ALJUR AND KRIS SWEARS, “LOVE IS MUCH SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND”

Now that their love team is on the height of publicity, Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal mutually feels that they’re in the right path and timing as their first movie team up – “Loving You” soars to the silver screen this August.

Their love team originally started during their Starstruck batch 4 days, both were seen with undeniable affection for each other until Kris was suddenly swept away and paired with Mart Escudero – when they were hailed as the Ultimate love team winners. The Starstruck Ultimate hunk had to stop showing his feelings for the former teen magazine cover girl to gave way for the Mart –Kris team up in the GMA teenage TV show “Boys Next Door”. According to the Pampanga raised actor, this bittersweet decision made Kris - the second woman that made him cry.

But destiny seems to favor Kris and Aljur’s team up when Mart was suddenly plucked from Kris and was ushered into the arms of his new pair Jennica Garcia. As the Mart and Jennica love team became stronger Aljur became Kris’ shoulder to cry on. Aljur says in an interview, “I was in the right place at the right time”. Since then, the pair was again regularly seeing each other and thus, the “AL-KRIS” team up started to attract headlines for the second time around. 

Kris and Aljur were first reunited as a pair in Zaido : Pulis Pangkalawakan. And then followed by the ongoing top grosser fantaserye “Dyesebel”, where Aljur plays the role of Paolo- a poor fisherman who falls in love with the rich girl Shiela Mae-played by Kris Bernal. 

Action speaks louder than words. Even if the two keeps on denying the true status of their relationship, their magnetic radiant smiles with each other seems to be the answer on the real score between the two.  It was while the shooting of their first movie “Loving You”, that the two were seen most inseparably happy with each other. One movie staff revealed, “They’re just so naturally in love, during shoot at lalo na off cam, maya-maya bigla nalang silang magyayakapan at magtutuksuhan, very natural sila, bagay sila talaga”.

Loving you is definitely the most awaited romantic movie that all “AL-KRIS” fans should really watch out for. Aljur and Kris seems to be in total bliss while making this movie and both guarantee that all viewers will be really caught up in the movie’s delightful romantic twist. “ang pinakamahalagang madidiscover nila dito sa movie is yung iba’t ibang klase ng love na nararanasan ng mga tao, na puwede kang mainlove sa tomboy, sa mas matanda sayo, o sa bestfriend mo. It doesn’t matter kung love comes early or late as long as it came and that it makes your soul very happy”, Kris Bernal happily declares.
