Joseph Marco once courted Gonzaga.

Marco was even Gonzaga’s date when they attended the 8th Star Magic Ball in 2014. At that time, Joseph Marco said he initially felt shy around Gonzaga for some reason, but he eventually became close to the actress after spending more time with her.

However, in November 2015, Joseph Marco revealed that he already stopped pursuing Gonzaga because both of them weren’t ready for a relationship yet at that time.

Despite this, the actor and Gonzaga have remained good friends, with Joseph Marco saying they still communicate with each other whenever they are not busy.
