Despite their denials, he and Kris Aquino continue to be linked to each other. Just recently, it was reported that he and Kris were seen searching for a house of their own and that Kris gave him a very expensive watch as birthday gift. “Kris and I became really close friends after we did ‘Dalaw’ last year, but there’s no romantic involvement between us,” he says. “About that house, it’s true nagpatulong ako sa kanyang humanap ng bahay kasi I gave my house in Sct. Gandia to my mom para doon na siya matira. So I have to look for a house of my own. May nakita kami sa Ayala Alabang, ang ganda roon, kaya lang ang layo. Gusto ko sa Quezon City area, para mas malapit sa trabaho. About the watch, nasaan? Wala pa kong natatanggap na gift from her.”
His ex, Kristine Hermosa, is now preggy with her first child with hubby Oyo Sotto. “I’m happy for them. Buti siya naka-settle down na. We all dream of that. Ako rin, my son Dream is now 7 years old and is in grade one.”
He swears he’s been loveless since he and Rima Ostwani parted. “Ang hirap to find time for love as I’m so busy with my Kids Foundation and also my various businesses. I even asked my siblings in the U.S. to come home for good to just help me out here kasi hirap din ang negosyo sa States ngayon. I’ve put up my own production company, Viznel. I and my partners want to produce movies that will impart good moral values. Ang dami na naming napiling story and we’re now talking to directors who might direct them. End of July, we’re going ni Robin Padilla to Europe to promote ‘Guns and Roses’ for TFC.”
