Puppy love. That’s how Maja Salvador describes her relationship with Matteo Guidicelli.

“Yung relationship namin parang puppy love, hindi kami nagmamadali. Simple lang yung relasyon namin, hindi pa kami todo bigay sa lahat-lahat,” Maja said at the press conference of “My Cactus Heart” at Dolce Latte in Quezon City on Saturday, January 14.

Maja plays Sandy Makalintal, a girl who is scared of falling in love.

In real life, Maja knows falling love requires her to adjust. She did just that when they started their relationship more than a year ago. Thus, she and Matteo understand each other more.

“Yung umpisa po siguro ng relasyon, kelangan mag-adjust ng bawat isa. Pero ngayon, mas naiintindihan na namin ang bawat isa,” Maja goes on.

The sweethearts hurdled challenges to their relationship last year, including a misunderstanding with Coco Martin and rumors about a split.

Ready for marriage?

Is she ready to become Mrs. Guidicelli?

“Marami pa siyang kailangan patunayan,” Maja replies.

Instead of talking about marriage, Maja and Matteo prefer to discuss short-term plans, such as out-of-the country trips after five years.

“Ang mga plano namin, mga after five years, out of the country, kasi ang gusto ko sana si Matteo na,” she said.

She adds that she and Matteo often go on group dates or with their families, instead of limiting their time to just the two of them. “Yung relationship namin kasi parang barkada na sobrang nagmamahalan. At hindi rin namin minamadali ang lahat. “

Maja thinks time will come when both of them will be ready for marriage.

“Darating din yung araw na yun at sana nga kapag ready na kami pareho ay ganun pa rin kalaki yung pagmamahal namin sa isa't isa,” Maja mused.

Supportive family

She denied rumors that Matteo’s family doesn’t like her.

“Very supportive naman po ang family ni Matteo. Pasok ang beauty ko,” she said, smiling.

Maja adds that their problems as a couple don’t stem from their separate families.

“Kung nagkaproblema po man kami, hindi yun dahil sa family nya or family ko. Feeling ko bawat relasyon, may pinagdadaanan na problema. Pero at least, ang maganda po, naayos namin at hindi kami nagpatalo sa mga negative na lumalabas,” Maja shares.



Maja relates that she doesn’t promise Matteo anything, since he knows how much she loves him. She also seldom talks about her relationship with Matteo to the press. But she knows people around her see how much she takes care of him.

"Ayaw ko kasing mangako. Alam naman niya na handa akong ibigay ang lahat pagmamahal na kaya ko. Pero dapat pahalagahan niya yun,” Maja says.

How do they take care of their relationship?

“Para mag-work ang isang relationship, hindi lang isa ang nagtatrabaho. Dapat kayong dalawa para tumibay at maging masaya ang isang relasyon, " Maja answers.

Xian Lim completes the love triangle in “My Cactus Heart”, which is Maja and Matteo’s first movie together.

Star Cinema’s latest offering is directed by Enrico Santos and opens in theaters on January 25.
