Famous celebrity kid Luis Manzano finally confirmed the rumour that she and Jennylyn Mercado are currently dating. He admitted the circulating rumor through a simple statement. “We are definitely dating,” he said.
The spark between the two started when they began to have martial arts training together. Both are fond of the sport making it easier for them to get closer and develop a strong bond. The actor also confirmed that he had been a fan of Jennylyn’s beauty ever since.
“Rarely [kami nag-uusap]. Kung text man, something to do with trabaho. ‘Yon lang, isang tanong, isang sagot. Ganoon lang. Everything started when we started training together ng muay thai and jiu jitsu. Kahit nasa kabila pa lang si Jenn, I’ve always been a fan of her beauty. Kahit noong nakita ko siya sa Legazpi hosting a pageant, sabi ko sa kasama ko ang ganda niya,” he said.
When asked about his stand on Jennylyn being a single mom, Luis came to her defences. Luis stated that he is not the one to judge her knowing that he had also been raised by a single mom, the legendary actress Vilma Santos.
“I don’t take it as a bad thing. Definitely any child is a blessing sa mga buhay buhay. And for some na nababasa ko na napaka-negative na tao na ini-insinuate na napakasama na maging ina at her age at mahirap makipagrelasyon sa may anak na, ang masasabi ko lang sa ganoon eh ‘di sana para na ring hinusgahan ang mommy ko. Dahil noong pumasok si Tito Ralph sa buhay ni mommy, my mom had me,” he said.
Jennylyn, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by Luis’s act of gallantry in coming to her defences. She stated that Luis is so sweet in being able to declare his admiration for her on TV. She also admitted that she felt special because of Luis’ action.
‚ÄúLuis is what you really call a true gentleman. Kahit sinong babae napakaswerte na maging kaibigan siya. Kasi lahat ng gusto ng babae meron siya. Gwapo, matangkad, edukado, ganda ng katawan (naks!) good sense of humor, intelligent, and most of all, he knows how to treat a lady,” she added.
She also has a special message to Luis whom she claimed to have brought a smile to her face.
‚ÄúThanks Luis for the support and also for always making me laugh. You are the one that made me smile again. Thanks for that,” she said. “Sa susunod na sparring natin ha, galingan mo na para ‚Äòdi na kita matalo.‚Äù
