Kim Jones: I just want to be Mrs. Rosales now

MANILA -- Jericho Rosales and Kim Jones have set their wedding date in 2014, a year after the celebrity couple announced their engagement. "We have a date. We do, yeah. It will be next year, it will be around middle of next year," the TV host-model was quoted as saying by entertainment news site Philippine Entertainment Portal in a report published Wednesday. Asked to reveal the exact date, Jones said, "It's a secret. It's a secret for now. You know what, it will come around so fast that even if I did reveal it, it will just go by in a second. But, yeah, we're looking at middle of next year." Jones and Rosales, who went public with their relationship only in March 2012, were already a couple as early as October 2011. They first met in March of that year, when they were introduced by a mutual friend. They announced their engagement last August. Referring to the wedding, Jones said, "It's months and months away yet so we haven't decided all of the details yet but we do know that we definitely wanna get married at the beach." "So that’s what we’re focusing on now. I mean, we just want the people that we love there. The people that have played a role in our relationship or people that we just love to be around — that's who we want on our wedding," she said. The Filipino-Australian model went on to express excitement about the wedding, saying, "I just want to be a wife now — be Mrs. Rosales." While the wedding is still several months away, Jones is already looking ahead to a married life. She emphasized, however, that she and Rosales are unlikely to set aside their respective careers even then. "Nothing's going to change. We're both really still focused on our careers and things. We both just want to have... we just wanna be married, we just want each other's support, and be each other's asawa," she said.

Jericho, Kim Jones overwhelmed by support

MANILA – Newly engaged couple Jericho Rosales and Kim Jones are overwhelmed by the support that they have been receiving since the actor proposed to the TV host last Sunday. Two days after the public proposal, the two were cornered by reporters when they attended Gary Valeciano’s concert on Tuesday. “Amazing. It’s been overwhelming the past 48 hours of being really really special. Everyone has been so supportive, everyone on Twitter, our friends and our family. It’s been really good,” Jones said. For his part, Rosales said he now thinks of himself as more “macho” after Jones agreed to marry him. “Sobrang kaba ko and then nung umoo siya sa akin, hindi ko alam kung ano 'yung nag-iba. Parang mas masaya ako ngayon, mas kumpleto, mas excited sa buhay, mas ganado sa trabaho. I know that great things are ahead of us, hindi ko pa ma-explain hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa maipasok sa sistema ko. Basta alam ko lang umoo siya,” he said. Rosales said he has been thinking of the perfect occasion to propose to Jones but believes it just happened at the right time. “I prayed about it hard but matagal na rin 'yung desire ko to ask Kim na. I started preparing for it emotionally, physically, mentally, financially. When I looked at it, sabi ko everything’s ready, okay na,” he said. Both said they are planning a beach wedding since it was also in a beach here in the Philippines where their relationship began. “One of the first times we really started to date was when he took me to the beach in La Union and he taught me how to surf. That’s sort of what started the whole dreamy eyes. We have a lot of things in common – surfing, travelling. I think that’s why it worked,” she said. According to Rosales, they have yet to pick a date and a place to tie the knot, but said it will definitely be in the country. “Dito lang, maganda dito sa atin eh. Maraming magagandang beach. Huwag na tayo lumayo,” he said.

Jericho Rosales opens up about girlfriend Kim

MANILA, Philippines -- Jericho Rosales was ready to quit showbiz and leave for New York when he met Kim Jones, who is now his girlfriend for more than a year. In an interview on the late-night talk show "Martin Late @ Night" aired Friday, the 33-year-old actor said he was introduced to Jones, an Australian national, by a common friend. At the time, Rosales said he had already set his mind to leave the Philippines, citing struggles in his personal life and career. "That was the time when I wanted to give up already, when I wanted to move to New York, that was before signing up with ABS-CBN ... and then I met Kim," he said. Jones, a commercial model and TV host, in an earlier interview said her first meeting with Rosales was in March 2011. She said she didn't know that she was being set up with a popular actor. It wasn't until two months later when they met again, according to Jones. The lifestyle show host shared that Rosales eventually won her over through their shared passion for sports and his sense of humor. They became a couple in October 2011. "It's very seldom that you meet a person in this business na talagang parang normal person," Rosales said of his girlfriend during his interview on "Martin Late @ Night." "Parang, like, whatever happens, parang walang arte sa katawan, talagang chill lang talaga, parang normal person," he said. During the talk show's episode, host Martin Nievera showed a white rectangular clock with markings on its surface. Referring to the writings, Rosales said they are "great and awesome memories [of my relationship with Kim], funny things we want to remember. We just want to remember special moments." In February, the Kapamilya actor said he has discussed "settling down" with Jones. "Pinag-usapan namin, pinagbibiruan namin. I think I found the one for me and that's her," he said.
