Understanding Each Other’s Love Language
Celebrity couple TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan have proven that true love can endure. Their 11-year partnership has made them each other’s constant companion, or “palagi.” During a recent press event for their upcoming fan meet titled “Never ‘Bean’ Sweeter,” held at a popular venue in Mandaluyong, the musicians opened up about the key to their lasting relationship.
They shared, “Simple lang yung sagot ko. Knowing your partner’s love language. It’s a practical answer, pero ang laki-laki ng tulong sa relationship.” This straightforward advice highlights the importance of understanding how your partner expresses and receives love.
Small Details Matter
TJ explained that paying attention to small gestures has helped keep their bond strong. He recalled a touching moment when KZ became emotional over a simple act: “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.” This story illustrates how meaningful even the smallest acts can be when they align with a partner’s love language.
On the other hand, KZ emphasized how understanding TJ’s love language has deepened her feelings for him. She shared, “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.”
Mindfulness in Every Decision
KZ also pointed out the role 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.” This thoughtful approach encourages couples to consider how their actions impact one another.
Memorable Fan Interactions
As part of the Dunkin’ Donuts family, TJ and KZ are preparing for their first fan meet, “Never ‘Bean’ Sweeter,” scheduled for May 25, 2025, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. They fondly remembered some unforgettable fan encounters during previous events.
KZ recounted a humorous airport greeting where fans showed up with blue hair, expecting her to have the same: “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 a long journey, seeing her fans energized her, “Galing kami nun sa mahabang biyahe. Pero nung nakita ko sila nawala yung pagod ko.”
Meanwhile, TJ shared a surprising fan tribute: “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.” These moments highlight the strong connection they have built with their audience.
