The lovebirds shared that they started out as good friends years ago when Barbie already had a crush on Diego.
“Pero that time wala kaming something. Friends lang talaga…pero crush ko siya nun… Naging friends na lang kami,” Barbie said.
However, their friendship stalled when Diego walked away from showbiz due to mental health issues. Even if he was not replying anymore, Barbie continued to message Diego asking for updates about his life.
“Then nawala ako for a while… Isa si Barbie sa mga humingi ng update ‘tsaka nag-message… Nakita ko na tunay siyang kaibigan,” Diego shared.

In 2020, Barbie and Diego resumed their friendship and were regularly playing video games with each other online during the pandemic lockdown.
Later on in the year, Barbie asked Diego to go with her to a beach in Pangasinan with their other friends. Their heart-to-heart talk during the trip deepened their feelings and understanding of each other.
“Pinilit ko siya, as a friend. Walang malisya. Hindi ko alam, bigla na lang, parang sobra na yung pake ko para sa kanya,” the actress explained.
After returning to Metro Manila, Barbie and Diego decided to go out of town again but without their friends.
They finally became an official couple during that second out-of-town trip.
“Sabi niya [Diego] lang, ‘Ano, tayo na?’ Sabi ko, ‘Oo,’” Barbie happily recalled.
