MANILA, Philippines -- Crooner Richard Poon has admitted that he is currently in a relationship with actress Maricar Reyes.
"Just last July... I think July 1st," Poon said in an interview with KrisTV on Wednesday, adding that he first met Reyes while doing the music video for his song "You and I."
Poon first admitted that he was courting Reyes back in October 2010, saying Reyes is the first celebrity he has pursued.
In his interview on "KrisTV," Poon also said he is even considering marrying Reyes.
"I think kung sasagutin niya ako, I would really consider that seriously," he said.
Poon began courting Reyes even after she was dragged in a sex video scandal with controversial Dr. Hayden Kho in 2009.
The singer also promised to always protect Reyes. "I'm a man myself. I have my own shortcomings and all, but I will try my best, everything that I can [do for her]," he said.
