MANILA, Philippines — Amid promotions for his Valentine movie “Unofficially Yours,” John Lloyd Cruz confirmed that indeed, he is “officially” back with Shaina Magdayao.
The two kapamilya stars decided to part ways November of last year to “fix personal issues” not only as a couple but also as individuals.
“Nagkahiwalay kami, nagkabalikan and now we’re doing perfectly fine,” John Lloyd briefly declared in his live interview on “The Buzz,” Jan. 29.
Prior, the actor revealed on Saturday’s “E-Live” that he and Shaina have gotten back together.
“Okay kami [ni Shaina]. Kami na ulit. Matagal-tagal na rin,” he said.
Describing their rekindled relationship, John Lloyd said that it’s “better than ever,” adding that he and Shaina plan a vacation soon.
“Kung papayagan kami. We’re planning this big trip kasama ‘yung family niya naman,” he added. During their first anniversary as a couple last June, John Lloyd and Shaina went on a month-long European trip.
JL’s Leading Ladies: Angel, Sarah
In the same “The Buzz” interview, John Lloyd talked about his upcoming film with his former “Imortal” leading lady Angel Locsin. In “Unofficially Yours,” the drama actor, who is used to moving audiences with his crying scenes, goes sexy for the first time.
John Lloyd did a number of daring scenes in the movie. “Parang experiment ang ginawa ko na rin sa sarili ko, because I wanted to portray a character na hindi naman kailangan porke’t kailangang maghubad sa isang eksena, kailangan ba lagi maganda ang makita, o perpekto [ang katawan] o parang hinulma [para maging sexy]. Feeling ko nga ako ang representative ng karamihan sa mga lalaki [na hindi kailangan maganda ang katawan],” he explained.
John Lloyd also described Angel’s sexiness “effortless.”
“Napaka-sexy, ‘di na kailangan ng pelikulang ito, kahit wala ang pelikulang ito, si Angel andun na, number one sexiest sa Pilipinas,” he said.
Speaking of another leading lady, host Boy Abunda asked John Lloyd about his former “A Very Special Love” and “You Changed My Life” partner Sarah Geronimo.
On “ASAP Rocks” earlier, Sarah was fondly calling John Lloyd “Bebe ko,” her term of endearment for John Lloyd’s character in their films. According to John Lloyd, he and Sarah might do a third movie this year.
Sarah is now romantically being linked to her “Catch Me… I’m In Love” and “Won’t Last A Day Without You” leading man Gerald Anderson.
