Viral meet-cute traces seven-year love story to theater audition

Their story began while auditioning for a theater production in college. While Villacorta admitted he was not looking to make new friends, Ocrisma had already zeroed in on him, thinking, “Who. Is. That. Guy?”

Seven years later, it is still the little things and subtle gestures that keep the romance alive. Villacorta melted hearts by sharing that Ocrisma quietly removes his glasses whenever he falls asleep wearing them.

The couple also laughed about Ocrisma being the first to say “I love you”—however drunkenly and over the phone. Villacorta, meanwhile, confessed he waited about a month before saying it back, joking that he “had to make sure.”

Looking ahead, both are excited to continue building a life together. Villacorta shared that he feels “safe and happy” with Ocrisma by his side, adding that he hopes they can one day have a family.

For anyone still waiting for their own love story, Ocrisma had a brief advice: “Just be you, because your vibe will attract your tribe.” Pointing to his partner, he added with a smile, “This is my tribe.”

Villacorta is also a digital creator known for his beauty, fashion, and color analysis content. Ocrisma, meanwhile, is an award-winning stage actor, who appeared in productions such as “Bar Boys: A New Musical,” “Mula sa Buwan,” and “Zsazsa Zaturnnah.”
