Isabel Oli to wear Vera Wang wedding gown

MANILA - Four months before they tie the knot, John Prats said he has already given his fiancee Isabel Oli a wedding present -- her wedding gown.

According to the 30-year-old actor, he had Oli fit a gown at a Vera Wang botique during their recent vacation in Los Angeles, California.



 "Nagsukat na siya ng wedding gown niya, doon siya nagpa-fitting sa Vera Wang," Prats was quoted as saying by entertainment news site PEP. "Iyon ang wedding gift ko sa kanya."

Prats and Oli will hold their May wedding at a farm owned by the actor's family in Batangas. "Super excited na ako, that's why, now, nagpe-prepare na kami for the big day," he said.

Referring to preparations for the ceremony, Prats added: "Ayun, medyo ngarag, kasi malapit na, four months na lang. Meeting-meeting pa lang kami kung sino ang florist namin, ano ang magiging hitsura ng wedding namin."

The former child star said he and Oli, who is three years his senior, have yet to finalize their wedding entourage. He did share, however, that TV host Boy Abunda will be a principal sponsor.

Asked if they have already planned as far ahead as their honeymoon, Prats answered: "Actually, pati siya excited about it. I'm really excited about it. Pero siguro, ang focus namin ngayon ay dun sa wedding.

"We will think after that kung saan kami magha-honeymoon. Madami… Maldives, Europe, New York siguro. Marami kaming gusto, but we have to think kung ano talaga ang gusto namin."

John Prats not behind 'Olivia proposal' billboards

MANILA – Camille Prats is getting stressed out over speculations that her brother, John Prats, is behind all the billboards along the stretch of EDSA asking a certain Olivia to marry him.

Many fans believe that the billboards with the message “Olivia, will you marry me?” are meant for Prats' girlfriend, actress Isabel Oli, whose real name is Maria Olivia Daytia.

While Camille is hoping that John and Oli would eventually get married, she urged the public not to preempt anything.

“Sobrang stressed sila, pati ako nase-stress kasi people are messaging me, people are calling them and asking kung si John ba 'yung nagpropose kay Liv. But it’s not us,” she said.

“Parang feeling ko nape-pressure sila na ‘Parang ano ba 'yan? Hindi naman talaga kami and people assume that it’s us.’ So parang nase-stress sila, napi-preempt,” she added.

Camille nonetheless believes her brother has plans of settling down.

“I think they are talking about it. I don’t want to preempt also kasi baka parang ako din si ‘Olivia will you marry me.’ But I think John has plans. We don’t know any of it yet but I think they have plans,” she said.

In a previous interview, Camille said their family approves of Oli because the actress has a very good heart.

"Alam niya 'yan. Naka-focus kami sa kanya ngayon, priority namin siya. Sabi naman namin sa kanila, okay naman kami kung gusto na nila," Camille said.

John and Oli have been a couple for over a year now.

John Prats, Isabel Oli discuss 'wedding'

MANILA -- Celebrity couple John Prats and Isabel Oli on Tuesday opened up about speculations that they are getting ready to exchange "I dos" within the year.

Talks about a wedding between the two were fanned by Prats himself, after he posted a picture on Instagram of him kissing Oli’s forehead as he greeted the actress and her family a happy New Year.

In the caption, Prats also shared his wish: "Next year magkasama na tayo pag pasko at bagong taon ah.”

To which Oli replied: “God bless you my love!!! Blessed new year to u Hubb.”

In an interview with ABS-CBNNews.com on Tuesday during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Divine Angels Montessori school in Cainta Rizal, which is owned by Prats' family, the "Banana Split" actor said he is happy with the positive comments elicited by the romantic photo.

"Alam niyo nakakatuwa sa IG kasi hindi lang kami magkasama last Christmas, so sabi ko 'let's spend Christmas this year together.' Tapos parang lahat kasal na ata. Well for me it's a good vibe at OK naman 'yon, positive lahat, masaya," explained Prats, who earlier admitted that he is ready to marry Oli.

But the couple denied that they are already engaged.

"Hinihintay ko pa nga 'yung proposal niya," Prats joked Oli.

Turning serious, he said: "Malalaman niyo naman 'yan sa takdang panahon. Ako when they asked me, natural bakit ko naman sasabihin 'yan? Nauna pa ibang tao kaysa kay Liv (Isabel). Kumbaga gusto ko lang maging espesyal 'yung araw na 'yon kung darating 'yon. Kung kailan, hindi niya pwedeng malaman. I want it to be special and I'm sure malalaman ng tao 'yon."

For her part, Oli said she's ready to settle down with Prats.

"Ako, whenever I enter a relationship, gusto ko ay ganoon na. Serious talaga ako sa relationships so sana, sana talaga," said Oli, who also admitted that they have talked about getting married.

"May mga kwentuhan, may mga plano, pero walang date," she said.

Asked to share her dream proposal, Oli replied: "Basta ako sa lahat ng bagay, basta simple -- kahit saan."

Prats and Oli will mark their first anniversary as a couple later this month.

"Basta sobrang enjoy ako. Wala na akong hihilingin pa. Nakita niyo naman ang aga-aga, nandiyan siya para sa amin," Prats said.

John Prats, Isabel Oli to marry soon?

MANILA -- Are wedding bells in the offing for celebrity couple John Prats and Isabel Oli?

In an interview on Tuesday for his upcoming show "I Dare You," Prats announced that Oli is ready to walk down the aisle.

"I know she's ready anytime. Siguro that's what I like about her. Hindi siya kagaya ng ibang artista ngayon na focused sa career. Maganda sa kanya kasi nakikita niya ang sarili niya to be a housewife," Prats said.

But asked if he is also ready to be a husband, Prats said: "Secret. Baka ma-preempt 'yung proposal ko. I really want it to be special for her.

"'Yung engagement bawal pagusapan at sorpresa sa kanya 'yon pero getting married, yes (napag-uusapan). That's why I know she's ready anytime," he explained, adding that this will happen soon.

"Not really long, not really long," Prats said when pressed for a date.

Prats credited Oli for a lot of changes in his life.

"Parang mas kontente ako ngayon, wala na akong ibang hinahanap, wala akong reklamo at mas focused ako sa work ngayon kasi alam ko nandiyan siya to support me. Never kong na-experience na hina-harass niya ako for time. Alam niya kasi na siguro ako 'yung lalaki eventually I will be the one who will will be there financially for my family, that's why sobrang support niya sa akin," he said.

Prats said he also taught Oli to be more positive.

"Si Isabel kasi mabilis mag-worry, small things. Siguro 'yung natulong ko sa kanya, na lagi positive lang. Lahat talaga may pagsubok pero after that lahat malalagpasan mo. Kaya naging positive siyang tao because of that. Palagi na siyang palangiti, before kasi palagi siyang serious. Ngayon nalabas 'yung kengkoy side niya," he said.

Currently, Prats is busy promoting the second season of ABS-CBN's "I Dare You" which will premiere this Saturday, October 12, after "Maalaala Mo Kaya."

“Wala, wala e… dyusko, Lord! Mas okay pa ang single."

Ito ang sagot ni Isabel Oli nang kumustahin ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang kanyang lovelife sa presscon ng GMA-7 afternoon soap na Faithfully noong Lunes, June 11.

Sabi ng aktres, walang nanliligaw sa kanya ngayon.

“Wala din, wala, wala talaga."

JAMES YAP. Paano niya na-handle at finally ay natapos ang isyu sa kanila ni James Yap? There was a time na na-link sila ng dating mister ni Kris Aquino.

“Wala, deadma lang. ‘Pag may sinasabi sila, ‘Bahala kayo.’ ‘Pag may party, ‘Let’s go to the party!’"

Hindi pa rin alam ni Isabel kung bakit sila na-link ng basketbolista.

“Friends kami, oo friends talaga."

MARCO ALCARAZ. Magkaibigan din daw sila ng ex-boyfriend niyang si Marco Alcaraz, na ikakasal na kay Precious Lara Quigaman sa July.

“Oo nga, e. I’m so happy for him," sabi ni Isabel tungkol sa dating kasintahan.

A-attend ba si Isabel sa wedding?

“Hindi ko alam, hindi... wala naman akong invitation, e!" tawa niya.

Dati pa raw niyang alam na ikakasal na ang dalawa.

“Alam ko yun, e. Kasi, kailan ba yun, party ng anak ni Valerie [Concepcion], 'tapos nag-usap kami kaya alam ko."

Nandun si Lara sa party?

“Nandun, nandun din siya."

Dati na raw silang magkakilala ni Lara.

Kahit nung nagkaroon ng relasyon sina Marco at Lara ay nakikita raw niya ang mga ito.

“Oo, ilang beses na kaming nagkikita sa mga events."

Kaya with all sincerity ay masasabi ni Isabel na masaya siya para sa dalawa.

“Sobra, sobrang happy, as in sobra kasi sobrang good friends kami ni Marco."

Ano ang wish ni Isabel para sa dalawa?

“Ay naku, ayan, di ba, finally! Sana, sana si God yung center sa relationship nila lagi.

“And kung may konting tampuhan or whatever, maaayos yun sa usapan lang."

WHAT ABOUT ISABEL? Hindi ba siya naiinggit?

“Hindi! Oh, my God, hindi talaga."

Wala pa ba sa isip niya ang mag-asawa?

“No! Ayoko."

Ni wala nga raw siyang suitors.

“Hindi rin siguro ako nag-e-entertain kaya siguro ganun."

Gaano katagal na siyang walang boyfriend?

“Seven months."

Her last relationship was with Gab Valenciano.

Magkaibigan ba sila ni Gab?

“We’re not enemies, pero hindi rin kami friends.

“Walang communication, pero hindi rin kami enemies."

Faithful ba si Isabel?

“Sobra akong faithful. Sa relationship, sa boyfriend, never akong nagloko."

So, ang mga guys ba ang nagiging unfaithful sa kanya kaya nagwakas ang mga relationships niya in the past?

“Hindi ko sinabi!

“Hindi lang siguro nag-work out… pero ewan ko sa kanila!" natatawang sagot ni Isabel. -- Rommel Gonzales, PEP

Isabel on breakup with Gab: 'Ang hirap talaga, sobra'

MANILA, Philippines – Actress-model Isabel Oli is still “hurting” over his breakup with dancer and “ASAP Rocks” mainstay Gab Valenciano.

“Mahirap. Ang hirap talaga, sobra. Hanggang ngayon, mahirap pa rin,” she was quoted as saying by PEP in an interview posted on Jan. 26.

Why the two ended their four-month old relationship just before Christmas is still unknown. However, Isabel said that they were happy during the time they were together. She also denied the involvement of a third party.

Isabel copes by turning to her parents and God.

“Kinukuwento ko sa kanya ang mga nangyayari. Siyempre, na-share ko ang mga problema ko,” she related, referring to her father who remains in a coma for about five months now.

“My mom is there, supportive naman siya. Pero iba talaga 'yung both na nandiyan,” she said.

With this, Isabel said that she wouldn’t be entertaining any suitors in the meantime.

“Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, ito muna ang time na ako muna. Ngayon kasi, hindi pa talaga ako okay—kaya ako muna. Ang family ko muna, lalo na my dad,” she said.

Meanwhile, Isabel refused to comment on rumors romantically linking her ex to young actress Coleen Garcia. According to PEP, the two were spotted last Jan. 25 watching a basketball game at the Araneta Coliseum with Cesca Litton and Eric Tai. Gab and Coleen allegedly went to Resorts World Manila afterward, purportedly being “sweet” to one another. Photos of their get-together at Araneta can be seen on Gab’s Twitter account.

Interestingly, Gab tweeted on Friday noon, “Nanuod lang ng PBA, kayo na agad? Gumimik lang, may relasyon na!? #eksaheradaaaa”

His latest tweet, posted an hour after, read, “I believe it's about time I stand up and speak out. Tired of being accused and bashed for sins that don't exist. Be ready.”
