“Opo. Siguro ngayon, ayokong madaliin kung ano man ‘yung pinagdadaanan naming dalawa,” Richards said, opting not to expound on the “intention” the TV host was referring to. (Yes. Maybe for now, I don’t want to rush what the two of us are currently going through.)

“I think she has all the time in the world now that she has been able to try new things,” he added.
