Filipina beauty queen and singer Dia Mate shared how her boyfriend, singer Juan Karlos, has been a key figure in both her personal and professional life.
During her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Dia expressed heartfelt gratitude for JK’s unwavering support. “I’m really happy, Tito Boy. He’s not just my boyfriend—he’s my best friend and one of my biggest cheerleaders,” she said.
More than just emotional encouragement, JK actively guides Dia in her music career. “He helps me a lot with my music. I ask for his advice all the time,” Dia revealed, explaining that she often turns to him for feedback on her lyrics and ideas.
The “Ere” hitmaker provides constructive insights that offer a fresh perspective. “He sees things differently than I do, and that helps a lot,” she added.
Dia has released several tracks, most recently “Ina,” a collaboration with Regine Velasquez. The couple made their relationship public in February 2024. JK has also been supportive of Dia’s pageant journey, including her win as Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas and her subsequent international victory.
