Relationship Advice from TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan
Celebrity couple TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan have shown what lasting love looks like. Celebrating an 11-year partnership, they describe each other as their constant support or “palagi.” Recently, they shared valuable relationship advice during a press event for their upcoming fan meet, “Never ‘Bean’ Sweeter,” held at a popular venue in Mandaluyong.
The couple emphasized a simple yet powerful key to their enduring bond: knowing your partner’s love language. “Simple lang yung sagot ko. Knowing your partner’s love language. It’s a practical answer, pero ang laki-laki ng tulong sa relationship,” they revealed. This approach has helped them connect deeply and navigate their relationship with understanding.
The Importance of Love Languages
TJ explained that paying attention to small details has played a big role in keeping their relationship strong. He recounted a touching moment when KZ became emotional over a seemingly minor gesture. “So pagpasok niya ng kwarto nun nakita ko parang naluluha siya so nagtanong ako bakit anong nangyari sayo. Tapos sabi ni KZ sa akin kasi nilagyan mo ng toothpaste yung toothbrush ko, kaya siya naging emotional kasi ang love language ni KZ ay acts of service,” he shared.
On the other hand, KZ expressed that understanding TJ’s love language has helped her realize the depth of her feelings. “At least for us, ayun ang pinakamalaking tulong sa relationship kasi now we understand each other better because we know our love languages, kumbaga alam ko na kung paano ko papakita kay TJ na mahal ko sita, alam din ni TJ kung paano niya nararamdaman sa akin na mahal niya ako,” she said.
Mindfulness and Mutual Understanding
Beyond love languages, KZ highlighted the importance of empathy in their relationship. “Also, being mindful of each other. Every time we make a decision parang kailangan mo ma-imagine kung ikaw yung nasa shoes ng partner mo how would you feel kung gagawin niya sa’yo on what you’re about to do. So I think ayun ang nag work for us,” she explained. This mindset helps them consider each other’s feelings before taking action.
Memorable Fan Encounters
As part of their role in the Dunkin’ Donuts family, TJ and KZ shared some unforgettable moments with their fans during previous gigs and mall shows. KZ recalled a funny incident at the airport, “Pagdating ko airport yung mga sumalubong sa akin mga naka blue na buhok. Kasi akala nila blue pa rin buhok ko. So pagdating ko dun lahat sila nagulat kasi hindi na blue yung buhok ko. Ending nag mukha kaming dance troupe.” Despite their long journey, seeing their fans energized KZ instantly.
TJ, meanwhile, was amazed by a dedicated fan who tattooed his Twitter username on their arm. “For me, na-a-amaze ako kapag may pinapa-tattoo ng lyrics ng kanta ko. Pero pinaka nagulat ako is yung pina-tattoo niya yung username ko sa Twitter. Hindi ko alam kung bakit,” he said.
