Love, it seems, has become the quiet engine behind the songs of James Reid. And according to the actor-singer himself, the muse behind many of those melodies is none other than his girlfriend, Issa Pressman.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview, Reid admitted with disarming honesty that romance has slipped into nearly every line he writes these days.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s the strongest emotion I have right now!\u201d<\/p>\n Love is not just a passing theme but a steady rhythm in his life. Reid described his relationship with Pressman as an \u201cincredible ride\u201d that continues to grow stronger with time.<\/p>\n \u201cOur relationship has been an incredible ride. The love is growing more and more every day, so that\u2019s what I really write about. I guess most of it is inspired by her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Two songs in particular sit close to his heart. Reid shared that he often dedicates \u201cPahinga\u201d and \u201cBlessed\u201d to Pressman, tracks that echo the calm and gratitude he says he feels in their relationship.<\/p>\n The couple first went public with their romance in 2023, a development that drew plenty of attention. Yet for Reid, the formula that keeps their bond steady is surprisingly simple.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, it\u2019s something two people reach some time in their lives. Just choose each other every day!\u201d<\/p>\n That philosophy also extends to how they deal with disagreements. Reid said they try not to let pride take the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I wrote it in one of my songs, \u2018Pahinga.\u2019 It contains the lyrics, \u2018Ikaw ang mahalaga kaysa maging tama.\u2019 Choosing each other over being right or over a fight. Just waking up and choosing each other every day.\u201d<\/p>\n Support, it turns out, flows both ways. Reid shared that Pressman is closely involved even in the creative side of his work, often offering ideas about how he can approach his roles.<\/p>\n That encouragement comes as Reid prepares for his upcoming primetime drama Someone, Someday, where he will star opposite Kathryn Bernardo.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s right! She is incredibly supportive. In fact, she comes up with a lot of ideas with my character and how I can make it work,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s no weirdness or anything. We\u2019re all professionals. Acting is our job. We take it very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n Fresh from his stint inside the famous house of Pinoy Big Brother, Heath Jornales recently spoke about his admiration for fellow housemate Caprice Cayetano, who emerged as the big winner of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0.<\/p>\n Asked about Cayetano, the young actor did not hold back his praise.<\/p>\n \u201cI admire her so much. And I\u2019m proud of her because she\u2019s gone far already in her career. She\u2019s simply great!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Inside the house, viewers often speculated about possible romantic sparks among the celebrity housemates. But when asked if he secretly had a crush on any of the female contestants, Jornales quickly cleared the air.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, honestly, none!\u201d<\/p>\n Still, fans have been busy pairing him with Cayetano online, turning the duo into a budding fan favorite. Jornales said he sees the enthusiasm as something positive.<\/p>\n \u201cActually, it\u2019s nice. We can feel that our fanbase is growing. Everything that we did inside Bahay ni Kuya, I\u2019m grateful that the fans liked it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Adding to the buzz are reports that the two could soon appear together in a project, a development that has already stirred excitement among supporters.<\/p>\n \u201cYes! I\u2019ve heard about it and it\u2019s definitely a happy development. I was surprised at first though I really haven\u2019t talked to my management yet about it. This early, I\u2019m thrilled,\u201d Jornales said.<\/p>\n – Advertisement –<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source manilastandard.net \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Love, it seems, has become the quiet engine behind the songs of James Reid.
