Christian Bautista says his girlfriend is okay with ShinIan reunion



Hindi daw issue sa girlfriend ni Christian Bautista ang pagbabalik ng tambalang ShinIan sa Party Pilipinas ngayong isang Kapuso na ang Romantic Balladeer.

In a press interview last March 24, Christian opened up about his first Party Pilipinas performance, which included singing again with ex-girlfriend Rachelle Ann Go.
 
"She supports me in everything. She knows about the love team between Rachelle and myself, but she understands," shares Christian when asked about the reaction of his girlfriend Carla Dunareanu on his much-awaited reunion with Rachelle Ann.
 
"She's okay with it. Talagang pinag-usapan namin, and she was so open about it kasi actress din siya. She just finished a Repertory [Philippines] replay of Boeing Boeing and she was kissing all these guys. It's part of the job," he adds.
 
Christian and Carla met on the set of the musical drama series The Kitchen Musical in 2011, and have been together since February last year.
 
Napansin din ng press ang lakas ng sigaw at palakpak nang muling mag-duet sina Christian at Rachelle sa “Live Now” segment. "We've been doing that for so many years before, tapos nagkaroon ng pause. Ngayon, parang biglang bumalik ang dating feeling kapag kumakanta kami on stage. Talagang wow, ang sarap! Hindi lang kasi sa amin 'yun eh, everyone feels it. Kapag mayroon kayong energy on stage, everyone feels it. At na-feel ng tao, na-feel talaga namin."
 
Christian also immediately felt at ease in his new home. He says, "Halos kilala ko na silang lahat, 'yun na lang mga new stars [ang hindi]. Pero wow, at home agad pagdating sa rehearsal pa lang. Nawala 'yung kaba. Ang nangyari is excitement, tapos 'yung happiness."
 
He acknowledges the fact that he has a lot to learn in spite of being friends with a lot of Kapuso artists. "Ngayon is a new stage in my life, and siguro I want to get the feel of it. 'Yun din 'yung pagdating ko kanina. Kahit na kilala ko sila, I got to feel the system. Marami pa akong kailangang matutunan."
