celebrity desired by almost everyone, that has to be Piolo Pascual. In “fast talk” type interviews with celebrities, they always answer “Piolo Pascual” whenever they’re asked who the most beautiful man in the Philippines is. That is because he is undoubtedly a beautiful creation.
However, Piolo is again proof that beauty isn’t an assurance of an early [or at least, in time] marriage.
At 46, Piolo remains one of the most sought-after celebrities and the country’s premiere hunk.
