JC de Vera is certainly enjoying fatherhood. As he told Pep.ph, he has given up gimiks and good times so he can focus on his family.
He told the entertainment website, “I’m still the hard-working JC na nakilala ninyo, it’s just that naging family guy ako. At mas serious ako ngayon kasi siyempre, yung responsibility ko on my shoulders, mas iba na compared dun sa before. It’s still the same, mas nadagdagan lang talaga ng responsibility.”
[“I’m still the hard-working JC you know, it’s just that I became a family guy. I’m now more serious because the responsibility on my shoulders are now different. It’s still the same, I just have more responsibilities.”]
Instead of focusing on himself and what he wants, he now chooses to concentrate on his family. He said, “Most of the time, I spend it with my family. I cook for them, I take care of them, nilalabas ko sila, dinadala ko sila sa ibang lugar. Yung buong buhay ko ngayon, umiikot sa kanila. And lahat ng purpose ko ngayon sa buhay ay lahat dahil sa kanila.”
[“Most of the time, I spend it with my family. I cook for them, I take care of them, I take them out to different places. My whole life revolves around them. My purpose in life is now because of them.”]
JC is currently with his non-showbiz partner Rikkah Cruz. Together, they are raising their daughter Lana Athena, who is turning two in 2020. Last year, the actor said that he is ready to marry his girlfriend and they are just waiting for their daughter to be able to walk down the aisle with her mother.
