Decorated point guard Kiefer Ravena has taken many roles in his life, but there are some parts that he didn’t expect to play in his personal life.
Kiefer Ravena has proved time and time again that he is ready for any role that is given to him on the basketball court, as he’s taken his talents in the Philippines and abroad with much success.
But what some people might fail to see is that Ravena is also willing and able to play different parts outside of the court. That is in his personal life, the former Ateneo standout is eager to be what he and partner Diana Mackey needs at this point in their relationship.
Getting ready for a wedding, Ravena said that though he didn’t expect himself to be so involved in planning his wedding to the beauty queen, he was more than excited to plan for the rest of his life with Mackey.
“Medyo ano siya eh, quick engagement but at the same time, I’m having fun actually on preparing the wedding,” said Ravena on Noli Eala’s Power & Play.
“Di ko inakala na magiging ganito ako ka-hands on kasi usually alam mo naman… Yung mga ganito is parang sige pabayaan na natin yung mga partners natin tapos kung ano na yung gusto mo, ikaw na bahala. It turns out that I’m more hands on than what I expected to be.”
Ravena, who currently plays for the Yokohama B-Corsairs in Japan, said that he takes on the challenge of balancing his life as a professional athlete, and being able to provide what Mackey needs for him ahead of their wedding.
In the same interview, Ravena also played coy about possibly starting a family with the flight attendant.
“Baka hindi na makahabol ng bata si Papa eh.” he said, speaking of basketball coach father Bong Ravena.
Regardless of what the future holds for Ravena and Mackey, there is one thing that people can be sure of, is that the 31-year-old will definitely be at his partner’s side for all of it.
Ravena also fondly recalled how he and Mackey met.
“We just have a common friend. We’ve known each other by names lang, but we never really met, we never really spoken to each other, never really formally introduced. Up until I had a common friend na I reached out to na parang pwede mo ba akong ipakilala finally kay Diana,” said Ravena.
“So something like that lang. And then, it was actually nothing really… We didn’t really expect anything. We were just having fun and getting to know each other. Up until you know, it was going to that direction already,” he added.
