Filipina actress Nadine Lustre has started spilling the beans about her “kind of cute” non-showbiz boyfriend Christophe Bariou.
During an interview with TV host Boy Abunda, as seen on his YouTube channel on July 9, she shared how she met Bariou, a resort owner.
Lustre said that she and Bariou met last year, during her vacation with some of their mutual friends in Siargao.

“Three of us, two of my friends [and I], ended up going to Siargao just for a vacation kasi nga medyo maluwag na nung time na ‘yun (because restrictions were loose at the time) so we were able to fly out,” she told Abunda.
Lustre and her friends stayed in a different resort, but since one of her companions was working with Bariou, they asked if they could go to a secret beach spot near Bariou’s private resort.
“[She] asked him if we could go, but we ended up just swimming in his pool. That’s pretty much it,” Lustre said.
About her first impression of Bariou, Lustre said that she had heard her friends talk about the businessman prior to their first meeting.

“My friends were talking about him and they were saying, ‘He’s actually really cute.’ When I saw him, I’m like ‘Okay fine, he’s actually kind of cute,’” she added.
On whether her boyfriend feels comfortable with her being a public personality, Lustre said that Bariou has been understanding about it.
“He’s getting used to it, at least. I think he understands that it’s something that he cannot escape. It’s part of it so he’s okay with it,” she was quoted as saying.
