‘Sobrang chill’: Mikael and Megan still so in love, but forgot Valentine’s Day

February 18 ------ “I’m not sure—baka biglaan na lang ‘yun!” Mikael Daez quipped, when asked if having a baby and starting their own family is something he and his wife, Megan Young, are now considering. In their past interviews and podcasts, Mikael and Megan said it was a conscious decision not to try for a baby immediately after their wedding in 2020, because they wanted to enjoy their relationship as a married couple first, and make the most out of their respective career opportunities.

But things seem to be starting to change. “Before, we used to say, ‘Not yet.’ But now, perhaps one of these days, baka magulat na lang tayong lahat,” Mikael said in a recent virtual conference for GMA 7’s new comedy infotainment program, “The Best Ka!” which airs Sundays, 3:50 p.m., starting Feb. 20. “And don’t worry, baka ako rin magulat!” the 34-year-old actor-host said, laughing.

But no rush, no pressure. Right now, Mikael and Megan are simply enjoying life in their new home in Subic, Zambales. “I’m in love with Subic. Now that we have spent a couple of months there I can say that life is good there—maluwag, maaliwalas, there are so much to do,” he said.

And so far, shuttling between Subic and Manila for their work-related commitments hasn’t really been a problem. “We realized that we can go back and forth. We take turns driving, one hour each. We feel reassured,” he said.

The couple bought an old house in the province after tying the knot, but couldn’t move in right away because they had to do a lot of renovation work. And then the COVID-19 pandemic caused further delays. But it was all worth the wait. “I feel like this will be permanent. Well, you know Megan and I, we travel often … we travel everywhere. But I would like to call Subic our main home,” he said.

Two years into their marriage and nothing has really changed. “Sobrang chill kami … We do the same things together. And I love her just as much,” he said. Well, so chill, in fact, that they forgot about Valentine’s Day. And that’s fine. “We both woke up late. It was only until we went on Instagram that we realized it was Valentine’s Day! So we just greeted each other,” Mikael said. “I was planning on building a gaming PC for her that day anyway, so that was my gift for her.”
