Kris Bernal on Jolo Revilla: Ngayon magkaibigan kami
A couple of months after admitting Jolo Revilla is courting her, Kapuso star Kris Bernal revealed that she and the Kapamilya actor are now just friends.
“Sa amin ni Jolo, ngayon magkaibigan kami. Natigil na yung panliligaw. Napag-desisyunan kasi namin na maging magkaibigan na muna,” she said during the press conference for “Hiram na Puso,” GMA-7’s upcoming afternoon soap opera.
The 22-year-old actress added that they both decided it’s better if they remain just friends for now.
“Kasi napagdesisyunan nga namin na mas okay kung maging magkaibigan muna kami. Yung panliligaw, sabi ko, hindi ko kasi alam kung handa akong ma-in love ulit,” she said. “Saka hindi ko pa siya masyadong kilala.”
Kris explained that she felt her relationship with Jolo at that point was moving too fast.
“Parang hindi pa naming nakikilala ang isa’t isa tapos lumalalim na, patagal ng patagal na, teka, ako ba handa ako? Ayokong pumasok sa isang relasyon na hawak ko pa yung past.”
Kris used to be linked to Kapuso singer-actor Jay Perillo.
Friends again
As for Jay, she said they’re now friends again—although they didn’t reconcile as lovers.
“Siyempre, nagkaroon kami ng samaan ng loob noon. Pero ngayon, okay kami. Magkabarkada kami,” Kris said. “Kaya kung nakikita nila kami sa Twitter na nagkakausap, dahil magkaibigan na kami.”
She added, “Ako lumapit sa kanya (Jay) kasi ayoko ng kaaway, ayoko ng may samaan ng loob. May closure na talaga kaya ang ganda ng relationship naming ngayon.”
Is Jay courting someone?
“Alam ko ngayon may bago siyang nililigawan,” Kris shared. “Ayoko namang manggaling sa akin kung sino yung bago niya. Siguro kapag sinabi na lang niya. Pero ayokong manggaling sa akin kung sino,” she further said.
New show
Kris is now focusing on her acting career. Just a few months after her primetime drama “Time of My Life” ended, the Kapuso star will star in “Hiram na Puso” with Gina Alajar, Mark Herras, and Bela Padilla.
Kris said she still gets surprised with the trust GMA-7 is giving her.
“Pag nagkaka-show ka, parang feeling mo natutupad yung dreams mo para sa family mo. Kasi ako I work for my family, she said. “Sila yung inspiration ko kaya ako nagwo-work ngayon. Ang sarap ng feeling na, ngayon, may bagong show. Umaasa ulit sila na pagbutihan ko.”
How is this show different from her previous projects?
“Ibang-iba ito kasi first time kong gumanap ng role na sakit-sakitan. Yung last shows ko, nagco-concentrate sa love team, sa love life. Ngayon, nagco-concentrate sa mother and daughter relationship so ang sarap kasi kung paano ako sa nanay ko, nakikita ko rin dito,” Kris explained. “Ang sarap. Ang sarap gawin ng mga eksena kasi parang totoo.”
“Hiram na Puso” premieres Monday, March 5, on GMA’s Afternoon Prime.
