In an interview with PEP, the kapuso actress said she was surprised when the son of late Master Rapper Francis Magalona made the admission because they did not plan to reveal it during the press conference for their upcoming series “More Than Words.”
Janine Gutierrez said she felt flattered because she feels that Elmo Magalona is happy being with her, adding that she will no longer think of her answers to the media when asked by their relationship.
“Siyempre, I was flattered because he’s okay to tell people, ‘di ba? Siyempre, nakaka-flatter ‘yon for a girl. Tapos, feeling ko, ang saya niya na he’s with me,” she said. “Actually, sobrang positive ng nararamdaman ko after niyang umamin. Parang hindi ko na kailangang mag-isip sa interview kung how much can I say.”
Janine Gutierrez clarified also that she and Elmo Magalona did not intend to hide their relationship from the public, saying that they wanted to keep it on their own while it’s still new.
According to the 25-year-old star, they have been together for few months already. She also said that their relationship only started after their series “Villa Quintana” concluded in June.
“Villa Quintana” was the first project together of the real-life couple. They are set to reunite in the GMA series “More Than Words.”
