Kapuso star Elle Villanueva couldn't hide her happiness and how blessed she felt, whether in her career or love life.

Recently, she renewed ties with her Sparkle family at the prestigious Signed for Stardom 2024 event and was also launched as one of the confident women of Sparkle 10.

Aside from her blooming career, Elle's relationship with Kapuso actor Derrick Monasterio has continued to grow sweeter with their love for each other.

In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, Elle shared an update on her romantic relationship with Derrick. The Sparkle actress expressed how their love had grown and how Derrick made sure to spend quality time with her.

"Very happy. Kung nasaan man stage kami ngayon ni Derrick, talagang through, continuous 'yung padagdag nang padagdag ang love and hindi ko nafe-feel sa kanya na kulang siya, feeling ko ako pa 'yung nagkukulang," she said.

Elle added, "So right now, itong stage namin ngayon sobrang happy ako at sobrang happy ako na-meet ko siya dito sa Sparkle."

Now that their starred GMA drama series Makiling concluded, Elle and Derrick plan to spend more quality time together, such as going on dates and traveling.

The Sparkle star revealed that one of their plans is to visit Europe at the end of the year together with her mom.

"Dahil tapos na ang Makiling, we're planning to go on a vacation so gusto sana namin mag-Christmas sa Europe together with my mom. So sana mangyari iyon kasi ngayon medyo busy 'yung schedule namin especially noong Makiling eh. So ngayon nakapagplano kami ni Derrick," she said.

Last February, the couple was seen celebrating Elle's birthday on one of the beaches in the country.

The duo posted some of their sweet photos, while Derrick even took to Instagram to dedicate another birthday post to his girlfriend with the caption: "Celebrating the Aquarius baby's birthday at the beach where she belongs.”
