Shares her role in his health transformation.
Donnalyn Bartolome showed up in full support mode at the recent media screening of the first episodes of “My Bespren Emman,” and yes, emotions were very much involved.
The singer-content creator attended the screening for the inspirational drama directed by Derick Cabrido and Jerome Pobocan, which stars her boyfriend JM de Guzman alongside Shaina Magdayao and Sid Lucero. The series is now airing on TV5.
Asked about JM’s performance, Donnalyn said: “I felt like crying… This is what makes me love Juan Miguel. I’m just very grateful for this project because this brings him closer to God.”
She added that watching him onscreen always hits her emotionally. “Of course, he’s always amazing. When I watch him, I get emotional.”
Love and discipline
Beyond moral support, Donnalyn also shared how she’s been helping JM behind the scenes, particularly with his health. Acting as his “nutritionist,” she helped him stay disciplined with his diet and even his water intake.
“He lost 15 pounds. He’s achieved that,” she said, while also reminding people that body changes vary. “Just because people gain weight, it doesn’t mean they don’t take care of themselves… you just need to be careful. And it’s his discipline as well.”
I felt like crying… This is what makes me love Juan Miguel. I’m just very grateful for this project because this brings him closer to God.
