It’s said that she and Shaun are now very close during tapings. “Mas maganda na ang relationship namin compared to before. Kasi dati, sobrang tahimik lang siya when we started taping. Siguro dahil kami nina Paolo and Andre, pare-parehong taga-ABS and he’s from GMA. But now, mas relaxed na siya sa company namin at nakikipagbiruan na siya sa akin, sa aming lahat.”
In an interview, Shaun said she’s ‘girlfriend material’. How does she feel about it? “E, di salamat. Siempre, nakaka-flatter for any girl masabing girlfriend material siya. Ibig sabihin, mabait kang kasama and naa-appreciate ka niya. But as of now, we’re just enjoying each other’s company at wala muna yang mga ligawan dahil mas concerned kami na mapaganda pa at mapag-rate nang mas mataas ang ‘ParangNormal Activity’.”
Their co-stars, Paulo and Andre, say they’ll approve if Ella and Shaun will be going steady in real life. “May chemistry sila,” says Andre. “Kapag magkaeksena sila, maraming kinikilig. Hindi kami magtataka kung magiging sila nga.”
