Dia Mate has nothing but appreciation for the impact of her boyfriend, Juan Karlos, on both her personal life and music career.
On Tuesday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," the Filipina beauty queen was asked about the extent of JK's role in her life.
"Super masaya ako, Tito Boy, of course. Kasi he's one of my biggest supporters and also my best friend," Dia said.
Beyond emotional support, JK also actively contributes to Dia's professional journey.
"He really helps me, especially with the music industry, like he helps me with my music and when I need advice," Dia said.
She consults him for feedback, asking questions like, "JK, OK ba 'to? Are these lyrics OK?" In response, the "Ere" hitmaker would offer his valuable constructive feedback and suggestions.
"He has a different perspective compared to my own," Dia said.
Dia has several songs to her name. She recently released the track "Ina," a collaboration with Regine Velasquez.
JK hard-launched their relationship in February last year. He was also supportive of Dia's pageant journey.
Dia competed in Miss World Philippines 2024, where she was crowned Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas and then won the international title. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
