“Ako 'yung focus niya sa akin. Kasi since 'yung mga anak namin nasa Canada na, doon na sila nagtapos ng pag-aaral, nandoon na sila ngayon, talagang focus siya sa akin,” Gelli shared.

With their children now living away from home, Gelli said she has become the center of Ariel's attention. For the actress, having her husband remain attentive to her needs has made their relationship even more special.

Gelli also highlighted Ariel's ability to remember the little things she likes. She said his thoughtful gestures are often simple but meaningful because they show that he pays attention even when she does not expect him to.

“Laging nagche-check; 'yung mga little things na alam niyang gusto ko biglang nand'yan. Uuwian ka niya ng chocolate kasi alam niya na favorite ko 'yun. Nakakakilig 'yung feeling mo hindi naman niya napapansin, pero actually napapansin niya,” she said.

For Gelli, these small acts carry more weight than grand romantic gestures. She explained that Ariel knows her preferences well enough to surprise her with favorite food, treats, or other things she enjoys.

When asked about their love language, Gelli said their relationship involves different forms of affection, although service and attention stand out the most.

“Feeling ko lahat; service, attention. Not so much gifts, hindi kami magano'n, pero 'yung mga food, kung anong alam niyang gusto ko. Minsan, siya 'yung mas nagreregalo kung anong type ko,” Gelli continued.

Rather than focusing on expensive presents, the couple appears to express their affection through everyday gestures and thoughtful acts. For Gelli, Ariel's attentiveness is what makes those ordinary moments feel romantic.

Her story also showed how their relationship continues to evolve as their children grow older and begin lives of their own. With more time for each other, Gelli appears to appreciate even more the quiet ways Ariel shows that he knows and values her.

In another report, Gelli de Belen opened up about her views on marriage, family, and maintaining a long-term relationship.

She highlighted the importance of companionship, friendship, respect, and maintaining a strong connection between partners.
