Sue Ramirez has never been shy about her desire to become a mother someday. Now, she says she has found the person with whom she wants to build that life.At a Star Magic Spotlight press conference held to promote her upcoming Regal Films project Project Baby with Rico Blanco, Sue opened up about family, her relationship with Dominic Roque, and why the idea of motherhood has always felt close to her heart.It all goes back to how she was raised. Sue said she grew up in a home she is deeply proud of, shaped by a mother she describes as one of the strongest people she knows.&quot;If I&#x27;m most proud of anything, it&#x27;s the home that I grew up in. It was the family that I belonged to,&quot; she said. &quot;I was raised by a very, very strong woman. So I really try na &#x27;yung mga values na natutunan ko sa nanay ko, i-apply talaga sa buhay ko. Kasi &#x27;yung nanay ko, in some weird way, lahat ng sinasabi niya sa akin, nagkakatotoo. Parang mother knows best talaga,” she added. That relationship with her mother planted a seed early on. &quot;So ayun nga, sinabi ko nga, if I were to become a mother one day, I would want to be a mother like my mom,&quot; she shared. &quot;Pangarap ko talaga bata palang ako, maging nanay,” she added. Sue said those instincts show up in the small, everyday things, including the way she cares for her pets and the way she looks after the people around her. &quot;Parang, I always had pets growing up. I really love taking care of people, feeding people. Family-oriented talaga. So family is of utmost importance,&quot; she said.And then Dom came into the picture. Sue said that meeting Dominic Roque shifted something in her. &quot;The partner that you&#x27;re with is a very, very big factor. Siguro, when I met Dom – that&#x27;s when it all changed. Na parang &#x27;Okay din ah,&#x27;&quot; she said.She was open about who she could see herself having a child with.&quot;You can really see that he&#x27;s good with children. Kung ibibigay talaga, I would be honored to have a baby with him. Because I know he would be a very good father. And I know na if we change our minds in the future, we can still make sure that the child will grow up filled with love,&quot; she said.Still, Sue was careful not to get ahead of herself. &quot;Of course, we&#x27;re not saying or confirming naman anything because we really don&#x27;t know. At this point, it&#x27;s really early. But I pray for it. I really love Dom,&quot; she said.Beyond the idea of starting a family, Sue also spoke about what Dominic means to her as a partner – and how being with him has made her want to be a better person. &quot;And I think he&#x27;s such a great and amazing person. And lagi kong tina-try habulin &#x27;yung pagiging mabuting tao niya. &#x27;Yun &#x27;yung magandang motivation when you come into a relationship – parang ang gandang motivation nu&#x27;n na gusto mong maging mas mabuting tao dahil sobrang buti ng partner mo,&quot; she said.Dominic confirmed his relationship with Sue in December 2024.Meanwhile, Sue Ramirez&#x27;s upcoming film Project Baby, alongside Rico Blanco, opens in cinemas on June 10.<div>—By Paolo Lim</div>
