ARA MINA tells us it’s not true her sister Cristine Reyes is pregnant. “Ako ang pregnant and our sister Haydee who’s giving birth in November,” she says at the presscon of TV5’s “Trenderas” that starts airing tomorrow at 9PM. “Inaamin namin ni Cristine na gusto na rin niyang magbuntis. But as of now, she’s not, next year pa raw niya gustong magbuntis. Na-meet na ng family namin yung boyfriend niyang Persian-Filipino at okay naman siya.”
Ara is already six months preggy with her first born, a baby girl, but we tell her that her tummy doesn’t look that big enough for someone who’s giving birth in December. Will she and Bulacan Mayor Patrick Meneses be getting married soon?
“Gusto ko, after I’ve given birth na,” she says. “Sure na ko sa relationship namin. Three years na kami, e. Pero magpapapayat muna uli ako para maganda ako sa wedding namin.”
In “Trenderas”, Ara plays the mom of newcomer Lara Maigue. She figures in a love triangle with the comebacking Tina Paner over Dingdong Avanzado. Is it okay for her to play mother roles now? “Oo naman. Lahat naman, napagdaanan ko na. I did sexy roles, serious dramas, nanalo na ko ng awards. Now, busy ako sa business kong Ara’s Secret at itong acting, pasundot-sundot na lang kasi nami-miss ko rin naman.”
