When Donny Pangilinan visited the Pinoy Big Brother house, Shuvee Etrata, who admitted that she has a huge crush on the actor, described him as the epitome of T.D.H. (tall, dark, and handsome).
The ex-housemate's iconic reaction on her encounter with Donny became a viral sensation, with several netizens reenacting it.
Fast forward to the eviction night that marked the end of her PBB journey when a man who fits the same description welcomed Shuvee back to the outside world. Their sweet moments were caught in some of the videos that circulated online.
During Shuvee’s guest appearance on GMA’s morning news program, Anthony Constantino, an internet personality and model, made a surprise visit.
“Guys, nandito na po ang TDH ko,” Shuvee said on the show, delighting their supporters.
In a separate interview with GMA News, the actress revealed that Anthony is her suitor.
“Nanliligaw ‘yun bago ako pumasok (sa PBB house),” she said.
The ex-PBB housemate said she decided not to commit in a relationship yet, considering the repercussions of it.

“It’s the worst thing you could do to man, saying ‘yes’ na papasok ka ng PBB," she said. "Ang hirap, I could just imagine kung meron kami. Kasi kahit noong nandoon ako sa loob, hirap na hirap ako, wala akong something to hold on to."
“Gusto ko pa siyang kilalanin... manligaw muna pa siya,” she added.
In the morning show, Shuvee expressed her gratitude to Anthony for his patience and support.
“I’m really grateful for you,” she said. “I really did not expect to see you outside the house (during the eviction night). Thank you for patiently waiting. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for being so special.”
Meanwhile, Anthony also expressed a sweet and heartfelt message for the actress.
“Really, I just want to take this moment to just show what you really mean to me,” he said. “Ever since I’ve met you, really, you’ve been so kind, and I could just tell that you really wear your heart on your sleeve, and you really love everybody with all of your heart. And I’m really blessed and lucky to have you in my life.”
