"Non-showbiz. Selosa kasi ako. So hindi magwo-work kapag showbiz," she said. 

“Saka magulo. Gusto ko ng private relationship,” she added. 

When asked what are the qualities she likes about her boyfriend, Ivana said: “Alam mo ang nagustuhan ko? Wala siyang kayabang-yabang."

“Saka, kasi ang number one na nakaka-turnoff sa akin ‘yung mayabang. Ayaw ko ng ganu’n. And super blessed and happy. Feeling ko, malapit na, pwede nang mag-asawa. Char," she laughed.

The "FPJ's Batang Quiapo" star said that her boyfriend already passed the test from her family. 

“Of course, it’s important, kailangan siya pumasa sa Mommy ko. Well, hindi lang sa mom ko but also with my whole family. And advice ng mom ko ay, ‘Wag kang laging magmadali and ‘wag mo ibigay ang lahat',” Ivana shared.
