MANILA, Philippines -- Actor Matteo Guidicelli and Jessy Mendiola admitted that there were also awkward moments working together again.
"Siyempre mayroon. Hindi ba mayroon?" Mendiola told ABS-CBNNews.com on Wednesday night during the launch event of their newest endorsement LINE.
"Ah hindi ko alam, hindi ko alam kung awkward o hindi. Pero alam mo kami kasi ni Jessy kapag nasa set kami ay sobrang sanay kami sa isa't isa kasi six months kami magkasama sa Paraiso. Parang our working relationship and everything, our partnership is very nice together," Guidicelli said.
Last week, Mendiola revealed that that she and Guidicelli have agreed to end their special relationship.
The actress also stressed that she and her "Paraiso" leading man were never officially a couple.
Weeks after her revelation, Mendiola said that as actors it is inevitable that they will see each other again.
"Well, we are co-workers so hindi naman talaga maiiwasan sa mundo nating maliit na magkasalubong or whatever," Mendiola said.
Asked to comment on Mendiola's revelation that they ended their "almost there" relationship, Guidicelli replied: "Kami ni Jessy we are very close. Magkasama kami sa Paraiso for six months, sobrang bonded kami ni Jessy. Hindi ko talaga makakalimutan yung moments that we are always together on set with the director and everything. So I will cherish every moment and it's a blessing to work again with her in the future."
Guidicelli then thanked Mendiola for admitting that she was ready to love him.
"Salamat, Jessy, for appreciating, thank you so much."
The actor also addressed the issue saying that he initiated the alleged break-up with Mendiola.
"Wala pong ganyan, wala po," he said.
Mendiola became close to Guidicelli while doing the afternoon series "Paraiso," which ended its run last April.
Mendiola was quick to say that she's not closing her doors to the actor-athlete.
But for Guidicelli, he stressed that his priority now is his career and his sports.
"All I'm doing right now is concentrating on my new soap, the thing I'm working on Biggest Loser and I have my Iron Man coming up this August so yun kino-concentrate ko talaga," he said.
