Ryan Eigenmann all set to marry Cathy Bordalba

RYAN EIGENMANN is all set to tie the knot with model and pre-school teacher girlfriend Cathy Bordalba on Monday, February 28, at the Coconut Palace. Cathy is three months preggy. "Actually, kasal na lang ang kulang sa amin kasi we've been living together for three years and it's about time we make it right in the eyes of the Lord," he says. "This is also a big reunion for my family as my dad (Michael de Mesa) and brother (AJ Eigenmann) will be coming home from the States with my grandparents (Eddie Mesa and Rosemarie Gil)."

His mom Gina Alajar is happy for him. "I asked him if he feels Cathy is really the one for him and he said yes. Okay naman si Cathy, sinamahan ko pa sila sa pagkuha ng marriage license nila. I prayed then na wala sanang magmana sa mga anak ko sa'min ng dad nila who became parents while we're still teenagers. Buti naman at natupad ang prayer ko as walang maagang nag-asawa o nagkaanak sa kanila."

Ryan plays Andreas, a half-man, half-goat villain in "Panday Kids". "I enjoy working with Buboy Villar, Julian Trono and Sabrina Man who play the Panday Kids. This is like preparation for me when I deal with my own kid later. Kailangang masanay na ako sa mga bata. We don't know yet what our child would be but I have a gut feel na he'll be a boy. Okay rin kung girl, basta healthy."

With his dad coming home for his wedding, the issue about him and Krista Ranillo might be revived. "For our part, hindi na namin palalakihin yan. My mom has said her piece about it at okay na yun. Let them live their lives and let us live our own lives. So we're hoping the media will leave us in peace na lang at huwag sanang during the wedding, yung magko-cover will make kulit pa my dad about Krista. I-respect naman sana nila yung wedding ko."
