She said she wants Joshua to enjoy his booming showbiz career and this is also not the time for the actor to be limited as he is still young and he is currently at his peak in the showbiz industry.
She stated,
“Because he’s young and he’s in his prime and he’s a brilliant actor. It’s not the time to be limited right now. I want him to really enjoy his time.”
The actress also said that one of the things she appreciates about Joshua is that she respects her boyfriend Gerald Anderson.
