According to his interview with Charlene Gonzales on The Buzz' "Straight From The Heart With Charlene" segment, they became real-life sweethearts last October 21, 2010.
Read below the excerpt of that interview:
Piolo Pascual: I've come to a point in my life na mas gusto kong magpakatotoo regardless of what people might say, regardless of people’s judgment or opinion, i guess because the person deserves it. I guess because i just owe it to myself, i owe it to the public and i owe it to that person.
Charlene: Piolo this is your chance. Be honest. Kayo na ba ni KC Concepcion?
Piolo: Yes!
Charlene: Piolo…that is something…that is something everybody wants to hear. And i am so happy for the both of you. How do you feel? It’s liberating isn’t it?
Piolo: It’s very liberating, siguro what I’ve to deal with is a…sorry I just have to expound on this. The reason why I never admitted naman or not elaborate it because may pinoprotektahan ako. You know how it is, I have a son na hindi mo makasama. Ayaw mong mapariwara ‘yung bata, ayaw mong magkaron ng ibang reaction kasi bata ‘yun, he’s only 13 years old. But I think I decided at this point na kung ano man ang magiging reaction ng anak ko from here, we just have to deal with it.
Charlene: And you’re at age and you’re son is of at age as well.
Piolo: And siguro para matigil na ‘yung mga nagpaparinig kay Kristina joke! (He must be referring to Azkals’ Phil Younghusband, Apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas and Rhap Fernandez who publicly expressed their admiration on KC Concepcion)
Charlene: Teka muna na-guilty naman ako kasama ba ako diyan, hindi naman di ba?
Piolo: Hindi naman, marami kasi ang nagsasabi na may gusto raw sa kanya pero I guess they just have to know that we’ve been together…
Charlene: For how long?
Piolo: Since last year.
Charlene: Kelan ang anniversary niyo?
Piolo: October 21.
Charlene: How did you get her to say yes? Ano ginawa mo?
Piolo: It took me 2 years. We’ve been going out for 2 years…tsaka na ‘yung detalye pero siyempre that’s one of the best days of my life.
Charlene: And how did you feel when she said yes?
Piolo: Siyempre na-relief. For the first time in so many years, more than 8 years, I’m getting into a relationship, a commitment, and I plan to keep it.
Charlene: Is she the woman that you would like to spend the rest of your life with?
Piolo: Siguro hindi naman ako aamin ng ganito o hindi ako magte-take ng risk kung sa tingin ko hindi ko gusto siya makasama habang buhay.
Piolo, by the way, has a message for those who are crushing and planning to take KC Concepcion out on a date: “she’s taken!”
