In a rare moment, Matteo Guidicelli looked back at how his and Sarah Geronimo’s love story began even before they actually became a reallife couple. In the September 2016 issue of StarStudio Magazine, Guidicelli revealed that he has always had a huge crush on Geronimo and his ex-girlfriend, actress Maja Salvador, even knew about it when they were still together.
After he and Salvador broke up, Guidicelli finally found the courage to truly get to know Geronimo. “I called Billy and I said, ‘Introduce me to Sarah, introduce me to her,’” he shared, referring to his conversation with his good friend, Billy Crawford, who had a show with Geronimo in Cebu at that time.
Following their encounter in Cebu, Guidicelli recalled going out of his way to catch Geronimo’s show in Batangas, where he even lined up with the singeractress’ fans to get a meet-and-greet. “I sat down—really, at the back of the Popsters. Tapos pumila ako sa meet-and-greet, and then nagpapicture of kay Sarah,” he said. Guidicelli said he ended up giving Geronimo of copy of their picture when they were already a couple several years after.
Although Guidicelli may have already caught Geronimo’s attention because of what he did during her show in Batangas, it was only after their US concert tour that he officially began courting her. “After America, talagang sabi ko I like this girl. I want to get her attention.
Kinapalan ko na mukha ko, ginawa ko na lahat,” he said. Indeed, Guidicelli’s efforts paid off as they are now in a relationship for over two years. According to Guidicelli, they want to keep their relationship low-key as much as possible and very close to normal.
