ACTOR Buboy Villar opened up about how being a father at 17 changed his life forever.
In an interview with Toni Gonzaga, Villar admitted that what happened between him and Angillyn Gorens, the mother of his children, was unexpected.
“Love at first sight, tapos gusto ko talaga siya. Hindi namin talagang plano mag-anak noon. Plano lang namin was mag live-in kasi partners kami,” he said.
Saying Gorens is his first true love, Villar asked her to live with him here in the Philippines so they could be together.
Gorens was initially hesitant to uproot her life in the United States, but she came to the Philippines without her parents knowing.
“Alam namin na mali ‘yun. Ginawa namin ‘yung gusto lang namin. Hindi namin pinakinggan ‘yung mas nakakatanda sa amin,” he added.
Now 23 years old, Villar considers having kids as the best thing that happened to him.
The greatest lesson he learned from his two kids are: “Unang una sa lahat, dapat ingatan natin ‘yung sarili natin kasi kapag hindi, paano na ‘yung mga anak natin? Paano na ‘yung future nila? Ayaw kong lumaki ‘yung mga anak ko [at pagdaanan nila] ‘yung mga pinagdaanan ko.”
In October last year, the couple ended their four-year relationship.
They agreed on a co-parenting setup. The kids are currently with Villar’s ex-girlfriend’s parents while he works. (ABS-CBN News)
