While the onscreen romance did not materialize in real life, Romnick Sarmenta eventually found true love in the form of Harlene Bautista. The two celebrity love birds tied the knot in 1999, after which they both chose to leave the limelight to focus on starting a family.
Romnick shared in an interview with ABS-CBN PUSH:
“Kami kasi ni Harlene, ayaw kasi namin ‘yung feeling na pagka-may kailangan ‘yung anak mo or may sakit or may masakit sa anak mo, tumatakbo sa yaya. Gusto namin sa amin tumatakbo eh so nagdecide kami.”
As parents of five lovely children – Abijah, Seki, Bo, Merel, and Yuwela – Romnick and Harlene make sure to make time for their kids so they can make wonderful memories together.
Romnick stated:
“Sabi namin konting panahon lang kasi ang mga bata. I mean lahat ng magulang siguro maiisip ‘to. Up to a certain time, lalayo at lalayo sila sa’yo. Magtatayo sila ng sarili nilang pamilya. And they only have a number of years para maenjoy mo ‘yung company nila and hopefully, mabuild mo ‘yung character nila.”
Today, the celebrity couple are now successful entrepreneurs, owning and managing a restaurant in Quezon City called “Salu.” Although they are busy fulfilling their responsibilities as business owners, they still ensure that they don’t fall short in fulfilling their responsibilities as parents first and foremost.
Romnick said:
“We can always have time for our own plans pero ‘yung mga bata na ipinagkatiwala sa’tin ng mga Diyos, kailangan nandoon tayo while they’re growing up.”
