It wasn't love at first sight with Brent and Nica. There was no meet-cute scenario nor a swoon-worthy how-we-met story. They just simply clicked the first time they talked to each other. This "click" then turned into fondness for each other, and eventually, turned into love and partnership.
In 2009, Brent and Nica kicked off their friendship with extremely long phone calls where they bonded over their love for music and super random conversations talking about anything and everything. However, they lost touch with each other for a while, went on with their lives and only got reunited again in late 2016 when they were both staying in Mindoro. Eventually, they started spending time with each other again and became official in 2017!
Their 6-year relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend went through many milestones, from doing long-distance for 3 years, to spending almost 24/7 with each other when Nica moved back to Mindoro during the pandemic, then even becoming business partners and co-managers. While their relationship evolved, what remained consistent is how much they enjoyed just talking to each other about anything and everything. And now, that they're about to enter a new chapter in their lives as a married couple, they look forward to the many adventures that life will bring them, but most importantly, the many many conversations that they'll have with each other, talking about anything and everything.
