James Reid ready to settle down with Issa Pressman “soon”

As he turns 31 years old, James thinks he’s ready to settle down soon.

Nasa plano na ni James Reid ang lumagay sa tahimik sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakasal sa girlfriend niyang si Issa Pressman.

Noong May 11, 2024, ipinagdiwang ni James ang kanyang 31st birthday, at dito raw niya napagtanto kung anu-ano ang mga pangarap na gusto pa niyang makamit.

Ito ang ibinahagi ni James sa panayam niya sa ABS-CBN entertainment reporter na si MJ Felipe sa On Cue nitong Huwebes, May 30, 2024.

“How does it feel to turn thirty-one?” tanong ni MJ kay James.

Nakangiting sagot ng singer-actor, “Honestly, its not much different from thirty, but thirty I definitely felt it.

“I was, like, ‘Wow, I’m thirty now.’ That was a big difference.”

Ramdam na ramdam na rin daw ni James na hindi na siya bata para hindi magseryoso sa buhay.

Sabi niya, “This is a different stage. I’m done with my twenties.

“I feel it. I definitely feel it. Priorities are changing, you know.”

Sundot na tanong sa kanya ni MJ, “So, what are your priorities now?”

Sagot ni James, “It’s really, you know, really trying to see my music through, trying to see my career through, really just doing things the right way. And maybe settling down soon.”

Ang sagot na ito ni James ay ikinagulat din ni MJ, kung kaya’t inusisa niya kung kailan ang “soon” na sinasabi ng aktor.

Kapansin-pansing maging si James ay nagulat sa kanyang ibinunyag.

Sabi niya, “I don’t know, I should’ve not said that. Never mind.

“But, yeah, I’m excited when it happens.”

JAMES on taking relationship with ISSA to the next level

Masasabi raw ni James na sa lahat ng pinagdaanan niya sa buhay noong kanyang kabataan, ngayon ay emotionally at mentally ready na siyang lumagay sa tahimik at pakasalan si Issa.

Aniya, “I think so [I’m emotionally and mentally ready when that happens].

“I think so, I think I learned a lot from my twenties and hopefully we all do.”

Ang pahayag na ito ni James ay hindi na kataka-taka pa lalo na’t noon pa man ay aminado siyang malaking bagay ang pagdating ni Issa sa kanyang buhay.

Sa ekslusibong panayan ng kay James noong September 2023 ay buong pagmamalaki nitong sinabi na masaya siya sa piling ng girlfriend na si Issa.

Ito’y sa kabila ng kontrobersiyal na breakup nila ng ex-girlfriend niyang si Nadine Lustre noong January 20, 2020.

“There’s no better way to say it. I’m very in love. I’m very happy,” sambit ni James.

Naganap ang interview sa Preview Ball 2023 sa Manila Marriott Hotel, sa Pasay City.

Dagdag ni James, “Yeah, but six months ago, we just really clicked and, you know, we’re very happy.

“It’s been a crazy six months, roller coaster but super happy.”

Para naman kay Issa, ang pagiging supportive nila sa bawat isa ni James ang isa sa magandang parte ng kanilang relasyon.

Saad ng kapatid ni Yassi Pressman, “The best thing, like, the love that we have is we really support each other.

“I have my strengths, he has his, so we just help each other.”

Hindi rin daw sila nahirapang gustuhin at mahalin ang isa’t isa dahil nakikita raw nila ang kanilang mga sarili sa katauhan ng bawat isa, na siya ring dahilan kung bakit nag-click sila.

“Definitely, I think I feel like he’s like the male counterpart of me,” pagmamalaki ni Issa.

Agad naman itong sinang-ayunan ni James.

Saad niya, “I said that in an interview earlier and was, like, ‘Is that weird to say?’

“But, yeah, I feel, like, it’s like she’s the female counterpart of me.”

JAMES-ISSA BREAKUP RUMORS

Hanggang ngayon ay going strong pa rin ang relasyon nina James at Issa, sa kabila ng makailang beses na intriga na sila ay break na.

Noong November 11, 2023, napabalitang may pinagdaraanan ang relasyonng dalawa ng i-unfollow nila ang isa’t isa sa Instagram.

November 12, muli silang nag-unfollow-han.

Sa panayam ng PEP.ph kay James noong November 16, ipinaliwanag niya kung ano ang puno’t dulo ng pag-unfollow nila sa isa’t isa ni Issa na nagdulot ng pangamba sa kanilang fans.

Depensa ni James, dahil sa curiosity kung anong mangyayari kung iba-block ang isang tao sa Instagram ayaw nila na-unfollow ang isa’t isa at nakalimutan na nilang i-follow ulit.

Ani James, “Do you ever have that thing where suddenly you’re unfollowing someone?

“Then, she told me that if someone blocks you and unblocks you, you won’t know. Automatically, you’re unfollowing.

“I tried it. But then, afterwards, we forgot to follow back, so we stayed unfollowed.”
