Kapuso couple Barbie Forteza and Jak Roberto exchanged sweet messages as they celebrated their third anniversary as a couple last Tuesday, May 19, 2020. The two reminisced their sweet memories together while being apart due to the implemented enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila.
On her Instagram account, Barbie shared her photo with Jak taken during their romantic trip to Mt. Moiwa Bell of Happiness in Sapporo, Japan.
The actress wrote, “Being with you has been one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. You boost me up when I feel insecure. You put my feet back on the ground when I fly too high. You support me in everything that I do. You don’t judge, you accept. You love, and you love and when it all feels overwhelming… you love more. Happy 3rd Anniversary, @jakroberto ❤️ I love you.”

After being mum for some time, Barbie confirmed her relationship with the Kapuso hunk in August of 2017. It was believed that Jak started courting the actress after working with her in the rom-com series Meant To Be.
In 2019, the reel- and real-life couple which is also known as JakBie reunited in the fantasy drama Kara Mia.
Their love team drew more attention online after an unusual exchange gift for their Christmas celebration in 2018. The two went viral after reports said that they would not be exchanging gifts. But after receiving demands and requests from netizens, the two finally exchanged “gifts” by giving each other a kiss on the cheek.
