In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Pascual emphasized his focus on their work together rather than personal matters, stating, “Let’s cross the bridge. But I don’t wanna get ahead of myself.

He further clarified his stance on publicizing personal developments, indicating that any significant developments in their relationship would naturally become apparent, “Oo. Sa tanda nating ‘to. What you see is what you get. I’m not trying to hide anything or do something. If it’s there, if it’s happening, people are gonna see it. If there’s anything, people are gonna know, anyway.”
When questioned about his plans for settling down, Pascual reiterated his dedication to his career, expressing a passion for storytelling and the evolving landscape of entertainment, “Masarap ‘yung tinatahak nating path ngayon. We’re forging this path for the next generation. Maganda ‘yung demand ngayon for content.
