Apart from being the husband of Toni Gonzaga, we knew so little about Paul Soriano’s romantic history until he opened up about is past girlfriends in an episode of TWBA.
The celebrated filmmaker said he considers Toni as his first love and it wasn’t just a dictate of emotions but rather a decision he made. “I chose and made a decision on my own to spend the rest of my life with her.”
Before meeting ‘the one,’ Paul had his first girlfriend in senior high school. She was his puppy love and bestfriend. And another girl came during his early 20s.
Calling his ex-girlfriends “beautiful women,” Paul acknowledge that meeting them was part of his journey towards finding Toni because of the lessons he got from them. “I had two girlfriends. I learned about life especially at that moment I was young, I think 18 was my first one, then 22 or 24, so I learned a lot from them.”
Like a typical young man, Paul of course had “fun times with girls you meet.” He continued, “You end up having a little bit of friendship and it becomes a little bit of flirting. I guess I was very immature at that time, very spontaneous, just living and not really caring about tomorrow.”
Paul and Toni tied the knot in 2015. According to Toni in an episode of I Feel U, they were introduced to each other when Paul came to the Philippines for a directorial project. And it was no doubt a case of love at first sight for her.
