Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa came to the defense of her boyfriend Jake Cuenca who recently drew flak for pulling a proposal prank on her.
Jake on Thursday shared on Instagram a video showing Kylie in the midst of a romantic dinner setup where he said he would like to ask her “one thing”.
Netizens thought that Jake was already going to propose to Kylie, but frowned at the actor for only asking the beauty queen-turned-actress if she had already eaten.
While others found the prank amusing, some netizens called out Jake for being “insensitive” and making a “bad joke” that could have hurt Kylie’s feelings.
Jake, however, pointed out that he and Kylie “get each other and we get the timing of things,” and further said he wouldn’t hesitate to get down on one knee for his girlfriend but at the right time.
