The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
by Boy Villasanta
Heartthrob Joseph Marco had intimated in an interview that he has a crush on Rhen Escano, his leading lady in Viva One’s “My Husband is a Mafia Boss.”
People in the industry have been saying that there’s nothing wrong with admiring someone as long as respect and care are given to the object of affection.
It’s the same people, though, that are wondering why Joseph, in spite of his admiration to Rhen, has not lifted a finger or dared court Rhen.
Nothing of that sort yet.
Is it because Marco is already holding a candle to someone not from show business?
According to a reliable source, the actor is in a relationship with a certain Dasha Romanova, a Russian model and influencer.
Showbiz observers notice, though, that two people in love can still part ways if they are really not meant for each other.
They take to mind the romance between Dingdong Dantes and Karylle which despite a seamless bond was still broken when the latter got to star opposite Marian Rivera in a TV series where love blossomed that they couldn’t afford to waste.
What remains to be seen is the latest escapade of Joseph and Rhen teasing and cavorting each other during their promotional stint at a mall show in Robinsons Galleria South in San Pedro, Laguna.
The way Joseph and Rhen performed at the show was nothing short of a perfect delineation of two professionals revealing their passion for work as characters in the series—as husband and wife.
Therefore, how would a couple portray their lives in public except for a romantic display of affection.
In real life, though, are Marco and Escano really in love?
