No baby plans yet for singer Yeng Constantino
MANILA, Philippines — Singer Yeng Constantino and husband Victor "Yan" Asuncion revealed that they have no plans yet to have a baby.
Victor said he wants Yeng to enjoy her life first because she began working at an early age. The couple were guests on broadcast journalist Karen Davila's YouTube vlog.
“Wala pa po right now. When we got married, sinabi namin na after two years mag-baby na kami. Pero ngayon eight years na kami pero wala pa rin,” Victor said.
"For Yeng, nakikita ko na 'Ahh ngayon lang siya nagiging bata.' She's been working since 'yung early age niya. Parang ngayon, I can finally provide for her na. Pwede kang maglaro-laro ngayon,” he added.

Yeng revealed that she knew Victor was the right one for her on their first date.
“First date pa lang. Nu'ng nagsasalita siya, mukha akong calm pero sa loob ko, 'yung kaba ko grabe. Sabi ko, 'Bakit ganon? Kasama naman sa worship team 'to pero wala naman akong nararamdaman.' Pero nu'ng first date namin, nu'ng kaharap ko na siya, ninerbyos ako,” she recalled.
“Na-predict ko na na mas mamahalin ko 'to kaysa mamahalin niya ako. Tina-try ko pang pigilan. After nu'ng date namin na 'yon, sabi ko lakad muna tayo. Three hours naglakad kami around BGC (Bonifacio Global City) na naka-heels ako. Sabi ko, 'Nako, ma-iinlove talaga 'ko nito kasi kaya ko nang maglakad ng naka-heels,” she added.
After their first date, Yeng called Victor because she couldn't sleep.
“Pero first date namin, 'pag-uwi ko ng bahay parang sasabog 'yung puso ko. Hindi ako makatulog so tinawagan ko siya ng 4 a.m. tapos sabi ko, 'Hello, gising ka pa? Gusto mo ba talaga ko?' Sabi niya, 'Oo, gusto talaga kita e.' Tapos sabi ko, 'Pag itutuloy mo, 'wag mo kong iwanan ha,'” she said.
Yeng and Victor tied the knot on February 14, 2015.
