John Prats revealed that his former love team partner, Heart Evangelista, played a huge role in his love story with his wife, Isabel Oli, with whom he now has three children.

In the latest episode of Heart World, John shared that Heart was one of the people who encouraged Isabel to give their relationship a chance. According to him, “Kaya ako sinagot ni Liv (Isabel) dahil sa kanya rin, dahil binigyan niya ng go signal.”

Heart recalled telling Isabel that John was already “the one” and that pursuing a relationship with him would never be a waste of time. “If you don't wanna waste your time on anybody, siya na talaga 'yon,” she said.

John also expressed his gratitude to Heart for being part of his personal journey, saying she has always supported him through the years. He also hoped their bond would remain the same despite the passage of time.

He said, "Buti nga good words yung sabi n'ya. When I was going here, I am more excited than nervous. Sabi ko na lang, sana 'pag nag-usap kami parang dati."

Meanwhile, Heart became emotional as she praised John for surviving the entertainment industry and building a beautiful life with his family. She shared how proud she is of him for staying grounded despite his success.

She declared, "You treasure your heart so much na kaya mong mabuhay kahit na hindi na sila ang mandidikta kung sino ka, kung sino kasama mo. And I feel like you deserve that because you always worked hard since you were a child and not many child actors would be standing in your position now. Aside from that, you're married, you have children, you have a beautiful home."

Heart then assured John that their friendship would always remain strong. She said, "This is a forever friendship, yun ang sabi ko rin kay Angelica [Panganiban] na kahit anong mangyari, forever ko kayong mahal, e."

John, in turn, thanked Heart for never changing and for continuing to be an important person in his life, both on and off camera.

He said, "'Di ka mawawala sa buhay ko because 'di lang sa mata ng maraming tao but even for me, malaki yung part mo sa journey ko. Alam ko nakikita ng mga tao is ngayon pero 'di nila alam kung paano ka before, kung paano ka naging ganyan na bata ka pa lang, yun ka na. And I'm just so happy na hindi ka rin nagbago kasi coming here, akala ko talaga ma-i-intimidate ako."
