Ken Chan's onscreen partner, Rita Daniela, came to support him during the grand opening of his new business.
Ken Chan made the holiday season more joyous as he officially launched his Christmas-themed café called Café Claus on Sunday, December 26.
In his Instagram Stories, the talented Kapuso actor shared snippets on what went on during the successful first day of operation of his new business, dubbed as the "first Christmas café in the Philippines" where people can dine all-year-round.
The café's specialties are inspired by the Yuletide season in which the food in its menu are named after famous Christmas characters like the reindeers in the classic Christmas song "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
To mark its launch, Ken held a media conference, attended by select reporters, with some of the café's chefs.
Meanwhile, Ken's on-screen partner, Rita Daniela, also came to support him during Café Claus's grand opening.
In an interview during the media launch of Café Claus, Rita said she became more in love with Ken because of him being business-minded. Apart from having a café, Ken also co-owns a chain of gasoline stations and co-founded a wellness brand.
"Mas nakaka-in love, kahit sinong babae gusto nila 'yung may makakatulong sila sa buhay, hindi 'yung puro mukha lang kasi sa totoo lang, hindi ka naman mapapakain ng itsura e. Kapag tumanda, kailangan mo ito [utak], So itong katabi ko [Ken], meron siya, "Rita said, before pointing Ken's head.
Rita also shared how proud she is of Ken whom she said is husband material.
"Kaya I'm just so proud of him kasi hindi siya nag-stick lang do'n sa box.
"Ando'n siya outside of the box, gano'n siya mag-isip which is nakaka-proud dahil, syempre, sa 'ming mga artista, mahirap kasi na do'n lang nanggagaling 'yung kinikita mo and ever since hindi siya gano'n.
"Lagi siyang meron at merong pinagkukunan so nakita ko 'yon lalo na no'ng pandemya, hindi siya masyadong nag-struggle so I salute him for that."
Asked if having a joint business came across their minds, Ken and Rita responded affirmatively, sharing they would love to have an apparel brand that sells outfits inspired by their previous TV characters.
