<p>Eugene Domingo shared her realizations about love as she is set to celebrate her 10th wedding anniversary with her Italian husband, Danilo Bottoni.</p><p>&quot;What I know about love for sure is that it never ends in romance, everyday is a work that is voluntary because your faith and your love means I am committed to this until the day I die.  That is what love between husband and wife is,&quot; she remarked in an interview with Boy Abunda. </p><p>Eugene added that her love for Danilo is forever. &quot;I loved him from the day I realized I love him and I have to love him until I die,&quot; she said.</p><p>On what she admires most about her husband, she shared: &quot;Danilo is a man of strong faith and his patience is immeasurable. You cannot imagine being married to an actress. It&#x27;s a disaster, everyday is a drama. A small instance that you will give an actress a chance to be a dramatic queen she will use it to some extent, hanngang manalo siya sa argument. My husband is so patient.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkFIhPP6hy/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A252454.20000000298%2C%22ls%22%3A89490.60000000894%2C%22le%22%3A89497%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>In an interview with Karen Davila back in 2023, Eugene shared that she first met Danilo at the Udine Far East Film Festival in Italy in 2014.</p><p>Eugene&#x27;s film <em>Barber&#x27;s Tales</em> was an entry in the festival at that time. Danilo, on the other hand, was a film critic.</p><p>The actress, who was already forty at the time, admitted that she felt that it was already impossible to find a partner, so she was already set on entering a convent. But meeting Danilo changed everything.</p><p>&quot;Finding him is really a miracle and the miracle is from God,&quot; Eugene remarked.</p><p>In the same interview, Danilo described their love story as a gradual process that began in Italy and evolved into long-distance dating on Skype.</p><p>&quot;It was a slow process because we started talking every week on Skype for two to three hours I think and then we met again in Italy just the two of us in a very nice place in the place where my mother lives,&quot; Danilo said.</p><p>Danilo also proposed to Eugene via Skype. They got married in 2016.</p>
