Glaiza de Castro shared that she and her Irish husband, David Rainey, are now planning to have a baby.
"Gusto ko ng magka-anak," she revealed in an interview on the Think Talk Tea podcast of Kring Kim. "Isa 'yun sa projects na talagang tinatrabaho namin ngayon ni David."
The actress relayed that she is now ready to shift her focus to having a family. "Kasi parang ang tagal ko ng umaarte, ang tagal ko ng binigay 'yung sarili ko dun sa industriya na thankful naman ako talaga. Gusto kong i-emphasize 'yun. Napapagod ako yes, wala akong hatred towards it. Kumbaga parang ano lang ibang priority kasi parang sa tagal ko na rin na ginagawa 'to, 'yun nga eh makikita mo na may ibang reality ka pa pala," she said.
Glaiza remarked that meeting her husband made her realize that there is life beyond showbiz. "Nung time na na-meet ko si David, 'yun ang isa sa mga realizations ko na reality ko ito pero iba 'yung reality ko 'pag kasama ko siya. Kasi hindi ako si Glaiza de Castro, hindi ako artista, hindi ko kailangang umarte, hindi ko kailangang isipin 'yung hitsura ko, hindi ko kailangang isipin kung ano ang kailangan kong gawin. Ini-enjoy ko lang 'yung buhay ko na kasama siya na nasa ibang bansa ako," the actress remarked.
David is currently based in Ireland. "'Pagka nandun ako sa ibang bansa parang sa araw-araw, 'yung ginagawa ko dun, wala akong kailangang i-please na tao, parang ganun," she shared.
Glaiza and David first met in Siargao in 2018 during her birthday trip. They became a couple later that year and got engaged in December 2020, during one of Glaiza’s visits to David’s hometown in Ireland.
They tied the knot in October 2021 through a Game of Thrones-inspired ceremony in Northern Ireland.
On January 23, 2023, the couple held a second wedding in the Philippines, which was a Filipiniana-themed beachside ceremony in Zambales.
In an interview with Boy Abunda back in March, Glaiza got candid about the realities of a long-distance marriage.
"Masaya, though siyempre nandiyan pa rin ang challenges sa aming distance," she admitted. "Kasi hindi pa rin naman natatapos 'yung parang chapter namin sa pag-alis at pagdating. 'Yung love and hate relationship sa airport, nandiyan pa rin."
Glaiza said she was grateful to have spent several special occasions with David in Ireland last year, but admitted that living away from each other again never gets easier.
