REEL-AND-REAL-LIFE COUPLE. Joross Gamboa and Roxanne Guinoo, both finalists in ABS-CBN's 2004 Star Circle Quest, were paired with each other immediately following the finals. Indeed, Joross was interested in Roxanne.

But his initial attempts to make their partnership go beyond the screen did not succeed because Roxanne, who belongs to a conservative family, thought she was too young. Also, they were not sure that the playful Joross could be serious. These days, however, the two look like they are serious. Asked to confirm our suspicion, Joross's manager Jun Reyes says simply: "One year na yata sila."
