Will Ken Chan's Being An Unwed Father Lessen His Chances Of Capturing Barbie Forteza's Heart?

KEN CHAN as Yuan Lee in “Meant to Be” turns out to be an unwed father of twins named Luke and Leia. What will he do if this would happen to him in real life? “It’s really my dream na magkaanak ng kambal,” he says. “Pero… kapag nagkaasawa na ako. Sa ‘Meant to Be’, hindi ko naman alam na nabuntis ko yung girlfriend kong si Nikki at bigla na lang iniwanan ang babies sa akin. It’s something that I would accept at di ko ikakahiya. Sabi naman ng viewers ng show namin, they can relate to my being a single dad. May nagbo-volunteer pa ngang tumulong sa pag-aalaga sa kambal kasi nakikita nilang hirap kami ng mga kasama kong sina Ivan Dorschner as Ethan, Jak Roberto as Andoy and Addy Raj as Jai in taking care of them.”

So does being a father now lessen his chances to win the heart of Barbie Forteza as Billie? “Hindi naman, sa tingin ko. Kasi pati si Billie, natutuwa sa mga bata, so he won’t give up yung panliligaw niya kay Bille at patutunayan niyang mahal pa rin niya ito kahit may mga anak na siya at handa siyang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig niyang yun.”

In a recent episode of “Meant to Be”, Barbie was shown in a wedding dress and there are four grooms waiting for her at the altar. This caused a lot of stir in social media and the fans are all agog in rooting for their own bet for Billie. How did he feel about this? “Grabe talaga ang kilig na dinulot noon sa fans ng show, but it turned out dream sequence lang pala yun. Siempre, kung akong masusunod, sana nga, kami ni Billie ang magkatuluyan sa ending. Marami nga nagsabing bitin na bitin na raw sila. But then, I think, yung writers ng show, they will choose kung sino yung magiging pinakamaingay na mas gusto ng fans for Billie.”

Meantime, the stars of “Meant to Be” continue to be the most in demand when it comes to doing mall shows. After their hit appearance in Angeles City, they next rocked Legaspi City when they showed up at the Magayon Festival. Thousands of Bicolanos trooped to their show at the Penaranda Park chanting their names excitedly so the “Meant to Be” stars want to thank all their fans there for making them feel so welcome. Then for June, they are supposed to go Singapore to shoot some sequences there so Pinoy fans of “Meant to Be” should better watch out for their visit to the Lion City.
