MANILA, Philippines – Aljur Abrenica has denied rumors linking him to Ava Jugeta, his batch mate on “StarStruck 4” and member of sexy female group Pretty Young Thing.
“Ava is just a good friend of mine. Isa siya sa mga unang-unang nakilala ko sa ‘StarStruck’ n’ung batch namin. And kilala siya ni daddy, kilala siya ni mama,” the actor said in a taped interview aired on “Unang Hirit,” Feb. 16.
Apparently, the communication lines between the two have been reopened through the popular microblogging site, Twitter.
“Nag-tweet siya sa ‘kin, ‘Ikaw ba talaga ‘to?’ ‘Yeah!’ sabi ko. Binigay ko ‘yung number ko, tinext ko na rin [siya], ta’s nagkita kami. Siyempre, na-miss namin ang isa’t isa,” Aljur said.
Meanwhile, the Kapuso star related that he and rumored girlfriend Kylie Padilla don’t get to see each other much these days.
“Minsan talaga dumating sa time na hindi kami masyadong nagco-communicate kasi sobrang busy niya. Ayoko rin naman na istorbo sa mga sched niya, sa mga trabaho niya. At the same time ako rin may tinatapos akong movie,” said he.
Aljur is currently taping for “My Kontrabida Girl,” while Kylie topbills the afternoon soap, “The Good Daughter.”
“So hindi na kami madalas magkita. Dito na lang sa ‘Party Pilipinas,” he added.
In an earlier interview, Kylie also confirmed not spending time with Aljur as much as they used to but claimed that they remain close to each other.
In any case, Aljur, like Kylie, said that he’s putting love in the backseat for now in order to focus on his career.
