KORINA Sanchez revealed she was already engaged to be married to her former boyfriend when Mar Roxas, who is now her husband, caught her attention.
Sanchez shared she actually had her wedding gown made but things were not going smoothly in her previous relationship.
“We were always fighting and I was doubting and I said, ‘Wow this is a very important decision. I have to be super duper sure,’” she recalled.
At about the same time, Sanchez said she came across an article about Roxas which piqued her interest.
As Roxas was describing her ideal woman in that newspaper article, Sanchez said she somehow felt like he was describing her.
“Sabi niya sa ideal woman niya, ‘I want a woman to be independent. I want her to have her own life. I want her to be able to do things apart from me.’ Sabi ko bakit parang dini-describe niya ako? For some reason, na-interview ko siya one time but I had a boyfriend, he had a girlfriend. And ayun, parang nagsimula na doon,” she said.
Sanchez said Roxas asked her out after a DZMM interview but they never saw each other again after that first date. But as fate would have it, they would reconnect a year later and that marked the beginning of their happy ever after.
Sanchez and Roxas had a high-profile wedding in 2009. They now have two kids, twins Pepe and Pilar.(ABS-CBN)
