Daniel Matsunaga Still Hurting After Heart Evangelista Dumped Him

DANIEL MATSUNAGA won the hearts of viewers who saw him getting emotional and crying unabashedly in “Showbiz Central” while being interviewed by host Raymond Gutierrez. It’s apparent that it was Heart Evangelista who initiated their breakup and he’s the one who’s now so badly affected by it. Earlier that day, they bumped into each other at GMA as they’re both in “Party Pilipinas”, but although Heart made beso-beso with him, it’s said that she was very cold to him. “Parang napilitan lang,” kibitzers add.

Some girls say Heart is so fortunate to have someone like Daniel, who’s so handsome and macho, falling for her intensely like that and has no qualms shedding tears on national TV to show his love for her. They say Daniel certainly deserves someone better who’d reciprocate his affection. Daniel said all his family and friends felt so sad when the split happened but he won’t comment on the observation that Heart gave in to her family’s request to call it quits with him.

Despite what happened, he’s still willing to work with Heart again in a show. They met in “Langit sa Piling Mo” in 2010. But he’s not sure if Heart would be willing to work with him again. Is he ready for a new girlfriend?

“Not yet.” What’s his message to Heart? “I hope you find the best one for you and that this person could do better than I.”

Even the staffers of “Showbiz Central” got misty eyed after watching Daniel profess his sincere love for Heart. Daniel continued crying even after his segment in the show has ended and other reporters inside the studio respected him and no longer pressed that he be interviewed further.

Meantime, in “Showbiz Central” next Sunday, watch out for the special appeareance of ABS-CBN’s Luis Manzano in the show’s special 5th anniversary presentation. Luis will be guesting on GMA-7 after his girlfriend, Jennylyn Mercado, earlier guested in his show, “Deal or No Deal”.
