Ina Feleo reveals how mom Laurice Guillen acted during her meet-cute with Italian husband

Ina Feleo's mom, veteran actress and director Laurice Guillen, was apparently a witness to her meet-cute with her husband, Giacomo "James" Gervasutti.

On Wednesday's episode of "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," Ina shared how her mom acted when they encountered James and his dog at a park in Venice, Italy.

She said that she and her mom were just eating a sandwich and feeding the pigeons when a dog came in front of Ina.

"May nakita akong dog sa harapan ko. Sabi ko kay mommy, mom tignan mo ang cute ng aso," the 37-year-old actress.

Instead of focusing her attention on the dog, Ina's mom noticed its owner—James.

"'Yung mommy ko naman, [sabi] tignan mo 'yung may hawak sa aso," Ina said.

The  "Love. Die. Repeat" actress said she lifted her eyes and found James handsome.

"I don't know if it's love at first sight. But it's really like attraction," she said.

Laurice then told Ina that the man is going to approach her for sure. True enough, it happened just like she said!

But when James made it to Ina, he told her: "Do you know that it's illegal to feed the pigeons in Venice?"

According to Ina, she instantly felt embarrassed but then James smoothly added: "Besides they will fly above you and s--- on your beautiful hair and I would hate to see that."

That conversation led to the exchanging of email addresses between the two and they started to write letters to each other.

"After one year he arrived [in the Philippines]. Akala ko it was just a nice memory in Europe that you had your moment. Tapos feeling ko na-affirm ko na ang ganda ko! Tapos dumating, ay serious," Ina said.

Ina and James got married in 2020 at the Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo.

Ina previously starred in "Hearts on Ice" alongside Xian Lim and Ashley Ortega. She will be playing the role of Jennylyn Mercado's best friend in the upcoming 2024 GMA series, "Love. Die. Repeat."
