Megan Young


Were the rumors about Megan Young being a diva on set true? The Kapuso beauty queen shares the truth in the latest episode of her podcast, '#BehindRelationshipGoals.'

In the latest episode of Mikael Daez and Megan Young's podcast, '#BehindRelationshipGoals,' the celebrity couple talked about their experience working together as actors and celebrities.

It took a while before Mikael and I actually got to work together. But there were many “attitudes” and “work habits” that we had yet to discover about each other. In the latest podcast episode of #BehindRelationshipGoals, we talk about our work habits in the past and in the present. Link is in bio! 🎙

At the start of their podcast, Mikael first shared a story of a rumor he heard regarding Megan's "work ethic" back when they first started dating.

"As soon as I entered showbusiness and I started working with brands and clients and started to get to know people who you worked with as well, I came across a couple of stories and I think you know these stories.

"Someone told me that Megan was 'suplada,' that she was a 'diva.' So those two words were specifically the two words that I heard. And I was like 'Oh, my God.' This was like year one, year two.

"When she has her makeup done, she has her resting 'B' face on. She just wasn't pleasant to work with.That caught me off guard because of course that's not the experience that I had with Megan," he said.

Megan then addressed that "diva" issue and shared her side of the story.

According to Megan, "I feel like we're both very different from who we were as professionals when we were much younger from now.

"I wasn't pleasant to work with when I was much younger, siguro I was like around 18 - 19, maybe 20. I was working on this show and I didn't know how to make 'pakisama,' the back of my head I was just thinking na 'Okay, I'll go to work, if I don't like something, I'll tell people that I don't like it.' But I didn't realize that there was a nicer way of saying things.

"It even came to a point where my PA at the time told me 'No one wants to do your makeup because you're such a diva, because you always make reklamo and you always say you don't like this or you don't like that.' I felt so bad after that. And that was like a shifting point for me, I talked to the makeup artists on my team and I apologized to them for acting that way."

Megan added that she didn't know any better at that age and was acting out of ignorance.

Aside from talking about Megan's past, the two also discussed the instances where they got to work together such as their first time in Dangwa, their team up in The Stepdaughters, and up to their current work relationship during quarantine.
