“We’re very similar in the way we think about what we want to change. I always say that I don’t think that love is looking each other in the eye; it’s looking in the same direction,” Bariou said.
“We’re looking in the same direction and she’s the perfect partner in crime. We’re aligned in pretty much everything so it feels so good and natural to go through life,” he continued.
Lustre added, “Mahirap lumaban with the person who doesn’t have the same vision as you.”
Davila praised the couple for being “aligned” with each other, which Lustre affirmed.

The actress, for her part, said, “But I would say that’s something that we’re not aligned with. Because siya kasi, he wants kids. Ako, right now, I don’t know if I want kids. So we’re very different in that.”
“Siguro kung may challenge kaming dalawa [sa relationship], ‘yun ‘yung challenge namin,” she stated, chuckling.
Bariou understands his girlfriend’s stance, pointing out the significant changes her life and body would undergo should she bear a child. He nonetheless noted that he’s open to the idea of adoption in the future.
He also disclosed that he had his semen frozen in France because of his past cancer diagnosis, preserving the option of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Lustre and Bariou’s relationship was first made public in 2022, a year after they met in Siargao where he is based. /ra
