EA Guzman revealed in a recent press conference for the upcoming series ‘Lilet Matias, Attorney-At-Law’ that he and actress Shaira Diaz faced challenges early in their relationship, especially during the 11 years they practiced sexual abstinence.
During the event, EA candidly shared that he shed tears during the first two years of their relationship. “First two years namin, umiiyak ako kay Shiara, kasi lalaki ako, e, ‘di ba? Hindi sa gusto kong mabait. No, totoo po. ‘Pag nararamdaman ko siya, iniisip ko na sinabi sa akin ni Shaira na, ‘Kung mahal mo talaga ako, hihintayin mo ko,” EA admitted.
“Doon ako tinamaan at ‘yun ‘yung pinaghahawakan ko. And, ‘yun, nasanay na po ako, e. Kumbaga ‘pag magkasama kami, nasanay na ako na hanggang dito na lang kami, pero ramdam ko ‘yung love namin sa isa’t isa. Kahit walang ganun, mararamdaman mo po kung mahal mo ‘yung isang tao, mararamdaman mo ‘yung love niyo sa isa’t isa,” he added.
EA also revealed that their decision to practice sexual abstinence stemmed from Shaira’s desire. “Kay Shaira po talaga, gusto niya talaga after marriage, ‘yun talaga ‘yung gusto niya. Sa parents niya rin, ‘yun ‘yung pinangako niya sa parents niya. Magkaka-boyfriend man siya, papayagan siya mag-boyfriend pero after marriage, ‘yun talaga ‘yung gusto niya,” EA explained.
“Every time nagta-travel kami, kailangan i-secure ko ‘yung parents niya na wala talagang mangyayari. Oo, magkatabi kami matulog pero as in wala po. Kahit itanong niyo kay Shaira, ‘yun ‘yung lagi kong sinasabi sa parents niya, kahit itanong niyo po kay Shaira, hindi po ako nag-attempt, hindi ko po siya pinipilit, wala po talaga. Pure love po talaga,” he emphasized.

Reflecting on their 11-year journey, EA acknowledged that their relationship wasn’t perfect and they had their share of arguments. “Sa amin naman ni Shaira, hindi kami agad ‘yung break. For me, walang perpektong relasyon, may mga dumadaan sa ganyang pagkakataon, pero ako po kasi, to be honest, hindi, e, alam naman ni Shaira ‘yun na hindi talaga,” EA concluded.
