By Chennai has played a significant role in nurturing the love story of actress Reba Monica John and Joemon, from their initial connection to their marriage. From savoring street food at Bessy Beach to enjoying scenic drives to Mahabalipuram, they reflect on how the city played a pivotal role in bringing them together.
‘MOST OF OUR CHERISHED MEMORIES ARE ROOTED IN CHENNAI’
REBA: During the Bigil shoot, Joe would visit me, and our favorite pastime was heading to the beach. Long drives to Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry created many wonderful memories. Chennai holds a special place for us, and most of our cherished moments are rooted in this city.
JOE: In the early days, I would frequently travel to Chennai to meet Reba, and that contributed significantly to strengthening our bond.
‘I CAN SHARE ANYTHING WITH HIM, NO FILTERS NEEDED’
REBA: Despite our busy schedules, we consciously make time to prioritize quality moments together. Joe is someone who truly listens, and I see a friend in him. The comfort and openness in our communication convinced me that he is the one I want to spend my life with.
JOE: Reba’s inner beauty matches her outer grace. Life without her is unimaginable now. We’ve reached a point where everything seems incomplete without her. The right things happen when you least expect them. When the time is right, you just know.
SHE’S DEDICATED TO FAMILY BEYOND MEASURE: JOE
REBA: A significant portion of my work has unfolded in Chennai, and the city has become dear to my heart. Various places in Chennai hold strong memories, and the immense love and support from the people here are truly remarkable. Our cherished romantic spot is Bessy Bridge, where we order chai, sit by the beach, dip our legs in the water, and share moments of self-reflection and playful banter.
JOE: Reba’s humility despite her celebrity status is admirable. Secondly, as the primary provider for her family, especially after losing her father, she tirelessly pursued her goals. Thirdly, her caring nature goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of her loved ones.
