Pinoy Ex-Celebrity Couples With Families Who Are Not In Favor Of Their Relationship

It is very common for Filipino parents to be somehow involved in the personal life of their children. Most of the time, they tend to be super protective to them and even want to be the one choosing their child’s partner in life.

Sometimes our parents believe that their knowledge and personal experiences in handling such situations is strong enough to share their wisdom to their children, but they’re only doing this because they want nothing but the best for us.

While we cannot blame them for doing this and as much as possible would want to obey all their orders, there will be times where we will follow our heart and will pursue what we believe is the right thing to do.

As a result, some people end up not in good terms with their parents, while there are also some couples whose relationship eventually ended because of their family’s interference.
