Now both in their late 40s, “Ex Ex Lovers” stars Jolina Magdangal and Marvin Agustin, for sure, have gleaned a tremendous amount of learnings in life and love through the years. Perhaps a chunk of those realizations they gained during their loveteam era between the late 90s and the early 2000s, when they were among the popular pairs whose formidable chemistry every time they were together on- and off-screen never failed to make their shippers kilig.However, as much as their ardent supporters wanted them to also end up with one another in real life, the universe apparently had other plans for Marvin and Jolina. Real-life romance might not be for them, but their experiences have surely taught them a lot about love as they grow old. And they’re able to share a bit of what they’ve learned about love in a recent exclusive interview, wherein they were asked how their definition of love has changed over time and what was their biggest misconception about love.For Jolina, the true essence of love has indeed changed over time. She related, “Mayroong kakaibang ibig sabihin ang love, hindi lang sa pagbibigay ng pagmamahal. Minsan, sa pag-care mo do’n sa tao or kapag may ginagawa kang sacrifice para sa isang tao. Para sa akin, definition din ‘yon ng sobra-sobrang pagmamahal.”Her “labtim,” Marvin, seconded it by saying that the most meaningful type of love for him is that he’s the one who gives or radiates it, since he believes that it’s the actions that would determine how much one can or is willing to give the person he/she loves.Furthermore, when it comes to their biggest misconception about love, Jolina said that it’s the notion that there is a right time for the right love. According to her, she used to wait for the so-called “right timing” for her to show how much someone means to her, only to realize that she can actually pour whatever amount of love she has at the very moment that she feels it.Marvin, on the other hand, divulged that he actually used to believe that it’s better to be loved than to love. However, as time went by, he realized that it’s actually the other way around.“Akala kasi natin dati, ang sarap maramdaman na ginagawa sa atin. Mas masarap pala kapag tayo ‘yong nagbibigay ng pagmamahal sa iba. ‘Yong papunta sa’yo, mararamdaman mo ‘yon kapag binigay mo ‘yong totoong klaseng pagmamahal sa ibang tao,” he remarked.Do you agree with MarJo, Kapamilya?<div> </div><div>*Photo credit to Marvin Agustin IG</div>
