MANILA – Television host Luis Manzano is getting tired of clarifying rumors concerning his relationship with actress Jennylyn Mercado.
In the past months, the couple has been plagued with rumors claiming that they have either separated, or they have already tied the knot.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Sunday, Manzano gave some "advice" to those who keep on spreading gossip about them.
“Nakakagulat nga, may hiwalay na kami, may pinagdadaanan, may live in, may kasal. Sabi ko lahat ng gumagawa ng issue mag-usap-usap para iisa lang. Kinasal daw [kami ni Jennylyn] sa Dubai, sa Batangas. Mag-usap-usap naman para isa lang ang sasagutin namin,” he said.
Manzano maintains he and Mercado have never been happier, but they are keeping their relationship out of the public eye.
“We may be artists, we may live in the public eye, pero hindi kami natatakot magtira para sa sarili namin. Kumbaga, alam ng mga tao ang storya namin, pero we still have that fine line na para sa amin lang. We may be showbiz, but hindi talaga kami showbiz,” he said.
Mercado was with Manzano and his entire family during the premiere screening of “Ekstra,” the first independent film of Manzano’s mom, Vilma Santos.
Asked whether they are open to working together, Manzano said: “In terms of network, medyo mahirap, kahit na nakatsamba kami sa mga guesting nung mga birthday namin. We wouldn’t want to work together kasi showbiz na nga kami, ihahain pa namin talaga ang relationship namin sa industriya, hindi na.”
Manzano and Mercado have been together for over a year now
