Sponge Cola vocalist and guitarist Yael Yuzon proposed to wife, It’s Showtime host and singer Karylle Tatlonghari, ahead of their 10th year wedding anniversary on Monday, February 26.

In the recent episode of the noontime show, Yael surprised Karylle by visiting her and congratulating her on the current success of her theater show, Rama Hari.

“Hindi kasi sanay si K na sinursurprise siya. Gusto niya kasi nakaplan yung day,” Yael said as he joined his wife on the It’s Showtime stage.

“Congratulations sa Rama Hari, Tatlonghari. As always again, great work tapos aside from onstage, lagi mo namang pinupush ang Philippine theater at ng art. Ganoon ka talaga, you are a very supportive person. And I am very proud as your loving husband,” the singer said.

Vhong Navarro then asked Yael about the decade-long relationship of the couple before the noontime show hosts moved aside and a pianist appeared from behind.

“Magte-ten years na kami na kasal and alam mo yung thing kasi na being kasal na kayo ng ten years, parang mas maa-analyze mo yung mga things through the ups and downs, mostly ups pero sa mga downs mo, actually, mas maanalyze yung mga things,” Yael expressed.

“Tapos kung sigurado ka back then, mas madaling sigurado now kasi mayroon na tayong 10 years together. Kaso kasi may hindi ako nagawa before, and I’m going to do it now,” he added.

The singer then revealed a yellow box containing a ring as he kneeled in front of the host.

“Will you marry me again?” he asked to which Karylle responded, “Yes!” before adding, “I’m so confused.”

The two then sang Sponge Cola’s song “Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay’, celebrating their second engagement.

“Parang isang panaginip ang muling mapagbigyan,” they sang together.

During the interview part, Yael shared that it was the first time he made such a big gesture in his life.

“First time ko yata gumawa ng anything like this in my life,” he revealed.

“Noong nagpropose ako before kasi nasa kotse naman kami. Doon naman yun kung saan kami nag-first kiss before,” he shared.

He went on: “Kotse ko tapos nandoon kami sa exact spot kung saan kami nagkiss before. So ngayon naman, hindi kasi kami ma-big gesture. Low profile lang tayo low key.”

Yael also expressed his wish for Karylle and showed how proud he is of his wife’s achievements.

“Ang wish ko lang naman kay K is to just keep doing yung mga stage play, specifically. Very specific wish. Kasi kapag nakikita ko talaga na nasa stage siya, kapag theater talaga at kapag live, iba yung pakiramdam. Iba yung nakikita mo talaga kapag nandoon siya tapos yun yung element niya,” he remarked.

He added: “Ang sarap lang na shared experience with the audience na mapanood si K ni stage an ang galing galing.”

For her part, Karylle shared how she felt about how people view their marriage.

“Sobra akong confused kasi siguro marami akong naririnig na magandang bagay about our relationship,” she remarked.

“You know people are praising us, but I don't want to say that we have a perfect marriage. Marriage is hard and a constant commitment,” she added.

The singer and host then shared how they worked on things as a couple despite the challenges they encountered through the years.

“I think maganda yung ginawa niyang kanta yung una naming theme song sa wedding ‘dahil kilala na kita ang nais ko lang makilala ka pa’ kasi hindi naman kami gumawa ng mga written vows kasi hindi naman namin alam kung ano ang mayroon sa future,” Karylle said.

She went on: “But ang alam lang namin na we will keep trying, and we will fail and we will keep trying again and again and again. So, every day we will keep trying and doing. Mahirap po talaga ang marriage.”

Karylle and Yael had been dating for more than three years before tying the knot in 2014 in a ceremony held at the San Antonio ng Padua Church in Silang, Cavite.
