In his recent guest appearance on Tunay na Buhay, Khalil Ramos and Gabbi Garcia shared their cute love story with host Pia Arcangel.

Turns out, the way Gabbi and Khalil met each other is very much relatable: they were introduced by a common friend!

During the interview, Khalil told Pia, “So kami ni Gab, nagkakilala kami during the debut of one of our closest friends, si Julia Barretto.

“And then ang nagpakilala sa aming dalawa is also one of our closest friends, si Kathryn (Bernardo).”

Khalil said Kathryn introduced him to Gabbi with the intention to really pair them up, and fortunately, Kathryn did a good job as a matchmaker that night because he was instantly attracted to Gabbi.

“First impression ko…she was so elegant during that time e. Because she was so ano e dressed up, as in super elegant. She had her hair in a bun. She had such a nice dress.

“So, from the get-go parang 'Woah!' But when I got to talk to her during that night, she was such a sweet person. She was someone that you can easily talk to.

“She was really warm. That's how I would explain my first impression of her. She was such a warm person.”

Global endorser Gabbi Garcia also shared some of Khalil's qualities that she fell in love with.

Gabbi said, “Khalil kasi is a very wise and smart guy. he's very deep and what I love about him is ano siya e…may pagka-misteryoso. You'll never really get to know the full him until you actually spend time with him.”

Khalil and Gabbi met again two years after their first meeting. It was then when they started a friendship that eventually led to courtship and then became an official relationship.

The celebrity couple had been together for three years now, and this year marks an exciting and important point in their relationship and their respective careers.

Gabbi and Khalil are slated to star together in a TV series for the first time. GabLil will be part of the new GMA Public Affairs series 'Love You Stranger.'
