Richard Gomez and his only child Juliana Gomez enjoy a super close relationship, with Juliana making frequent appearances in his Instagram feed and on his YouTube cooking channel, "Goma at Home."
Speaking to Ogie Diaz, Richard recently opened up about his humble beginnings working as a fast food crew to his life of public service. The actor-turned-politician also got to talk about giving advice to Juliana when it comes to dating.
Uploaded on the talent manager's YouTube channel on September 15, Richard said, "Tinanggap ko na talaga yung fact na darating yung panahon magkaka-edad si Juliana. Kahit babae 'to, magkakaroon ng boyfriend 'yan eh. Maganda yung bata, liligawan 'yan."
The actor shared that he'd always give Juliana advice and he would tell her to choose wisely when it comes to guys. He said, "Sinasabi ko lang sa kanya, 'Sa itsura mong 'yan, talagang maraming aaligid-aligid sa paligid mo. Bantayan mo lang, pili ka lang ng mabuti. Kasi kung lalaki lang, napakaraming lalaki diyan.'"
Ogie then asked, "Hindi ka ba naprapraning kasi nuong araw, playboy ka?" To which Richard responded, "Sabi ko sa kanya, 'Juliana, napagdaanan ko yung mga 'yan. Alam ko yung mga babaeng madaling bolahin, nakikita mo yung mga babae na sineseryoso. Parang ako, binobola lang ako dati,' sabi kong gan'on."
The actor added, "Pero sabi ko sa kanya, 'wag mo masyadong seryosohin. Basta relax ka lang. Enjoy it dahil ako, nag-enjoy din ako noong bata kasi ako, eh."
Richard also instilled in Juliana that the ideal husband is the more mature version of himself. He said, "Kung pipili ka ng boyfriend, huwag kang pumili ng boyfriend na katulad ni Richard Gomez. Kasi nuong bata 'yun, babaero 'yun, eh, malapit 'yan sa babae, ma-chicks 'yun. Pero kung mag-aasawa ka na, pumili ka ng lalaki na katulad naman ni Richard Gomez. Nag-iba siya, matino na, mas mabait na."
