They were good friends for a long time before they found love in each other.
One thing she was not counting on is falling in love this soon.
Everyone knows that actress Bea Alonzo did not have a good break up with actor Gerald Anderson, who quickly moved on and is now romancing Julia Barretto. But then, love bloomed between Bea and good friend Dominique Roque.
Dominique and Bea have been friends for a while. Apparently he has been harboring feelings for her, but Bea was unaware of this. She only sensed Dominique’s interest in her when he started inviting her out.
Well, Bea and Dominique are now open about their feelings — and their relationship. The two have just returned from their United States sojurn. There is no talk yet of anything serious between the two, but who knows when the relationship will lead in the near future.

Bea is just grateful she’s busy. Since her transfer to ABS-CBN, projects have been lined up before her.
First, there’s a series, which she intimated when she guested in the “Boobay and Tekla Show” last Sunday. She has already met with the other members of the cast, the production staff, and its director. There was immediate rapport among them.
“Kaya I can hardly wait na mag-start work na kami,” she said.
But Dominique advised her to not rush things. “Dahan dahan lang,” he told her.
