Isabel Oli opened up about a moment of doubt in her relationship with John Prats, revealing she almost ended things with him due to his delay in proposing. Appearing on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Oli candidly shared how a documentary on relationship timelines influenced her expectations, leading her to question Prats’s commitment after two years of dating without a proposal.
The actress humorously recalled setting a personal deadline for Prats to propose, threatening to embrace singlehood if it didn’t happen by December of that year. Fortunately, Prats surprised her with a proposal two months prior to her deadline, effectively quelling her concerns and paving the way for their future together.
Addressing the topic of women proposing to men, Oli and Prats expressed their preference for traditional roles in their relationship, though they acknowledged that what works varies from couple to couple. They also noted a trend among their friends where women are increasingly vocal about their desire to get married, indicating a shift in how relationships progress towards marriage.
The couple, who wed in May 2015, now share three children: Feather, Freedom, and Forest, and their story offers a glimpse into the universal uncertainties that can arise in relationships, as well as the importance of communication and understanding between partners.
