Sofia Andres has shared her thoughts on marriage with her longtime non-showbiz boyfriend, Daniel Miranda, emphasizing that the timing is not yet right for them to tie the knot. Despite being together for almost a decade and having a child, Andres believes that marriage does not necessarily guarantee the longevity of a relationship.
Waiting for the Right Time
In an emotional interview with Karen Davila, the actress-model opened up about her reasons for not rushing into marriage. “Siguro, it’s not the time yet. In God’s time,” she said. “Kasi married o hindi, you’ll never know kung kayo ba talaga. Kasi may married na naghihiwalay pa rin. Meron namang hindi married na nagtatagal naman.” (Perhaps, it’s not the time yet. In God’s time. Whether married or not, you’ll never know if you’re really meant to be. Some married couples still separate, while some who are not married last long.)
Both Andres and Miranda come from broken families, which has influenced their cautious approach towards marriage. “I was telling my partner, Daniel, kasi he’s not complete also, his family. So if we’re not ready, we don’t have to rush it,” she expressed.
Mutual Respect and Support
Despite not being married, Andres and Miranda maintain a strong, supportive relationship. The actress highlighted how fortunate she feels to have a partner who respects her and shares her values. “I’m just very lucky na supportive ‘yung partner ko at tsaka hindi siya nasho-showbiz, kaya wala po akong reklamo. He’s very loving; he’s very supportive, sa anak [namin]. Kaya daddy’s girl po ‘yung anak namin,” explained Andres. (I’m just very lucky that my partner is supportive and he’s not into showbiz, so I have no complaints. He’s very loving and supportive, especially with our child, which is why our daughter is a daddy’s girl.)
Addressing Rumors
Last month, Sofia Andres addressed rumors about her relationship with Daniel Miranda’s family. Speculation arose after Andres missed the wedding of Miranda’s brother, Enrique, to Ella Pangilinan. Taking to her Instagram Story, Andres clarified the situation and debunked the rumors. “Lagi niyo na lang akong pinag-uusapan. This will be my first and last post about this. I love Daniel’s family, and [vice] versa. ‘Wag naman sana kayo gumawa ng kwento. Hindi lahat ng chismis totoo even on TikTok [and] Reddit,” she lamented. (You always talk about me. This will be my first and last post about this. I love Daniel’s family, and vice versa. Please don’t make up stories. Not all gossip is true, even on TikTok and Reddit.)
Pangilinan later explained that Andres was unable to attend the wedding due to a prior commitment, putting to rest any notions of family disapproval.
Family Life
Sofia Andres and Daniel Miranda welcomed their daughter, Zoe, in 2019. The couple has been navigating parenthood together, and their relationship continues to grow stronger despite the pressures and challenges they face.
Conclusion
Sofia Andres and Daniel Miranda’s decision to wait before getting married highlights their thoughtful approach to their relationship. By prioritizing their emotional readiness and mutual support, they aim to build a stable foundation for their family. As they continue their journey together, their story serves as a reminder that the timing of marriage should be personal and considerate of both partners’ circumstances and backgrounds.
