Reunion with a twist
Fast forward to now, and Mimiyuuuh and EJ are back together—only this time, it’s got a fun twist.
In a hilarious lie detector test, Mimiyuuuh put the 28-year-old pole vault star in the hot seat, grilling him about his dating preferences.
EJ Obiena has opened up about his love language, and it’s all about quality time. In the hustle and bustle of an athlete’s life, time becomes a precious symbol of affection.
The Filipino Olympian also dropped some wisdom on gift-giving. He believes the thoughtfulness behind saving up and buying a gift makes it truly special.
“May tao na may 100 [pesos] and may tao na may piso. ‘Yong may 100, nagbigay ng piso. ‘Yong may piso, binigay niya ‘yong piso. Like, who gives more?”
EJ’s perspective on love and generosity is as inspiring as his athletic achievements.
Life and Sports
Aside from his love life, the nation’s boyfriend also got real about his journey in sports. Mimiyuuuh asked him, “Do you think sports changed your life?” and EJ replied with a heartfelt, “Definitely.”
He shared how being an Olympian seemed like a distant dream back in the day. “As a kid, I never imagined I’d be here. I just wanted to clear five meters, and now, here I am, one meter beyond that. It’s been an incredible journey, achieving things I never thought possible,” EJ reminisced.
But here’s the real tea—Mimiyuuuh hit EJ with the big question: “May chance ba tayo?” To which EJ shot back with a friendly, “As a friend, of course.”
Even though Mimiyuuuh got friend-zoned, their playful chemistry as friends is totally worth watching.
EJ is happily taken, though, in a loving relationship with German athlete Caroline Joyeux for four years now.
With his natural charm, charisma, and dedication to Philippine sports, our pambansang jowa is definitely still worth simping for.
