Real-life couple Erich Gonzales and Daniel Matsunaga grace the back-to-back covers of this month’s issue of Cosmopolitan Philippines and Cosmo Men, the bonus mini-mag that comes free with the magazine. Stunningly sexy and obviously in love, Erich flashes her signature smile and svelte frame in a body-con skirt and a cropped top, while Daniel, showing off his abs in a pair of colorful, carnival-inspired shorts, encourages readers to step right up and witness this year’s Cosmo Carnival-themed Bachelor Bash, held on September 5 at the MOA Concert Grounds.

Eager to talk about her newfound romance for the first time, Erich opens up about her relationship with Brazilian-Japanese model-turned-actor Daniel Matsunaga, which started when the two were paired on an episode of Kris TV. “First time kong magsalita about him kasi laging siya,” Erich admits. The 25-year-old actress has always prioritized her privacy, but revealed in the interview how #DanRich started and blossomed into a beautiful relationship. Erich describes Daniel as her soul mate and the male version of herself.  

In Cosmo Men, Daniel Matsunaga helms this year’s batch of Cosmo’s Celebrity Centerfolds, composed of JC De Vera, Elmo Magalona, and Derrick Monasterio; PBA players Jens Knuttel and Ryan Arana; and models LA Aguinaldo, Kirst Viray, Amadeo Leandro, and Clint Bondad. Also featured in the mini-mag are the 69 Carnival Kings—the latest and hottest batch of Cosmo’s 69 Bachelors.
