Later, when Donita migrated to Angeles City, Pampanga, as a famous face, she again met Eric who at that time was an ad agency art director. Afterward, the pair started dating, and Eric finally proposed Donita for marriage at the Golden Gate Bridge in December 2001. 

But after the proposal, the duo had to remain in a long distance relationship for a while, as Donita was at Singapore and Eric was in California for their works.
