KTKT's Dan Gates suggested the name Dearly Beloved, which was the title of a book that had caught his eye. As The Intruders/Qunistrells needed a new name, it was perfect for media hype.

Dearly Beloved' is not just any relationship drama. It serves as an homage to 'Relasyon,' the iconic 1982 movie about non-traditional relationships that starred Christopher de Leon and Vilma Santos.
