“I have opened myself to love once again. I think that’s pretty special because for many years or since 2021, sarado talaga. I’m just really happier and grateful,” she said during the recent launch of her holiday tune When Christmas Comes.

Geneva was reluctant at first to reveal the identity of her special someone, but she finally gave in during the later part of the press conference.

Giving hints, she described her boyfriend as “national athlete, the one in the (music video) and is into jiu-jitsu." He's Dean Roxas, a jiu-jitsu national athlete and SEA Games gold medalist, who appeared in the singer's When Christmas Comes music video, directed by her good friend Jeffrey Hidalgo.

"I'm happier, 'yun yung kaibahan ng Christmas ko this year," declared Geneva.

"And I'm very, very proud (of him).

He inspires me to be better in life.
