<p>Real-life couple Lovely Abella and Benj Manalo star as reel partners for the first time in <em>My Love Will Make You Disappear.</em></p><p>Lovely shared in an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN what it&#x27;s like to act alongside her partner in a film.</p><p>&quot;Actually, masaya pala talaga kasi mas nagtutulungan.

Pero at the same time, yung professionalism mas siguro tumataas. Kasi siyempre parang alam mong nandyan yung asawa mo. Gusto mo magpasikat sa asawa mo. Yung asawa mo gusto magpasikat sa&#x27;yo. Pero, andon pa rin sa parang kung ano yung kailangan ng director. So, it&#x27;s very, ano, &#x27;perfect&#x27; (that’s the) word. It&#x27;s very surreal para sa aming dalawa na magawa namin ito together,&quot; Benj explained.</p><p>The dancer-turned-host-turned-actress also noted that when it comes to acting, they make sure to establish what needs to be done and set clear goals.</p><p>&quot;Kasi talagang kapag ka kunyari bago kami pumunta ng set, talagang inaano namin yung sarili namin, sini-set namin na iba yung gagawin namin. Yung mood na need namin talaga,&quot; she explained.</p><p>Lovely and Ben got married in 2021. The couple welcomed their first child, Liam, in 2023.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-kmU73TL9g/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%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A234699.10000002384%2C%22ls%22%3A233974.80000007153%2C%22le%22%3A234312.10000002384%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="803" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Meanwhile, the couple shared that <em>My Love Will Make You Disappear</em> is not your ordinary romantic comedy.</p><p>&quot;Marami po silang dapat abangan.
