Toni Gonzaga, recalls the time she fell in love at first sight with just a photo of Director Paul Soriano
Toni Gonzaga said she fell in love with her now-husband, Director Paul Soriano, at first sight.

This is what the TV host-actress told Matteo Guidicelli recently when she was a guest on his podcast Matt Runs. The actor-podcast host asked her when she told herself that her husband, Paul, was “the one.”

“When I first saw his picture in [his] Multiply account, I knew it in my heart [it was him],” Toni confessed. [It was] 2008 [or] 2007, when I saw his picture in Multiply account.”

She said she didn’t really know him and had only heard his name from her friends and acquaintances.

“I’ve been hearing about his name…that there’s this director who’s from America…then Aunt Angeli, wife of Brother Gary Valenciano, she wants us to meet,” the actress recalled.

“He wanted to meet me. Then I kept hearing the name Paul Soriano. I was 23, 24 [years old]. I didn’t know him then. So, I looked at the Multiply account. ‘Who can introduce me?’ A young director?

“Then I looked at the picture. Then, I’ll never forget this, I said, ‘Shocks. It looks like this is the one I’m going to marry.’”

She even told her younger sister Alex about it, who just shrugged her shoulders at the time.

“Then, I remember the day I answered Paul, June 12, I went to my room. I said to Alex, ‘What’s that? This is the one I’m going to marry, this is what I said. I can really feel it.’ Alex said, ‘You’re welcome. Oh no, okay,'” Tony laughed as he looked back.

Matteo was amazed by what the actress shared with him.

“You’re so good at that. It’s like God has been with you since Day 1,” Sarah Geronimo’s husband commented.

“I feel like He spared me from all the heartaches because… These heartaches allowed me to build my fence that I won’t allow anyone to really hurt me that bad,” Toni replied.

“Because He already showed me warning signs. ‘How can you be hurt in this whole process of like doing your own thing and, you know, doing what I want you to do in your life.’ That’s all. It’s like that.”

And since he and Sarah had only been married for a year, Matt asked Toni about “leaving and cleaving,” which is the term for leaving your old family to join your spouse and start a new family.

Toni said she was aware of this because the first year of her marriage with Paul was challenging for her.

“The first year for me and Paul was the most difficult year of our entire marriage. I will remember that, as in, we were changing roles,” she said.

“Paul would always tell me about it [leaving and cleaving] but I never fully understood what [it was]. He’s not very religious but he has this kind of wisdom that seems…”

“He’s a leader, I guess,” Matteo said to her.

“Yes. Man of the house. Head of the household,” he added. “You know he has a good head on his shoulders. He also has wisdom that makes me think. He’s the one who told me to leave and cleave.

“It’s just that when I got married, that’s when I realized it’s not just physically leaving your old house and your old life. Because I thought when I left my house I already left. But no,” Toni confessed.

“My mind, my emotions were all still living with my parents. Because for 30 years I have lived with them so your whole body is programmed, ‘This is my system. This is my life…’

“So, for the first year of our marriage I would also consult my parents, I would always run to them for advice. I didn’t get the whole idea that, ‘That’s not who you are anymore. You are somebody’s wife and you are one.’”

She says it was really hard for her to submit to her husband at first because she wasn’t used to that kind of set-up.

“I can’t accept that time when it was, ‘Huh? You’re my boss or I will submit to you? I cannot submit to you.’ It’s like that,” the actress continued to recall.

“It’s so hard to grasp. But you know, submitting is not bowing down to your husband and adoring your husband and worshiping your husband.

“Submitting is allowing him to lead your family. It’s not dying or playing small or you will die to yourself just to please your husband. I don’t think that’s the real meaning of submitting to your husband. Submitting is honoring your husband and honoring his decisions as well.”

It is said that Paul does not ignore his say in his decisions for their family.

“But it doesn’t mean that when Paul makes a decision he doesn’t consult me,” Toni clarified. “He always consults me ’cause we are one. It’s just that you allow him. Because, he’s the head of the household and you [as wife] are the light of the house. Be that light.

“They seem to say, ‘don’t you, the husband is the head, the wife is the neck. So, we seem to be supporting each other. But of course, you have to know who you are submitting to, right? If he doesn’t submit, you have to re-calibrate your decisions.”

Her parents also reportedly had a hard time adjusting to their child having their own family.

“Yeah, oo. It was also a bit difficult for them in the beginning because we had rules in our house. We didn’t have visitors until about 9:00 [in the evening],” Toni said.

“My parents would get hurt, ‘Why can’t we visit you?’ It’s like that. But eventually, they adjusted.

“You will come to that term where everything will adjust. They have also accepted that this is my new life. This is the, not the rules, but how we run our household.”

For now, everything is okay for Paul and his parents.

“In the five years that Paul and I have been married, the dust has kind of settled. Before it was all over, it seemed like chaos. It was just dust. Now the dust has settled. It seems like everyone knows their positions in our lives,” Toni concluded.
