Freddie Aguilar to Marry a teenager Girlfriend?
The famous 60-year-old hitmaker, Freddie Aguilar, recently opened his relationship with a 16-year-old girl.
After Freddie Aguilar received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 5th Star Awards for Music, he admitted that he is currently having an affair with a teenager.
"'Yung kasama ko, girlfriend... 'Yung [girlfriend ko, ano... 16 lang siya, eh," Aguilar was quoted as saying by entertainment news site Philippine Entertainment Portal.
According to Aguilar, he didn't have any idea of the the woman's age when he started courting her. "Nung malaman ko, sabi ko, 'Andun na, eh. Ano pa ang magagawa ko?' Aatras ka ba noon, eh na-in love na?" he said.
Asked how his girlfriend's parents reacted about their relationship, Aguilar said, "Tanggap na rin siguro. Sabi lang daw sa kanya, 'Mag-ingat ka diyan, babaero daw 'yan!'"
"Mag-iingat ako, kasi kung may magrereklamo, alam mo na, baka may magkatuwaan. Pero 'yung consent ng mga magulang, nasa akin," the veteran singer added.
With a 44-year age gap, Aguilar said he and his girlfriend have had to make adjustments for their relationship. He expressed confidence that their age difference won't become a problem in the long run.
"Actually, ang maganda sa kanya ay she's trying na bumagay sa akin. Ako naman, bumababa ako sa level niya," Aguilar said, detailing some of their shared activities.
"Halimbawa, gusto niyang mag-Jollibee, sasamahan ko siya doon. Minsan naman, gusto kong mag-fine dining, sasama naman siya sa akin. Gusto niyang mag-sine, kahit di ako mahilig mag-sine, sasamahan ko siya. Pero grupo kami," he said.
As for being called a "cradle snatcher," Aguilar shrugged this off, saying it won't be the first time. The singer noted that his third wife was only 17 when they first became a couple. The music veteran said he is ready to marry his current girlfriend, but added they wouldn't be allowed to wed at this time considering her age.
As for building a new family with his 16-year-old partner, Aguilar, said, "We're talking about having a baby. 'Yun ang pinag-usapan namin. Sabi ko sa kanya, 'Parang ang bata mo pa para magka-baby.' Sabi naman niya, 'Hindi, gusto kong magka-baby, e.' So, we're talking about it." - ABS-CBN news
