Carla Abellana and Reginald Santos


Carla Abellana on Dr. Reginald Santos: "Gustong gusto ko 'yung tinatatawag ko siyang asawa ko"

Love continues to grow sweeter for Kapuso actress Carla Abellana and her non-showbiz husband, Dr. Reginald Santos.

Recently, Carla showed all-out support for her husband's passion for photography.

Aside from attending an art exhibit featuring his works, the actress also joined Reginald in supporting a meaningful cause tied to the event. As fellow dog lovers, part of the proceeds from the exhibit will be donated to a non-government organization that Carla supports.

In an interview with 24 Oras, Reginald expressed his gratitude and love for Carla's support in his hobby.

"When we travel, sometimes, bigla 'kong mawawala. Andun ako sa isang sulok, she knows that I saw something, so she'll let me be. She'll wait for me. So that's how she is, that's how supportive she is," he said.

Carla also expressed her admiration for her husband's interests, "He's a very avid film enthusiast, lalo na sa photography. Paborito niya lalo na kapag monochromatic, so black-and-white."

The support goes both ways, as Reginald also emphasized his dedication to his wife's well-being and career.

"Whatever it is that she needs for her career and for her health, of course. That's my primary focus para sa kanya. Being a doctor, I've saved so many. Of course, my wife, primarily, I need to take care of her," he said.

While adjustments were inevitable, especially for Reginald who is a private person, the couple shared that they continue to enjoy married life while fully supporting one another.

Reginald even jokingly mentioned hoping to surpass the length of Carla's previous marriage.

"May mga adjustments pa nang konti, pero ano pa rin kami, 'yung medyo on high pa rin kami from wedding," Carla added.

"Gustong-gusto ko 'yung tinatatawag ko siyang asawa ko or my husband."

Carla tied the knot with Dr. Reginald Santos in an intimate wedding in Tagaytay on December 27.

The Kapuso actress also previously shared how she found healing in her husband following her past marriage with actor Tom Rodriguez.

"But with Reg definitely, nakatulong po 'yun na talagang okay. Puwede mong bigyan ang sarili mo ng second chance. You can love again. You can open your heart again," Carla said during her interview on Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.
