Is Jean Garcia Truly A Love-Starved Cougar On And Off The Camera?

JEAN GARCIA plays a love-starved cougar in her recent film, “The Escort”, and also in her new one, “Mano Po 7: Chinoy”. She had sizzling love scenes with Derek Ramsay in the former and she now has a similarly hot love scene with Jake Cuenca in “Mano Po 7”. “At pareho rin akong unfaithful wife in both movies,” she adds. “Sa ‘Escort’, asawa ko si Rommel Padilla na pinabugbog si Derek. Dito naman sa ‘Mano Po 7’, asawa ako ng isang very rich Chinese taipan, si Richard Yap, but he’s always busy with his business kaya napabayaan ang buong family namin, pati ako, kaya nagka-affair kami ni Jake.”

Reporters at the presscon of “Mano Po 7” kidded her that even in real life, she seems to be a cougar reported to be having love affairs with younger guys like John Lloyd Cruz and Polo Ravales. The last younger guy linked to her was Jomari Yllana.

“Naku, kayo naman, mahilig kayong maniwala sa mga tsismis,” Jean says. “Mga katrabaho ko lang yun na naging kabarkada. Si Jomari, naging co-stars kami sa maraming soap, like ‘Alakdana’, ‘Kakambal ni Eliana’ at last nga, sa ‘The Half Sisters’, na inabot ng two years sa ere kaya naging close talaga kami. Tapos, when he ran sa last election as councilor, na nanalo naman siya, he asked me to help in his campaign at yun, sinuportahan ko naman siya. Marami kasi kaming naging fans dahil sa ‘The Half Sisters’. Pero parang magkapatid lang kami talaga. Walang malice ang friendship namin. May nakarinig daw na nag-a-I love you kami sa isa’t isa. Parang I love you nang magkapatid lang yun. Maski nga sa Facebook, we say I love you, pero wala kaming romantic relationship. Hindi ko talaga maisip na magiging magjowa kami. Dalawang taon na akong walang boyfriend at hindi naman ako naghahanap. If ever, magiging maingat na ako kasi 47 na ako. I don’t want to make another mistake at aksaya lang ng oras. Isa pa, lola na ako ni Mori (daughter of her own daughter, Jennica), ano?”
