John Lloyd nagpasiklab sa kusina

Did you know na bukod pala sa patuloy na pag-aaral online, nag-enroll din si Sarah Geronimo ng culinary arts.

No wonder, she can cook any recipe, like a true professional. But obvious na mas prefer ni Sarah ang mag-bake, lalo’t ng mga pastries.

Magaling din na cook, gaya ni Sarah ang kanyang ka-loveteam sa Finally Found Someone na si John Lloyd Cruz.

Ipinakita niya ito nang mag-guest siya sa programang Magandang Buhay nina Karla Estrada, Melai Cantiveros, at Jolina Magdangal, nang niluto niya ang kanyang favorite recipe, na kainin man daw niya araw-araw ay hindi niya pagsasawaan.

Namana raw ni John Lloyd ang recipe sa kanyang ina.

But while natikman na raw ni John Lloyd ang cookies na paboritong i-bake ni Sarah, dahil ugali na nitong magdala, tuwing may shooting sila for Finally Found Someone, na ‘di lang siya ang sarap na sarap kung hindi ang iba pa nilang co-stars, plus the rest of the production staff, including direktor Theodore Boborol, sa Magandang Buhay lang natikman ni Sarah ang luto ni John Lloyd.

At ayon kay Sarah, yummy din daw ito.

Sarah ‘di tinanggap ang alok na singsing ni John Lloyd

Of Sarah, while ‘di niya ipinagkakailang taken na siya, kumbaga, since open book nga nanam na matagal-tagal na rin ang relasyon nila ni Matteo Guidicelli, John Lloyd’s lovelife is neither here not there pa.

Ganun pa man, hindi rin puwedeng ipagkailang close pa rin sila sa isa’t isa ng kanyang ex na si Angelica Panganiban.

Well, ‘di rin sikreto na nakailang girlfriends na si John Lloyd among his fellow Kapamilya. Unfortunately, Sarah is not one of them.

Sumubok daw si John Lloyd na bigyan ng sing­sing si Sarah habang ginagawa ang isa sa tatlong pelikula nila, bago ang Finally Found Someone.

Ganun pa man, dahil daw sa advice ng ilang taong close sa kanya, ‘di tinanggap ni Sarah ang singsing.
