"One day, nag-church kami ng mom ko...nung pauwi kami, sabi niya, 'Oh, may friend pala ako na nagwe-wakeboard.' Sabi ko, sino? 'Nadine Samonte, kasama ko sa show,'" recalled Richard.

"Ito honest to goodness, ha. So I didn't know who Nadine was. Until nung nasa stoplight kami, chineck ko sa Google. 'Nadine Samonte... Ah, okay. Siya pala 'yun. Cute siya.' So sakto, tinawagan ng Mom ko [si Nadine]. Sabi niya, 'Oh, ang anak ko magwe-wakeboard today.' Sabi ni Nadine, 'Ah, Tita, I'm here na.' Nasa wake park na raw siya. So sabi ng mom ko, 'Oh, nandoon si Nadine.' Sabi ko, 'Oh sige, tuturuan ko na lang siya.' Kasi wala raw siyang friends doon and bago siya mag-wakeboard palang. So sabi ko, sige, turuan ko siya."

Just after a week since they first met each other, the two officially became a couple—something the StarStruck alum never imagined would happen, given that she is what she described as the conservative type.

"Pero kasi parang... iba, eh. Hindi ko alam 'yung feeling," the former actress added. "Actually, lagi ko ngang sinasabi sa mama ko na, 'Alam mo ba, Ma, dito ko makikilala 'yung mapapangasawa ko sa wake park.' Tapos laging sinasabi ng mama ko, 'Ah, ano 'yun foreigner?' Kasi maraming foreigners doon eh. Tapos sabi ko, 'Hindi, eh. Basta dito ko makikilala.' Tapos the moment na nagkita kami [ni Richard] sa wake park, kinutuban ako. Kasi parang sabi ko, 'Uy, parang siya na 'yun.' Iba 'yung feeling."
