Joem Bascon Is Paolo Ballesteros' Lover In 'My 2 Mommies' But In Real Life, Has Been Living In With Vlogger Girlfriend For Five Years Now

JOEM BASCON plays Paolo Ballesteros’ lover in “My 2 Mommies” that starts showing in theaters on Wednesday. So how is it working with Paolo? “Okay naman kasi dati na kaming friends,” he says. “Although lovers kami rito, pang general patronage ang movie kaya walang pinapakitang gay love scenes, unlike sa ginawa ko noong ‘Lihis’ with Jake Cuenca na lovers din kami at marami bedscenes. E, ito, wholesome, kasi kailangang hindi magsuspetsa yung anak nila ni Solenn Heussaff na may relasyon kami. Very light ang movie, more on comedy, with Inay Maricel Soriano there, talagang matatawa kayo dahil napakahusay niyan actress. May scene siya diyan na magugulat kayo at tiyak na di kayo makakapagpigil sa paghagalpak ng tawa.”

It’s his first time to work with their director, Eric Quizon, and he says they had a happy set. “Hindi lang po siya mabilis mag-shoot kundi napakagaan din niyang katrabaho. Very cool lang at hindi yung tipong nagagalit at naninigaw. Sa bagay, lahat ng kasama namin sa movie na ito, maganda talaga katrabaho kaya enjoy kaming lahat sa shooting.”

Off cam, Joem admits he’s been living in for five years now with his model girlfriend and vlogger Crisha Uy. “Actually, two years pa kaming mag-on bago kami nag-liv in so bale seven years na kami.”

No plans of settling down for good? “Wala namang pumipigil sa amin, binigyan ko na nga siya ng promise ring and we’ve met each other families, but we feel that we still have to wait muna. Bago pa lang siyang nakikilala sa Youtube, so no need to rush. Chill lang muna.”

On TV, Joem just appeared in “The Good Son”. Aside from “My 2 Mommies”, he has finished another movie, “Impossible Dream”, the filmbio of a public official.
